2014 marks the second year we’ve been invited as partners to participate in the annual Pow! Wow! Hawai‘i festival. Upon making arrangements to fly out to Hawai‘i, we let some of our friends and colleagues know what we had brewing. Two of our good friends decided to make the journey with us. Garvin Ha, film-maker and director, and rhyme-sayer Andre Travis (a.k.a. Dre Trav from WatsToday). The following images paint a broad portrait of what the Pow! Wow! and Oahu … Read More
PRDTetc™ — Brands, Gangs, Teams & Clans
A couple months back we put an exhibition together over at Double Break that showcased some of our in-house brands and products that we had in the works. Since we were previewing these pieces we kept pretty silent about the post event wrap-up on our blog. Now that we will be releasing our new line of caps next week we felt it was only appropriate to share some flics with those that were unable to attend. On display we had … Read More

Baja California, Mexico
One of the coolest things about our work are the field trips we sometimes have to make for our client projects. On Wednesday, one of our current client projects required us to make a trip down south to beautiful Baja California. The goal was to collect imagery unique to Baja for a brand identity we’re developing for a Mexican seafood restaurant, set to open in Boston later this year. Needless to say, it was a pretty awesome day at work. … Read More

PRDTetc™ x UnitedState Collab T–shirt
We did this collaborative T–shirt with our friends, and Sacramento retailer, UnitedState. These shirts released at their store with a PRDTetc™ Pop–Up Shop back in December, but they are now available for purchase in the PRDTetc™ eShop. The shirt is a collaborative twist on Westside Love™, taking on aesthetic elements incorporated into UnitedState’s brand and retail space. 25% of proceeds go to the organization Capitol Roots, which is a non–profit based in Sacramento that sponsors youth urban art programs.
