Cristo Disco, avid supporter of our brand, plays Thursday and Friday nights at El Bar. Go out and see him, just don’t request “Empire State of Mind” because he won’t play it.
The dude that brings the good word, Decatur Dan, will be releasing his new tee very soon. It’ll be for sale, so those of you that’ve never had the chance to score one, now is your time. Release date, coming soon…
Here’s a peek at something special we created in conjunction with our favorite supporters over the past year. Our first year has flown by and we’ve gotten to work with some amazing people. Thanks guys!
I’m particularly excited about this tee as it marks the first intensely-rendered, type-based graphic we’ve done for the PROCESS line. These tees will be available for one night only at our 1st Anniversary Throwdown at Graveyard Tavern. Peep the flyer after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

The Champion of our Fantasy Football League, Alan Woodruff, sent me this photo of himself and our beloved trophy. The subject line: “Only 6 more months…”
Not cool bro.
The usual suspects (Dax, Zach Wolfe, and Sumner) are at it again with another Big Boi video that’s destined for virality. Nice work again boys!

Our crew’s favorite Dubstep DJ, Mayhem, puts his unique twist on 8Ball & MJG’s track, Ten Toes Down. I love listening to his live sets, because he always finds a great way to incorporate some Dirty South flavor into them; as you can tell from this remix.

Today, Ross and I played a friendly match of soccer (football) on PS3. Netherlands v. Hamburger SV on FIFA 10. After this spin move, Ross decided he didn’t want to play against me for the rest of the afternoon. I love being able to take an afternoon off to grab lunch with a good friend and kick his butt at some FIFA.
Kanye West posted the Cyhi Da Prynce - Studda & I’m 100 video on his blog today… a little behind the curve this time, Kanye! ATL is strong. Start paying attention, sir.
…on American Idol! For a brief moment this week, we caught a glimpse of our boy, Joe Martinez, from the “our contestants come from a wide range of backgrounds” montage on American Idol. Joe says, ”I’m a photographer”. And a damn good one too!
Unfortunately, we won’t be seeing him go on in the competition, but it was somewhat gratifying to see a glimpse of Mr. Martinez; especially since we waited in countless lines all summer long last year.

Deftones - The Acoustic Experiment by Eric Dewyngaert
Some of you know that I’ve been teaching a class at Portfolio Center over the past few months. This has been a new experience for me, as I’ve never taught before and it was only a few years ago that I was a student at PC. In my time away from the academic world, I started to miss it. Not only is teaching a chance to “drop-knowledge”, but I find it invigorating and refreshing. Perhaps I’m a huge design geek, but I enjoy talking about design with people who aren’t jaded with the industry. Rather, they are eager to excel at visual communication.
The name of the class is Entertainment Design (a broad name for “The Album Cover Class”). We focus on concept, branding, and typography for artists in the music industry; with the deliverables being album covers, packaging, posters, and various other marketing items. In the 1.5 quarters I’ve taught so far, we’ve had a live project for a major label artist and several guest presentations from my friends who work in the design industry.
I’m putting myself in the mindset of a student (which isn’t hard considering I used to go to school there) and trying to make this class-scenario a “dream class” for anyone with an open mind. If my homework assignments consisted of listening to music, going to the record store, and sketching (sober of course), I would have been more than happy to go above and beyond the call.
I don’t have many examples of student work coming out of my class because most students choose to photograph their packaging towards the end of their student careers. I was able to get one of my students (and new EC web-intern), Eric Dewyngaert, to send me a photo of his album packaging. It’s a new approach to The Deftones, titled “The Acoustic Experiment”. He asked himself, “What would happen if one of the hardest bands out there created an acoustic album?” He was able to track down live-acoustic performances of some of their most popular songs which were sonically peculiar and very intense. As you can see, Eric’s visual-reveal is what I envision being the result of many long recording sessions. Very cool.
Given that the name of the class is Entertainment Design, we may shift our focus in coming quarters to film and other performance arts, although I have a feeling that most of my students get a kick out of discovering new bands and listening to music as homework.
Also, there’s always an open invite to my buddies who want to drop in and give honest feedback! C’mon down…

One of our biggest pet peeves is being approached by people who say, “Hey, I really like Process so you should give me a bunch of gear to wear on stage during my shows” or “Hey, that’s really cool stuff, hook it up on the low-low”. There’s nothing more moochy, or irritating about a situation like that. The fact that a person thinks they are so wonderful, that they deserve the fruits of our labor for their own personal gain is beyond me. It’s disrespectful on all accounts. I realize, that’s the way things go sometimes. We’ve been in countless conversations like this over the years, and we’ve gotten pretty good at handling them…
On the flipside of that coin, if you have the privilege to meet Philip Christensen (General Manager / Partner at Graveyard Tavern) you’ll soon realize that Philip is nothing like the bro described above. Philip has been super-supportive of our brand, and you can tell because he wears our gear out and about all the time. Also, he mentioned Process as one of his favorite brands in his Blu Magazine feature.
His staff has always taken care of our crew every time we’ve come through their doors out of sheer kindness. That makes us want to work with them to further each others’ success. It’s great to know there are honest people out there who genuinely care about the well-being of others that work hard, the same way they do. Thanks Philip! Keep up the great work and we’ll plan on some big things for 2010.
I think this little rant of mine should spark a regularly occurring section on our site. I’ll highlight people that deserve a Shout Out. How often will this occur? As often as people are “doing the right thing”.
Jared takes a Larry Bomb!
Last night, I had the privilege to be a guest-bartender at D.B.A. Barbecue in the Virginia Highlands. This was the first time I’ve ever been on the other side of the bar, and it was quite an experience. I think I held my own, but you’ll have to ask my friends how I really did.
The drink highlights for me were:
-Larry Bomb (Crown Royal dropped into Red Bull)
-Whynatte Bombs (Jager dropped into Whynatte)
-A crazy Habañero-infused Moonshine + Strawberry liquor concoction
Thanks to Matt Coggin at D.B.A. for letting me in on some fun, and thanks to everyone who came out!
Before the NBA season began, I had a brief encounter with Jamal Crawford at Atlantic Station:
Me: “Jamal!”
JC: “What’s up?”
Me: “I drafted you to my fantasy team yesterday”
JC: “You won’t be disappointed…”
Me: “Thanks bro, have a good season!”
Little did I know, that he’d completely exceed any expectations mentioned that day! WOW!
I love Harry the Hawk at 1:13!
Check out the guy at 1:40 with the Process x Estate LA Chief Nokahoma Fitted!!!

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, . 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 »
