Here are some photos from the past month showcasing the murals we did for the Standard Lenox Square store interior. It’s interesting to look back at the store without all the grass, racks, and clothes. There are some different photos over on their blog as well.

Check out the photos after the jump.

This might be the only reason to wake up early on Black Friday. Sneakerhead extraordinaire, DJ Clark Kent, collaborated with Nike on this Air Force 1 sneaker that comes out this Friday.

“So I went to the fabric library, picked the prime suspects and went to work on the design,” said Clark Kent. “The end result…Something Black, Luxurious & Fly, and FRESH!!!! What better way to start the holiday shopping season?!?!”

Now I understand that you can’t tell what they look like from the teaser photo above, but word on the street is that they’re the best-looking pair to drop this year. We’ll see…

If you happen to be near 21 Mercer in NYC, Concepts in Boston, or Shoe Gallery in Miami, you’ll have a chance to grab a pair. Apparently the launch will begin at 4am at the 21 Mercer store. Clark will then travel to Boston and deliver the 10am launch at Concepts. He will then fly to Miami for the 8pm delivery at Shoe Gallery. What a day! I hope he packs his “day-after-Thanksgiving” sandwiches.

No word on an Atlanta release just yet, but let’s keep our fingers-crossed.

One of my high school buddies, Logan, has been living in Chicago and playing drums in a funk band called Crystal Gravy for the past few years. Recently, we got together for a beer and identified the need for his band to utilize the merch table to generate funds. I quickly explained to him the power of branding and that his band needed an identity.

We decided the band’s logo needed to be fun and it needed to have the potential to sell a helluva-lot-of tee shirts. I’ve been jamming on logos for “Chicago’s Greasiest Funk Band” during my free time, bouncing ideas off Logan, and the above image is one of our favorite iterations so far. Crystal Gravy’s fans will be able to purchase stickers, tees, and albums with a tightened-up version of this mark very soon.

As a result of our recent design conversations, Logan mentioned that track #3 on their new album is going to be called Brown Gravy, Blue Diamond. Awesome.

The cat’s out of the bag! The hush-hush project we’ve been working on for the past month is revealed. We’ve been helping Standard get their store ready for their big opening which is today. EC was enlisted to hand-paint their wall murals (inspired by Lichtenstein) on the store’s interior and we’ve also spent time helping with odds and ends to get the store up and running. This is one of my favorite projects we’ve done this past year and definitely another great 3D space to add to the portfolio. Thanks to the Standard family for choosing EC for their top-notch project.

Last night Standard Lenox Square had a special store preview for friends and family. Check out those photos after the jump. Oh, and we’ll post some “making of” photos in the next few days. For now, let’s enjoy the finished product…

A newly formed group at Georgia Tech recently reached out to us for some design help. We provided them with an identity and a fresh website overhaul.

The Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology is comprised of over 30 faculty and student members who are reinventing the way we compose, perform, and listen to music. You may recognize one of the projects emerging from this center is ZooZ Mobile.

We are excited to see what the future holds for GTCMT!

A package arrived today from Lancashire, UK. Trickett from tbirds.co.uk had contacted us the day-after we posted the I Bike ATL shirt on the EC blog, asking to set-up a trade of sorts: one of these shirts in trade for one of his hand-illustrated shirts. As designer of the shirt, I obliged and so ensued a race of the postal systems!

As far as I know, T Birds is run by this chap and has a similar fetishization of t-shirts as EC. It’s always nice to make friends doing similar things, even when they are across the world! Checkout Trickett’s blog post of his receipt of my shirt.

If you have been keeping up with the blog, you may have seen this lil illustration about a month ago. I created this snowman for the Museum of Design Atlanta Holiday cards. I just got a few in the mail the other day. So some of you may be getting a card for the holidays and that’s about it. Sorry, there is a recession going on. If you too are feeling a strain on your wallet, you should just send a few these cards instead of buying some gift card that may not be valid come Christmas. There are many great designs from local artists to choose from. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

Check out all of the holiday cards here.

I recently posted a preview of the new Nike Store at Lenox Square and had a chance to be one of the first people to create some sneakers in their Nike iD Studio. This morning, I was totally surprised to get a phone call telling me my shoes had arrived (a little over 2 weeks later, that’s fast!). I went for a clean/basic look and as it turns out, my new Dunks match my new Atlanta Hawks fitted that I picked up at Philips Arena a week ago. Speaking of Philips Arena… does anyone want to go to AC/DC on December 16th?

I wanted to share some photos we took while printing the Process x Sopobikes Tee that we’ll be releasing at El Bar on Thursday Night. Check out all the screen-printing fun after the jump.

Zooz Mobile is one of the latest identity projects that we just completed. Zooz develops apps for iPhones and other cellular phones. If you have an iPhone, check em out. They have 2 apps available, ZoozBeat and ZoozControl. ZooZBeat is a gesture-based mobile musical studio, simple enough for non-musicians to immediately become musically expressive but rich enough for experienced musicians to push the envelope of mobile music creation. ZoozControl turns your iPhone and iPod touch into a game controller that senses your movements and uses the touch screen as buttons. Makes me wish I had an iPhone.

Thanks to everyone who came out for our PROCESS x ThoughtMarker event last month. We gave away those ATL tees for FREE! Come out this time and support a great local organization, Sopobikes, by purchasing one of these special tees illustrated by your boy, Georgios Saliaris. Yes, we made girls and guys tees in all sizes! They’ll be $15 the night of the event. No need to bring cash out. You can add them to your bar tab!

I love helping local friends/family with small projects on a regular basis. It’s my way of constantly contributing to the greater good of our ATL-family. Yesterday I helped Standard with their window display for one of the my favorite lines, Benny Gold. Seriously, Benny Gold is hands-down the best designer in streetwear. I’m a huge fan, and his work influences my own. I think everyone out there could take a tip from Benny’s classic and timeless designs. Naturally, when Dan and Farshad at Standard hit me up about window displays, I jumped at the chance to help out. See more photos on the Standard blog.

While I’m on the topic of positive work… remember that special project we were hinting at a couple weeks ago? Answers coming soon. Stay tuned…

I Bike ATL tees by Ted Ullrich are now available in the EC Online Store. This is a limited run, so make sure you get yours before they are gone. Speaking of bikes… we have a few more fun collaborations up our sleeves in the coming weeks. Stay Tuned.

As Ted mentioned before, we have been working on quite a few different branding projects for the past weeks. Here is a piece from one of the latest projects that we are wrapping up. Future Digital LLC is a boutique digital capture company in New York that works with well-established names in the fashion photography industry including Alexi Lubomirski to create some of the best looks. They came to us looking for a complete package, including an identity, paper goods, stickers, business cards, DVDs, and Laser cut stencils for their gear. The business cards just came in the other day. Checkout more pictures after the jump.

We have been wrapping up quite a few branding and website projects at the EC studio this month. As final tweaks roll-out the door, keep an eye out for some images and additions to the portfolio, including some exciting work for: Future Digital, LLC (NYC), Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology (Atlanta), ZooZ Mobile (Atlanta), MeanRed Productions (NYC) among others.

What has been common throughout all the projects is the open collaborations between the talent at EC.

You get this card after your Nike iD session. See my creation after the jump.

I just got home from a tour at the new Nike Store at Lenox here in Atlanta that opens tomorrow [10.30.08]. I think that most ATLiens that love hands-on design are going to respond positively to the NikeiD and T Bar offerings that make this store very worthwhile. See everything after the jump.

Here’s a teaser our special project this week. Can you guess what we’re up to? There are clues everywhere! The wildest/funniest/most-interesting answer will win a PROCESS tee sent straight to you!

The formula was simple: A t-shirt design I wanted to put to good use combined with some willing participants at the Atlanta Bicycle Campaign (ABC) resulted in the printing of this shirt in black and yellow color-ways. I gave away ten shirts to my closest bike-minded friends, but if you would like one of your own, contact the ABC or one of the .

Update: T-shirts in yellow and black with the ABC name (mens and ladies) are available from the ABC, just contact them here!

T-shirts in black only without the ABC name (mens and ladies) will be available starting this week from the EC online store.

Friday night at 7pm marked the start of LE FLASH in Castleberry Hill. Although some light precipitation moved into the city, attendance was considerably high. During my time attending LE FLASH, I grabbed some photos of people interacting with the installation of THE WALL from both inside and street-side of Art House Gallery. The external experience of THE WALL is the ultimate use of the concept, as it is from the vantage point of the sidewalk that it becomes a public community billboard. THE WALL had its night of glory, and from the looks of the image archive, got quite a bit of use. It’s great to see this idea come to life!

Some other interesting installations and street performances can be seen after the jump. Thanks again to Steve and Shane at Art House Co-op for being hosts to THE WALL for the night. If anyone would like to be hosts of your own version of THE WALL, let us know!

A revised version of my technology mash-up project called THE WALL will be installed at Art House Gallery @ 309 Peters Street this Friday October 24, 2008. It is part of a nighttime event called LE FLASH, a night of light taking place in Castleberry Hill consisting of over 30 installations, street performances, and exhibitions using electricity, light, and sound. It promises to be a sight for the eyes.

THE WALL is more than an electronic billboard, it is a social tool. It combines multiple existing technologies to put the power of large-scale public imagery into the hands of the local community. With it, a neighborhood can instantly share user-defined content with each other in order to communicate, inspire, and build a sense of community.

Email a photo from phone or computer to [email protected] Your photo will appear on THE WALL within 20 seconds
