“Angelica” has been a mainstay of Epidemik Coalition from the very beginning so we figured there was no reason to leave her out when creating our new line, PROCESS. Tonight we got together with some of our favorite collaborators on the “Angelica” graphic for the line.
Ross Martin worked the photo magic, Marie Hanson did hairstyle concept & make-up, and our new friend Jessica Nash modeled. We’ve reinterpreted a lot of the Epidemik Coalition brand for the new line and the “Angelica” is the last on the list of things to complete.
For all you process lovers, here’s a production video of our laser-cut, acrylic jellyfish for our installation in Pop Art at Halo, taking place at Halo Lounge on May 29th. We’ve been working with Ted Ullrich who has been making the concept structurally sound.
Jessica reminds me a lot of how Georgios and I went about our careers at Portfolio Center. She takes on as much as she can to gain valuable experiences. This past week, she took on freelance gigs, participated in two workshops, heard two speakers, made a paper dress for the MA 08 Launch Party, did homework for school, and helped us keep our operation afloat. She’ll be with us all summer with our weekly scheduling & concepting our apparel lookbook. Knowing her, she’ll probably take on more than that. Welcome Jessica!

In other news, keep an eye out for music related updates coming from our boy, Yuri Majic (resident music curator), really soon.
We worked with Hano Leathers of Attica Style & Rehab on this concept for one of Florida’s best homegrown skate shops, Blacktop Skate Shop in Winter Park, Florida.
This past weekend, Belgium-based fashion illustrator, Jarno Kettunen, came by our studio to borrow spraypaint for his gig at the MA Design & Fashion Show and snagged my copy of this tee and proceeded to rock it all weekend. Jarno, you owe me one, so drop in on Black Top Skate Shop and pay it forward, bro.
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.

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.
“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…
If you hang out on Ponce de Leon Avenue in Atlanta after dark, you’ve probably run into Jordan Gunter more than once. With a penchant for speed metal, vodka diets, and eating veggies his familiar face can be found at the Local, Righteous Room, and the Majestic when he’s not at a show. Having just graduated from Portfolio Center, his hard/soft lifestyle reflects itself in his body of work. His environmentally friendly style combines it self with the crusty aesthetic of a punker. Send kudos or hate mail to Jordan at
If you’ve been to Octane Coffee lately, you’ve probably noticed the new wall graphic. How could you not? It’s Black Slabbath, the heaviest typeface in the world. There’s only one thing about this new typeface that isn’t colossally black: the razor-thin white space. It slices through and between geometric characters, creating a juxtaposition of contrasts and rhythms. It was designed by our buddy and creative director of Armchair Media, Stefan Kjartansson and is available for purchase at YouWorkForThem.
Here’s a video of Mick Bailey installing the wall graphic at Octane.
We’re going to hold a small design contest as incentive for you to purchase the typeface from YouWorkForThem. It goes like this: We’ll print a tee for the first person to send us a completed design (2 colors or less) using Black Slabbath. We’ll also print a few extra tees for ourselves and some close friends, but you’ll get all the bragging rights! Email your final graphics to . Let’s do this!
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!
We’re inviting friends and family in Atlanta to come to our studio tonight [12.7.07] between 6 — 10pm to check out Medusa II in person. For directions, email .

Medusa II will finally be for sale at 12 noon EST on Friday, December 7th in our studio at The Center for Design Study and in the Epidemik Coalition Online Store. In addition to unveiling the final Medusa II graphic, we’re releasing final production photos right here at EpidemikCoalition.com on Friday.

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.
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.
