Greenroom Festival 2011 Bump In

Back again for Greenroom Festival, Yokohama, Japan. Third time we've been involved and great to get over here and spread the love and support our Japanese pals. Couple of more posts to come.

Colour by numbers

Bodhi arrived in Japan a little damaged after the flight, but with a little TLC we fixed him up good

Remain In Balance @ Beams T

Monday night 16th of May, TCSS crew hung Steven Harrington's show and TCSS wall at Beams T, Harajuku, JP!!!!

We plugged away at it until the early hours of the morning, as everything takes that little bit extra time in Japan (translation n' what not) but sooooo well worth it! Big thanks to Beams T staff, Masahiro, Tamio and not to forget Steven Harrington. Proceeds from the show will be donated to Tsunami victims, via the Red Cross. The show is up until 6 June.

And now onto Greenroom....

Jam and T-shirts packed for Japan

Not far away till we board the big iron seagull and make our way over to Japan. TCSS has plenty going on over there in the coming weeks.

First up is Steven Harrington's show at Beams T from 17 May, Jim's been in Bali working on some exclusive TCSS T-Shirts for the show. All proceeds will go to the Japanese Red Cross.

Artifacts

Steven Harrington is showing a collection of new prints at the Surface To Air flagship shop in Paris this week in collab with Gesa Hansen... when 2 talents collide.

Steven Harrington #140

.... Alaia #140 was the most technical of the whole project.

We asked National Forest artist Steven Harrington
to come up with a design for this board
- Steven's sketches & concepts below:

we then took Steven's design to Image Plastics
out in the wild west 'burbs of Padstow, where Bert
got it ready to meet their new laser burner

the new burner can work on art up to 2 metres long
but this was to be its maiden voyage, so I had some
nervous moments as we started her up.....

beautiful!

(who couldn't wait any longer & hopped an early plane to Tokyo in case I asked for more work)

what on earth

Scion Installation L.A. presents: 'It Was On Earth That I Knew Joy' an exhibition that's been pulled together by French t-shirt label, Sixpack.

The Critical Slide Catalogue

The Critical Slide's catalogue is just about to hit the press. Full of new shorts/tees etc. Email us if you'd like a peek! or not - our agents reckon it's a bad idea to show so early so I've been banned from flashing it around......
