… my brand new cassette tape holders:

Just kidding. The picture above is of yesterday’s work, a new variation on my denim wallets. The design is the same, but each of these wallets was made from pieces of vintage neckties and scraps from a pair of Sugarcane’s Okinawa jeans.
I’ve found that stuffing the wallets with cassette [...]

iPhone case made from Nudie brand underwear
Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

By now you’ve probably already seen me mention my iPhone cases a few times on this site and on my Etsy page, but I made a new one this weekend that I thought was worth a special mention. My friend Kiya recently purchased 4 pairs of Nudie underwear and gave me the awesome little bags [...]

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

These are some pics of my new custom shirt from Al’s Attire in North Beach. The shirt is made of a cool black denim. I decided to try to keep the shirt really simple and sophisticated… but Al did talk me into adding a few things, such as the hidden iPhone pocket on the inside [...]

iPop
Monday, September 17th, 2007

Last night I made a prototype for a new addition to my Doc Pop craft line. It’s a wallet made for my iPhone out of tailored scraps of raw denim. The denim comes from a pair of black Imperials that matches my newest pair (did I mention I bought a pair of Imperial Kings?).
It’s based [...]

Labor Day
Monday, September 3rd, 2007

Yesterday was keen. I had a custom order from my friend Isaac who works at 826 Valencia. On the weekends he works security at Zeitgiest, so I met up with a bunch of friends and dropped it off there. Isaac is an awesome dude, so I added the hidden embroidery as a surprise.
