We collaborated with Modern Atlanta’s forefather/design connousieur/big picture man, Bernard McCoy, on this run of limited edition tees for MA08’s “Design is Human” event taking place tonight [5.9.08]. The above photo shows back collar graphic location and hand-numbered detailing.

We were asked to create a hanging art installation to be featured in an upcoming art exhibit at Halo Lounge in Atlanta. We don’t have all the event details yet, but we’ll post them as soon as we find out more.
Realizing that a clean & sexy version of the installation can only be achieved through experimentation, we decided it would be good to begin working in real space. Today we created a rough prototype of what will be called, Medusa Armada.
Thanks to Ted Ullrich for helping us create this 3D piece from concept to execution.

Georgia Tech I.D. grad student, Ted Ullrich, is a man on a mission to stay busy this summer. He’s doing double-duty with us in addition to an internship with our pals at Armchair Media. If you’re around our studio at The Center for Design Study this summer, you’ll probably run into him. He’ll be helping us with all kinds of “outside-the-box” projects, including a possible art installation later this month. More details to come. For now, check out Ted Ullrich’s Portfolio Site.
We’ve been getting designs ready to meet our mid-summer deadline for our new line called, Process, due to roll-out in the Spring of 2009. We’ve got a teaser image online now at www.processclothing.com. If you’d like to see more, stop by our studio in Atlanta anytime and we’ll show what we’ve been cooking up.
What you see above is a production shot from a recent photo shoot for a Megan Huntz Dresses x Process collaboration. Thanks to Ross Martin for running an awesome shoot and to Iris for the looks.

Sopo Bicycle Cooperative is pleased to present their first ever Bicycle Frame Show, a group show of bicycle frames designed on and transformed by local artists and artist collectives. The show is at Green Certified Radial Cafe in Candler Park. Frames are on sale now for $200 each. Unsold and For-Auction-Only frames will be auctioned during the closing reception on Saturday, April 26, between 7 pm and 11 pm. The party features performances by Hot Toddy’s Flaming Cabaret, Atlanta Sedition Orchestra, and Lindsay Appel.
All proceeds benefit Sopo Bicycle Cooperative, your 501(c)3 nonprofit community bicycle repair shop, located in sunny East Atlanta.
It’s always great to participate in fresh, local art shows. We’ve been talking with Rachael Spiewak with Sopobikes.org; helping her brainstorm ideas for this show since last December. Not only did we get the opportunity to do a custom bike frame, but she asked us to design the show poster. Don’t miss out.

The past 2 months have been exhausting, yet very rewarding for EC. Starting a design company ain’t easy. It’s even harder to run a hybrid design company/clothing line like we do. I’ve been to Las Vegas, Destin, Detroit, Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong on business (and a little bit of personal time) all within a matter of weeks. It’s like I’ve hardly spent any time in Atlanta working on the new clothing line. That’s right, I said “NEW CLOTHING LINE”! We’re launching a new line in the Spring of 2009 that’s top secret for now…well, not totally top secret. If you come by our studio in Atlanta we’ll be glad to show you what we’re working on.
We’re totally planning to be carried nationwide and perhaps internationally. While I’ve been in Asia sourcing, Georgios has been hard at work on mood boards, color palates, and graphics for the new line at The Center for Design Study in Atlanta. I’m looking forward to getting back into the thick of things next week. Until then I wanted to share some recent Epidemik Coalition & Demuns by Epidemik Coalition related photos from all over the globe proving that the movement has begun!

Here’s a link to a few of the photos we took of the Rehab/Demun Jones show in Destin, FL on the 16th. This show was the first time Demuns by Epidemik Coalition tees were for sale in the public eye. As you can see, Demun Jones was looking mighty crispy in his heather grey Demuns logo tee. Pick up yours at Demuns.com.
We went back up to Coca-Cola HQ this past week and installed a few more things that we didn’t get to finish on the last round. We had a fun time experimenting with spray paint and inks. We have a few more things to install and a whole conference room to design. So keep a lookout for future Project Fourt news.
Check out more photos after the jump.

“American Excess” graphic tee available now at demuns.com
Demuns by Epidemik Coalition is the official name of our newest collaboration with Georgia’s own, Demun Jones. We’re the design team and we’re using Demun’s life experiences and stories as inspirations for a new line of tees and other softgoods (coming soon). His humility and openness to share his highs and lows has allowed us to design without censorship which has been a creative playground for us.
Series 1 of these limited edition graphic tees are available for purchase online at Demuns.com or in person at every Demun Jones show starting with the upcoming Destin, Florida date at Woody’s on March 16th.
Check Demuns.com often, as well will be constantly updating the site with new styles. See you on tour!
Our new stickers have just arrived. At 4 x 4 inches, they’re the perfect size for any skateboard, guitar case, stop sign, foosball table, bar bathroom, pimp cup, or sketchbook. Pick up something in the Epidemik Coalition Online Store or fill out our Contact Form (include your street address) and we’ll drop some in the mail for you.
We’re teaming up with Georgia-born rock star Demun Jones to release a new line of tees and lifestyle products called Demuns by Epidemik Coalition. This collaboration was born over numerous hours of attending Demun’s shows and meeting over sushi dinners between recording sessions. Look out for our first release in the next few weeks at Demun Jones concerts and in our respective online stores.
We’re the design team, and Demun’s life experiences are our inspiration. Visit the Demuns by Epidemik Coalition teaser site at Demuns.com & get your mother ready…
The Anglerfish is a rare fish that can be found in the deepest parts the ocean and even here in Atlanta’s Peachtree Creek. Imagine being in the deepest and coldest part of the Atlantic ocean and running into the Anglerfish. This sea monster of the abyss enjoys using a glowing lure to draw-in prey. It’s tough being a small fish in a large pond, unless you are an Anglerfish.
This unique fish inspired us to produce a vicious graphic tee. The tee captures the moment before the angler strikes. Just like EC’s growth in the past 2 years; the time is almost right for us to make our big move.
Get your Anglerfish tee in the Epidemik Coalition Online Store.
Thanks to Ross Martin of Ayy Gurl Studios for taking this photo and to model Daniel Hall.
We took Georgios’ modern interpretation of Atlanta’s iconic “A” and kicked it to the side and look what happened… We’re offering this print on a 100% cotton, American Apparel tee that is crisp, soft, and lightweight. I’ll have to get my Military Air Jordan IV’s out of the ice box to rock with this tee all Spring/Summer. Order yours in the Epidemik Coalition Online Store and start breaking necks!
In other news, we’re looking for reps in your city. If you consider yourself a trend-setter and you want to stay covered in EC gear for next to nothing except for a little legwork, email us at info@epidemikcoalition.com with a story or reason why we should be your sugar daddies.

1. Getting crunk (reppin’ ATL) in an endless supply of EC gear

We’re looking forward to hearing from you. Do your thing.
In cooperation with Knoll, MODA presents the first exhibition to examine the complete range of furniture designs of Eero Saarinen. Widely heralded as America’s foremost architect in the 1950s, Eero Saarinen (1910 - 1961) gained his earliest international prominence with his prize winning furniture designs done with your boy, Charles Eames, for the 1941 Museum of Modern Art Organic Design in Home Furnishings competition.
Saarinen’s subsequent cooperation with his life-long friend Florence Knoll resulted in his most noted designs: the Grasshopper Chair, the Womb Chair and derivative 70-Series searing and the iconic Pedestal Series of tables and chairs.
Designs for Everyday Living presents examples of Saarinen’s early furniture designs, sketches, photographs and descriptions of each of Saarinen’s collections, including a rare remaining example of the MoMA Organic Design chairs. Knoll has provided archival examples and pieces of Saarinen’s timeless designs from current production.
The Furniture of Eero Saarinen: Designs for Everyday Living
Museum of Design Atlanta
Opening Reception: January 31st, 5 pm - 8 pm
Congrats to our girl, Ansley Whipple, for her hard work in getting this exhibit together. We can’t wait to come through on the 31st!
2008 is going to be a big year for ATL’s design community and hopefully for Epidemik Coalition as well. We’ve created Atlanta-centric designs before, but this is definitely the most progressive. Georgios is predicting “big things poppin’ in 2008″ by presenting us with his modern reinterpretation of “the A” after hacking apart his favorite (and appropriately named) typeface, Futura.
We’ve also been watching a lot of old-school Mike Tyson fights and Rocky movies, hence our recent obsession with clean/classic heather grey. This is our unique remix of a gym-rat “basic” with modern lines that’ll keep you warm all winter. Note the subtle color gradient and the embroidered EC logo on the left cuff. Available now at the Epidemik Coalition Online Store.
