October 9th, 2007 by bennygold




The bags I designed, for Timbuk2, are now available on-line. If you missed them at the timbuk2 store know is your chance to cop. They sold out pretty fast in the shop. I didn’t even get the sample I wanted. Bummer.

BG Fall / Winter line sheets are out. If you are around a retailer, that carries my line, it should be available soon. Call them for release dates. The last offering sold out fast.

Real Skateboards Remix Project

September 23rd, 2007 by bennygold







Finally — the Real Skateboard Remix Project is out! I worked on this over a year ago, and I’ve been waiting for the debut. Remix is a re-interpretation of Real’s OG oval logo by various artists, and I’m very proud to be a part of it. There was a sneak peek of my addition in the Mass Appeal feature. I took Real’s OG oval and embellished it with elements of myself, skateboarding; and you know there had to be paper planes involved somewhere! I was also asked to add a few apparel pieces to the offering as well, so check out the New era fitted flocked with the pattern, plus the hoodie utilized it as a liner. Honestly, I am stoked on how it came out, and it was well worth the wait! Thanks Jim!

Huf Skyline on the Brain

September 21st, 2007 by bennygold



I love how something you create can take on many forms outside of what you originally envisioned. The etch-a-sketch skyline was originally inspired by the Huf logo. It was created for Huf’s shopping bags and window decoration. I never imagined it to be shaved in someone’s head or a tattoo. Thanks to Juanitooburrito for the support and dedication. Let me know if anything else out there exists - you know I will post it. Thanks again!

Ipath Island

September 19th, 2007 by bennygold



While I was out of town Ipath footwear released a shirt I designed for them. I didn’t know when it was coming out and I definitely need one for my records. Ipath will be expecting a call today. I like to keep at least one of everything I create for my book. I based the design on vintage maps and used the names of their skate team for the topographical locations. Drawing that map was a pain, but worth it in the end.

Real vs. Fake

September 18th, 2007 by bennygold



I am back in SF after my honeymoon travels and ready to get back to it. I had an e-mail waiting for me from Leland Grossman. He found this really bad fake BG X Huf hat on ebay (No silver stitching). Thanks for the heads up! I want to hate on the fakes, but I have to admit that I do like seeing them. It’s a love hate relationship. Check the auction here.

Stop by their flagship store on Hayes st., next to Huf, this Thursday for the release party.

Bag Release Window Samples

August 16th, 2007 by bennygold



I designed a line of bags with Timbuk2. Next week, August 23rd, they are hosting a bag release party at their flagship store. I went over there yesterday to check out a sample of the window graphic for the event. Here is sneak peak of what everything will look like and part of the pattern I created for the bags. Samples of the bags are coming in as well and I will post pics of those soon.
