1st Place - Alan Woodruff - TEXAS RANGER CHUCK NORRIS
Congrats to Alan Woodruff & his team, Texas Ranger Chuck Norris, for winning the First Annual We Are The ProcessFantasy Football League. By defeating Ross Martin’s Duuuuuuuuval Destroyers 221 to 115, Alan earns bragging rights for the next year, and his name engraved on the base of our new trophy.
Thanks to Joe Martinez, we were able to gather our league winners for portraits as we awarded them with their trophies. Check them out after the jump. But first an announcement about next season:
Next year, the competition gets even more intense, as we’ll be adding new players, adding relegation league, and increasing the role of several player positions. We have plenty of time to discuss the details, but if you’re interested in joining our league next year, now is the time to start sucking-up to the powers that be. Not everyone that played this year will be getting a bid to re-up for next season! Especially if you were the bro that:
1) traded Ronnie Brown for Plaxico Burress
2) traded Peyton Manning for an injured Michael Turner
3) started Seneca Wallace for 3 weeks straight
A few weeks back, I spent some time in Hong Kong made a point to “look-under-the-hood” of the inner workings of Hypebeast as I spent the afternoon with Managing Editor, Eugene Kan. This was a great chance to put a face to a name on someone I’ve only had contact through the internet and also an opportunity to “take things in” as a curious contributor to the EC/PROCESS brands. We spent the afternoon discussing the current state of streetwear and the global economy’s effect on all of us as consumers. Eugene also agreed to this exclusive interview with me based on our conversations of that day.
Despite it being Memorial Day Weekend, the scene at our studio was bustling with life on Saturday. EC resident photographer, Jorge Menes, was working on set for client, Megan Huntz Dresses. Jorge has worked with Megan on her lookbooks since the beginning of her line several years back. The shots always take my breath away, and I have no doubt that they’ll do the same this time around.
Keep an eye out for a post from Jorge in the coming weeks as he turns the imagery from this weekend into finished lookbook-worthy shots. If we’re lucky, he’ll walk us through the “process”.
Welcome to East Point! We’ve recently moved our studio space (again) to the origins of the world-famous Outkast. Despite the props from everyone as a result of our recent Vimby.com studio tour and interview, the time felt right for the move. We haven’t completely finished unpacking, but we wanted to show off the new spot that we’ve already dubbed, The Treehouse, due to it’s intentionally unfinished interior.
Our feature on Vimby.com just went live! Thanks to Chandler K. for spending the day with us and producing this great piece. Don’t forget to give us a rating!
Let me start off by saying “Thank You” to everyone who came out to any (or all) of our PROCESS Launch Circuit events last Friday night. We can’t begin to describe how loved we feel based on everyone’s continued support. I’ll post pictures from the night as they arrive from our photographers.
I spent a majority of the final week of production tying up loose ends, getting inventory set up for the online store (which is LIVE at wearetheprocess.com), and camping out at our downtown ATL studio. The picture above is a birds-eye view of the coffee table next to the studio couch that I lived on last week. As you can see, I stayed hydrated, caffeinated, entertained, and very busy at the same time… was it worth it? Would I do it all over again? Yes and yes.
Our downtown Atlanta studio was bustling this morning, as everyone on team EC was finally in one place to meet and discuss the launch of our PROCESS line and our studio goals for 2009. It feels good to shed that holiday weight and get back to work.
European-based clothing designer and friend of EC, Megan Huntz, stopped by the studio friday for some help with updates to her website. We incorporated some beautiful shots of girls wearing Megan’s handmade dresses taken by EC’s Jorge Menes in Barcelona, Spain this past summer. Megan just wrapped-up with a special holiday clothing sale at Atlanta’s Center for Design Study and is prepping for continued work on her dress line in 2009. Her items are carried in multiple boutiques in Italy and Spain, check her website for more information and store names. Being in the holiday spirit, Megan left sporting an I Bike ATL shirt courtesy of yours truly.
While she was here, I asked Megan if she had any ideas for a conceptual sweatshirt for me. Something I could ride a bike in. I have some ideas and am ready to create. Now just to find someone with a sewing machine state-side…
We recently took on a small identity/merch project for NY-based singer/songwriter Will McCranie. This afternoon, we received proofs of a simple one-color graphic tee design based on an illustration by Georgios. It’s nice to get back to our roots every once in awhile and have some fun with limited-run pieces that have heart and soul.
Today, we re-appropriated The Wall to review some logos that Georgios and I have been jamming on for the past few days. Thanks to everyone who has sent in funny, inspiring, and seizure-causing animated GIFs via The Wall. This project has been so fun for us over the past couple months and we’d love you keep it alive by emailing your images to 799priegaizb@tumblr.com.
This weekend, the Viva Studio crew came by our new studio for another screen-printing party. All kinds of materials came out of the woodwork as we were asked to print on blank tees, bags, and even a blazer. Check out the photoset by Josh Tuminella after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
Thanks to the Nite Ratz DJ crew (Cristo Disco, Prince Presto, & Slugger) for coming to our side of town the other day to sit for our friend Joe Martinez. Joe is in his final quarter at Portfolio Center, and is one of the finer portrait photographers I’ve seen around. I’ll post the final images when Joe drops them by our studio. I’m sure his work will easily put my digital camera shots to shame.
We moved into a new studio in downtown Atlanta today. The new place is right in the heart of the city and we couldn’t be happier. We’re sharing the space with Ted Ullrich who we’ve been working with all summer long. We figured we’d go ahead make it an official partnership. The space has plenty of room for photo shoots, upstairs and downstairs work stations, our screen-printing set up, a kitchen, a bathroom, and we’re even planning on hanging Medusa Armada from the ceiling by the spiral staircase. We’re going to have to come up with a nickname for our new work space. Any ideas?
I’ll post another update as we get the place up to snuff.
