Demun Jones has been rocking Epidemik Coalition tees while on tour with Rehab throughout the ReverbNation tour this past Fall/Winter. The tour continues this Saturday (January 12th), with Rehab’s return to the Georgia Theatre in Athens. They’ll be playing songs from their upcoming/unrecorded album for the first time, so you won’t want to miss out. Keep an ear out for my favorite new track, “King of Tweakers”.

Check out more photos of Demun Jones in Epidemik Coalition after the jump.

Here are photos from the final round of installation of Project Fourt for ‘07 at Coca-Cola Headquarters in Atlanta, GA. Thanks to our volunteers for coming out and making installation a breeze. Jamie Hopper, Amy Honeycutt, Ansley Whipple, & Lacey Murrah…we owe you big!

A few months ago, Mike Germon of ThoughtMarker (ATL’s #1 Art Blog) asked us to throw down on a tee project commemorating his first year of documenting Atlanta’s art and design scene on the internet.

This “Thought Bubble” graphic plays on the well known EC Speech Bubble design and also takes on traits of our new crest design. We’re printing it with our brightest inks and tees and it definitely stands out.

Get one FREE with any order through the Epidemik Coalition Online Store while supplies last. We’ve already started sending them out, so consider yourself lucky if you’ve already received yours because they’re going fast.

Other contributors to this limited tee series are MINT Gallery, Steven Dixey, and Metatronic (Mark and James from Beep Beep Gallery).

Our partnership with Garrett Moore continues as he reps EC during his shows in and around Atlanta this Fall/Winter. Visit Jorge Menes’ Flickr for more shots of Garrett rocking our tees during a recent shoot at Smith’s Olde Bar. Also, the new album, Fireseed (designed by Epidemik Coalition), is now available on iTunes.

This past Saturday, we began a second round of installations for Project Fourt @ Coca-Cola. We were at it all day and we accomplished a ton thanks to the help from our volunteers, Witt Langstaff and Amy Honeycutt. We wouldn’t have completed as much as we did without their help! There is still a good bit left to do so if you are still interested in helping us out on a Saturday, send us an email at or get in touch with me or Larry.

Check out more pics from this weekend here.

Here’s a glimpse of our extended cram session from yesterday. We’ve been cranking around the clock for a presentation with some top decision makers at Coca-Cola. You wouldn’t even believe me if I told you who we’re meeting with late this afternoon. Wish us luck!

Once again, we are still accepting volunteers to help us begin installing designs on Saturday, November 17th and beyond. Interested? Email us your availability at .

Stay tuned…on Friday [11/16/07] we’ll be releasing Guajiro, a new tee illustrated by Georgios. You’ll be able to pick it up in the Epidemik Coalition Online Store. Preview photos will be up real soon.

I’m thrilled to say that Project Fourt is ramping back up despite the fact that we’ve lost our whip-cracking, project manager, Megan Huntz, to Treviso, Italy for the time being. I’ve missed the grind and I’m looking forward to the busy week ahead of us over at Epidemik Coalition. Georgios and I will be challenged to step up our organizational skills and to continue to melt brains with our spatial designs. Our team leader, Wade Thompson, will continue to guide our approach with Yoda-like strategy and philosophy.
Currently, we’re tweaking production graphics and getting presentations ready for mid-week. We’ll resume installing our ideas for the Coca-Cola Global Branding department this coming weekend. We’re looking for student volunteers to come over to Coke HQ and lend a hand on Saturday, November 17th and beyond. Interested? Email us your availability at as soon as possible. We guarantee an unforgettable experience.

Long time EC friend, Chris2thatee, rocked some Epidemik Coalition gear during a recent modeling gig in Texas. The photographer on set was James Taylor, The Outlaw Photographer. If you like his work, you should check out his website at OutlawStudios.net.

The wait is almost over! This is the final teaser image for our Medusa II tee that we’ve been planning for several months now. We’re making the final tweaks on the graphic and turning to our friends Andrew & Ed at Danger Press for help with the production end. Like we always do at EC, every printed garment will remain unique in its own way. Believe me, you’re going to fall out when you see the finished piece.

Wow! We had the weirdest weekend ever and we’re kind of glad it’s over. Let’s start the week off with another production shot from last Saturday’s Medusa II shoot. We’re looking at Jorge Menes working his underwater camera rig as Carla Gunter poses. Click here to see a larger image.

I apologize for the lack of updates (we’ve been really busy), but here’s a juicy one. Last weekend, Jorge Menes captured some great images for us to use on our “Medusa II” tee. Here’s a sneak peek/extreme close-up of our favorite shot. Thanks to Carla Gunter for doing a great job of modeling underwater. I know it’s not easy, according to America’s Next Top Model. Stay tuned for more “Medusa II” updates…

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.

Alright, here are some photos from the reception for the completion of Phase 1 of Project Fourt over at Coca-Cola last Thursday evening. Everyone over in global branding has been super nice to us and they’ve shown genuine appreciation for our efforts in inspiring greatness in their workplace.

Click on the photo of me, Wade, Megan, & Georgios to get to all of Jorge Menes’ Photos of Project Fourt.

Here’s a refresher for those who aren’t sure what Project Fourt is about:
Coke felt like their new global brand department needed a breath of fresh air. They wanted us to put some life back into their surroundings, so we are responsible for redesigning their conference rooms and other environments. Each conference room has a different theme.

The name of the Project is Fourt. The four of us, brought together under unique circumstances, given an outlet to express our unbounded creativity. This project has become our fort, or the temporary shelter that we’re playing in at the moment. We don’t expect it to last, we celebrate the fact that it’s fleeting.

With only a day left in Phase 1 of the project, we completed the final room, Atlantis, or better known as “Atlantis Station, Y’all.” We have many more pics but we want to keep ‘em under wraps until after the unveiling this Thursday evening at Coke HQ. But since we are nice guys, here’s another lil teaser. Notice something familiar?

This EC icon is getting a makeover. Georgios and I took a trip to the Georgia Aquarium to take live action stills of jellyfish for our upcoming “Medusa II” tee. Here’s a tight crop of a photo we took while hogging the real estate in front of the jellyfish tank. We stood there taking pictures for over 45 minutes, annoying the tourists to no end…but they deserved it for bringing their snotty, crying children. So, I’m not sorry. [Just kidding, I’m not a baby hater…]

We’ll be recruiting models, experimenting with dyes, and shooting with Jorge Menes, whom you should know by now as EC’s go-to guy.

For hints of what the tee may end up looking like, refer to our tee, Angelica II. I’m sure it’ll be much different from what we’re expecting now when the project is finally done.

I’ll be updating the EC blog with everything we do concerning the making of this new tee, Medusa II. So stop by soon!

Here’s a lil sneak peek of one of the projects EC is currently working on in collaboration with Wade Thompson of Iconologic and Megan Huntz, Italian denim guru. Wade approached us about helping him out with the responsibility of bringing life and energy back into the Coke brand department. He also brought in Megan, an awesome fashion designer and blob creator, to assist in the design.

Coke felt like their new global brand department needed a breath of fresh air. They wanted us to put some life back into their surroundings, so we are responsible for redesigning their conference rooms and other environments. Each conference room has a different theme. This picture is of the Muhammad Ali conference room that Larry and I designed. How many people can say that they have tagged the inside of Coke HQ?

Keep a look out for the jelly. You know we had to sneak it in somehow.

Keep a look out for more updates.

You can still score our limited edition “ATL Kicks” tee over at Octane for $10. What a deal.

Brooklyn’s own, created this killer hour of beats exclusively for the Epidemik Coalition crew. Calling it“cake mix this style”, Quantuum 7thousand uses his sense of humor to give big-ups to his homeboys from Brooklyn to ATL. When he’s not cracking jokes, he’s making us want to “leave our 9 to 5’s on the shelf” and shotgun a few Blue Ribbons. Cuts include refrains from Yo Majesty, MJ, LCD Soundsystem, Biggie, and countless other club burners.
