#Holla | Lusteg

We were featured on Ryan Lusteg's Blog... stoked! I was super surprised, honored and happy when I saw this. He is doing some amazing work, so you should check out his blog and flickr page.

Cut & Sewn | Maestro X Hall Of Fame

Levi Maestro has been killing it the last two years with his Maestro Knows project. Single handedly changed the idea of a blog/video series. Changing it for the better, while incorporating a bunch of genres (music, skateboarding, fashion, streetwear) into one big project all while documenting his life. His style, uniqueness and creativity can not be taught in a book or class room. Maestro is an artist in his own genre that noone can duplicate. 

His creativity can not only be used in a blog or video, but also in fashion and streetwear. He has released quite a few collaborations this year, with the likes of: Los Angeles jeweler Shayan Afshar, 13TH Witness,  and Yue Wu. Each having it's own hype and story behind the product. Recently, Maestro teamed up with Hall Of Fame to produce this sweatshirt: 

Maestro has always been a huge supporter of Hall Of Fame, supporting them as a shopper... as well as an occasional visit during a Maestro Knows episode. I love collaborations with a story behind the product and when they work flawlessly together. This sweater is that case, everything about it is cool and original. The front logo gives off a simplistic look to the piece, while the back tells the entire story "Making My Way To The Hall Of Fame". At the rate Levi Maestro is working and progressing... I wouldn't be surprised if they made a "Hall Of Fame" for him.

Fotography Fridays | Ryan Lusteg

I just found out about Lusteg's work about a week or so ago. I really like his art. He doesn't really have a set style of photography. Some photographers are really good at capturing feelings, some are good at capturing unique situations. It's pretty cool that he is super well known for his work in the skate world, but then I checked out his other works. And this is what intrigued me:

Anciet Mayan Cenote - This is so fucking cool. I love the colours.

Bird - Almost looks like a painting. Colours are crazy.

BJ the Chicago Kid - Reminds me of summer. 

Jamie Thomas - This is my favorite skate photo. Reminds me of skateboarding all alone in my garage, good times.

Levi Maestro - Super dope photo, I like the way he captured feeling.

Levi Maestro - I guess this was shot in Hawaii. I like the irony: "Under Achieving Loners". ahha

Levi Maestro - Another dope photo in Hawaii at sunset.

Mycole - Remember him?

Nelly the mouse - I hope this is a pet.
