Online Shop – It’s Alive

bennygold — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 01:50:20 +0000

Everyone keeps asking when I am going to get an online shop on my site. For the past seasons I created extra product for it but ended up offering it to new accounts because I couldn’t get the shop together. Well… now it’s up - finally. Quantities are limited and I am talking to my clients to allow me to offer products I designed in the store also. Check the shop out here. There are also a few New Eras from past seasons on sale as a store opening gift (you will be lucky to find your size - I only have 2 or 3 left of each)

Fall / Winter 08 Drop 1

The first drop of the F/W line is on it’s way to the shops. This season continues to explore the themes of gold, youth, success and achievement and it marks a move away from a screenprinted neck tag. It’s also been 10 years since the last time I made a Stay Gold glider plane t-shirt- I lived in a studio apartment and printed them by hand with a mini screen in my kitchen. The brand has progressed so much since then but I’m still growing, learning, and pushing forward with my designs. This season’s collaboration comes from my friend David Potes of the photo ‘zine Hamburger Eyes. Thanks for lending your hand to the shirt Dave, I love the gold accents in the photograph – Canal St. style!

Thanks for the photos Mike!

NEW SITE UP!

It’s been a long time in the making, but I finally have a NEW SITE. The new site includes my design portfolio, dealer list for the clothing line, selected press and of course the daily blog. The blog will remain the same with sneak peaks of projects that I am working on and all that. Take a look around and let me know what you think.

All The Homies!

I have been talking about this ad for awhile now because I am still blown away from all the support that the SF heads showed for this. The new issue of Transworld Skateboarding Magazine is out. TWS and New Era got together to give me an ad for the Fitteds I designed. I could have done anything, for the ad, but figured it would be great to show what the SF scene is like today. I decided on a classic posse shot with the whole crew. Everyone brought the bikes and boards and we had a fun shoot at the famous Wallenberg 4. Thank you to everyone that came out to make this happen!

New Stickers In!

New stickers are in. Mash and I split a run again, but this time we added a red option. If you want stickers paypal me $5.00 to this e-mail and I will stuff an envelope full for you. Check out the pic I just got in from a friend visiting Japan. Stickers run much longer there then in the states.

Spring / Summer Collection

Everything is out the door and shipped… finally! The line is based on the concept of staying youthful and striving to be the best you can be. The reference to gold symbolizes success and achievement. Stay Gold.

Also, for the first time, I am proud to offer a collaboration design. Andy Jenkins, Art Director of Girl Skateboards, has been kind enough to to lend his hand for shirt design. Everything should be at your local retailer this week!

These hats are finally available. I just dropped a shipment off at the Huf Sutter Street store. They are hitting the shelves first thing Saturday morning! They also have a small run of matching shirts and the Transworld caps. The summer line officially releases everywhere the following week. Huf is first because they are in my home town. I’ll post pics of the rest of the line next week.

I finally got a hold of Sundays paper. They had a nice write up about me in the style section. It’s good to see it in print, but if you missed the paper you can read it online here. Thank you to everyone that made it happen especially Travis and Matt!
