After having worked in the television and film industry for over a decade, I've decided to escape the madness and relaunch myself into the creative world of graphic design. This blog documents snippets of inspiration gathered, projects I'm working on, and miscellaneous musings. It's more of a creativity-inducing personal scrapbook than anything else, but I encourage you to peruse it's pages, and add insight and share interesting tidbits whenever possible, because they are very welcome.

Nike Releases Cheech and Chong Kicks on 420!


I'm not usually a fan of Nike products, being that they're an evil corporation and all (yadda yadda), but I can't resist drooling over these new special edition 420 dunk sneaks, released just in time for the Stoner's Holiday. Todd Bratrud is the creative genius behind these well-coordinated kicks, as well as the skate company the High5. The Cheech and Chong SB features two different sneakers, each incorporating the essence of the characters from their appearance in Up In Smoke - Cheech's trademark red beanie and Chong's characteristic red bandana. They also include tear away canvas that reveals green suede underneath. 


These sneakers are guaranteed to be tough to find in stores today though - they're limited to only 1000, so the best thing to do is to find out where they are selling closest to you via the 420 Forum Thread. Happy trails!
