Check out this crazy pic I caught of Dax being rowdy in front of his mural at El Bar. And when you’re done with that, head over to his newly redesigned blog, SnortThis.com.

All weekend long, folks have been updating their twitter statuses letting us know they’ve picked up their LA x ATL fitted. We’re both flattered and encouraged by the support in our hometown! Thanks Tweeps! Thanks so much for making this release a success. We’re going to give that love back by releasing more heat in the future. Stay tuned… you won’t want to miss out.

I’m not sure when I’ll get another chance to jam on chicken wings this good, so I had to take a pic. This past weekend, Rosa allowed Sumner and a few others to try some of these legendary wings that only a hand full of guys have ever eaten. Apparently, Lan Ngo only makes these wings for Girls Night Out or Girls Night In and if you’re a dude, then you’re usually not welcome.

Ted’s headed back to Borneo to continue the work from when he went overseas earlier this year and the complimentary Estate LA 5-Panel cap that he’s wearing in this photo is going with him. It’s pretty cool to realize that in a matter of 5 days, that cap will have traveled from Los Angeles > Atlanta > Brooklyn > Borneo.

I just went by Standard on Peachtree to see how things were going and I caught @RyanAcker pushing their last two PROCESS x Estate LA caps on the phone, drinking a Whynatte, and wearing a Streetlocal tee. I had to snap a pic. Good things happen when you keep it local. Everything in this pic was created right here in the good ole U.S.A.

Here’s a cool pic of our latest collaboration with Estate LA which is on sale now. The Estate crew has the caps behind a glass case, next to what appears to be a signed pair of Zoom Kobe IV’s. Fresh!

We woke up this morning to an overwhelming amount of online orders and I even saw a few people picking theirs up at Standard today. We only have 50 caps in Atlanta and 50 caps in Los Angeles. Make sure you grab yours before they’re gone.

Visit the PROCESS Online Boutique and get FREE SHIPPING (Domestic) for the month of June. You can’t beat that guys!

What up world? This is Joe, filling in for Ross for this week’s Photo Friday. I came across this article a while back analyzing a photograph taken by Madonna’s publicity team as she goes through the process of adopting yet another Malawian baby. In a bid to make her attempted adoption look more romanticized, Madonna has created a bit of propaganda with the above photo. Martin Parr explains the motives behind converting the photo to sepia after the jump:

So Chris decided to get his first tattoo the other day at Liberty Tattoo. He showed up to Gather Atlanta sporting a pair of Tommies on his arm. Larry and I had nothing to do with this. It’s not like we make our interns get branded or something. Chris just likes the Braves.

A lil’ slice of Americana right here.

Last weekend, Georgios and Cory decided to get everyone together for a Guerilla B.B.Q. (basically a grill-out that’s planned on the fly). After securing all the gear from friends (I provided a propane tank and grill brush) we were ready to rock. We were lucky to have some great buddies come through, including Myk from DMN in Charlotte.

Check out some photos taken by Denys Meak after the jump.

We’ve teamed up with Estate LA again to produce this fitted hat for our PROCESS line. It’s a merging of West & East coasts by locking-up the “L” from the LA Dodgers and the “A” from the Atlanta Braves. The cap will come in 2 different colorways: Purple & Gold (Lakers) and Red & Black (Falcons).

It’ll be for sale on Friday June 12th at the Estate LA store in Venice, Standard in Atlanta, and wearetheprocess.com. As an added bonus, we’ll be including a complimentary USB wristband with every hat sold containing MP3s “Goin’ Back to Cali” by Demun Jones and a secret track with 8 Ball of 8 Ball & MJG.

Also, on the 12th, the PROCESS website will be getting a makeover… stay tuned.

The EC/PROCESS crew will be participating in Gather Atlanta, an annual networking event which seeks to unite and promote Atlanta’s emerging galleries, alternative art spaces, and young creative collectives (presented by MINT Gallery, BurnAway, WonderRoot, and ThoughtMarker).

The show will be taking place on June 6th from 6 to 9pm at Eyedrum.

By the way, check out the sweet logo designed by our own, Erin Warner. Give it up for our girl!

This week I worked for a very talented product photographer here in town by the name of Greg Slater. Slater specializes in product photography and is one talented dude when it comes to lighting. I mean, look at how interesting he can make a cup of coffee look! When I was back at Portfolio Center we had a still life class where we had to bring in images from photographers that we liked. I found a really interesting image of a wrench that I wanted to try and copy in my own special way. What I didn’t realize when I picked that image was that it was from Greg and that he was based here in Atlanta. Needless to say I was surprised when I checked his website after getting a call for work and realizing that he shot the wrench that I loved so much. Greg is a cool dude and has an amazing eye for lighting. I decided to share with everyone my version of the wrench still life. Its not nearly as good as Greg’s but I will admit it is cool to see the two side by side. If you’re looking for more of Greg’s work you can find more at his website .

On a small non-photo related note, LET’S GO MAGIC!

I don’t normally post videos of the Crank That or Stanky Legg nature, but when our buddy, Yuri, called this to my attention I couldn’t help but laugh. Not only does Atlanta’s EDubb have the funniest hook I’ve heard in awhile, but frontman Nemesis is wearing a PROCESS x Estate LA Chief Nokahoma fitted the whole time! I’ve watching this thing 5 times in a row and I’m really starting to like it…

Emily Dryden recently took this portrait of rapper, Mums FP, at our old stomping ground, Portfolio Center. I’m surprised to see our jellyfish stickers still stuck up everywhere. To sweeten the pot, I’ve posted an unreleased and exclusive track from Mums FP.
