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 Process Fantasy 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

Ok, enough… on to the photos! Read the rest of this entry »

One of our favorite ATL-based artists, GREG.MIKE, recently sat down with Oh Snap Kid and spoke openly about his Popstars & Cokeheads art collection.

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.

Check it out after the jump.

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”.

Check out a few more behind-the-scenes photos by yours truly after the jump.

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.

We’ve been jamming on ideas for the past 2 weeks for the beginning of Phase II of Project Fourt at Coca-Cola. We’ve got a huge presentation to get together for Monday morning, so we’re working through the weekend to make sure it rocks…and you know it will. We’re expecting to be installing our ideas at Coke HQ through the end of the month. Stay tuned…

Also, we’ve lowered the prices on almost everything in the Epidemik Coalition Online Store so pick up some late summer/early fall styles for cheap.

you’ll run into tons of familiar faces at The Center for Design Study. Wade Thompson teaches a number of Portfolio Center classes over here, Rick and Brice have client meetings, and others are just rolling through to check out snap photos of the building. This past Saturday, Jorge Menes had his camera up here and we decided to take an impromptu picture of everyone in the house.

Pictured above (from left to right): Jorge Menes, Evan McHugh, Roy Keely, Georgios Saliaris, Megan Huntz, Wade Thompson, Joe Martinez, Ross Martin, Brice Beasley, Jared Dalcourt, Larry Luk, Lacey Murrah. For a larger view, click the picture above, or click here

Yea, I have to stare at Georgios’ mug all damn day. More pics of the new space coming in the next few days. We’ve got Jorge Menes out here documenting the process of The Center for Design Study’s first few months in return for a logo…speaking of which, I’ll have Jorge’s logo comps to show early next week. Have a great weekend everyone.

Here’s a teaser of EC moving into the new studio over at The Center for Design Study. Thanks to Brice Beasley for helping to document our moving day. The building is amazing and has tons of character. You can see more shots of The Center for Design Study by clicking the image above, or by clicking here.

Stay tuned…lots of new project features are on the way.

For the time being, check out my student portfolio at LarryLukDesign.com.

Georgios and I have completed our portfolios and we have the opportunity to take EC to the next level. We’re moving EC operations to a new studio to help out Rick Anwyl (former owner of EAI) at the Center for Design Studies. This is going to be an amazing opportunity to learn more about branding, identity work, and to grow as designers under his wing. More updates coming real soon. Keep it locked…

We’re going to miss our old studio at Portfolio Center and we want to give big-ups to Hank Richardson, Tania Rochelle, Melissa Kuperminc, and the rest of the staff who’ve shown nothing but overwhelming support for the past 2 years.

Noah Levens and Yuri Majic are taking over the old digs and we wish them the best as they work on their portfolios (and everyone else’s silk-screening projects).
