StreetWear Today - issue 4, 2006

issue 1, 2007 is on it´s way!

Untitled IV
Biggest book so far, the yellow pages of street culture. The cover was designed by Answer's Will Bankhead with silver print and embossed logos. Loads of artwork, photography and rants inside. Different opinions on street culture, some personal takes on friendship, influences and the current status of street wear - and a great one about "screenwear".
Untitled V
This one a LP-sized poster-set, including posters and prints, and an accompanying booklet. Alltogether you will find 11 artists featured in this publication. Each one with a poster or a print of his or her artwork. The booklet will show more of the artwork and interviews or articles.
Artists: aNYthing, Marok (Lodown), Parra, PAM and others..
Untitled III
Same, same - but different. Publication No. 3. This one of four covers is designed by A Bearded Man. The creative heads, Kai and Sunny, behind this face mullet-design kept on doing sarcastic comments on street wear. Basically, that's it where it all started with skateboard designs in the 90ies, and FreshJive, fuct, and Stüssy. Now, rumors said, A Bearded Man had severe problems with copyright infringements. But what for?
Untitled III
This is also the "untitled" III book. Same content, differnt cover artwork. This one is done by The Art Dump, responsible for the fine designs of Girl Skateboards, Chocolate Skateboards, Lakai Limited Footwear and Fourstar Clothing, amongst others. All participating artists, dwelling in The Art Dump, have own sections within the book. Incredible array of creative talents.
Untitled III
The second publication for a the third exhibition. It was released with four different covers. This specific one here is a superb take on Pink Floyd's Cover Design for their Dark Side Of The Moon- album. It's Mark Ward's favourite band, and with his body of work, including Gimme 5, Stüssy, and Footpatrol, he should be on your favourite designers-list.
