Hey Clinkers! Head on over and check out these sweetum hatums that we designed in collaboration with United Pixel Workers. We love what the fellas over at United Pixel Workers are doing and we were exctied when they approached us to collaborate with them. The 2 offerings include one style showcasing their “U” logo designed by the badass Draplin and the “Pixelsmith” designed by us, Brandiose. They’re on pre-order now with a special offer if you order both styles. Go to UnitedPixelWorkers.com to checkum outum.

Hat Club Brand Pt. 4

casey — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 09:55:34 +0000

Since Hat Club is based out of Phoenix and they have a bunch of stores in the Phoenix area, we knew we had to get some great Phoenix themed designs into the collection. Lucky for us Phoenix is pretty cool name for a hometown, flames, fiery eagle-like mythical creatures, the beauty of the desert. Unlike some of the styles we showed yesterday, we had a strong back-and-forth with the Hat Club guys to try and pin down the Phoenix themed designs that we wanted. We’ll go into more of that in later posts.

Here are the Sketches for the California themed designs. You can see the upper left bear head design, our most popular design in the line so far, in it’s earliest incarnation. You gotta see this design in the flesh. The real hook of this design isn’t California flag crossed bear head, but the white of the flag containing a detail sculpted bear head. It’s really cool in embroidery.(Now I’m seeing it’s sold out and not on the site anymore. I have a feeling it’ll be back though. I’ve added a photo of the final embroidery so that you can see the final result.) In the next collection you’ll see the what the upper right design became, I think it’s really cool.

Just in case you missed it, this first collection that we’re showing here is available now on HatClub.com and in Hat Club stores everywhere. Go HERE to check it out. Tomorrow, more sketches!!!

Boogiemen-B.T.S.-Pt.1

casey — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 09:55:28 +0000

Lets dig into T.J. Monteiro’s Boogiemen! This was a One-and-doner if I recall correctly. And what a one-n-Doner it was. I love this concept. Not only is a great design, but it’s funny and a perfect fictional team name. When we first started opening up the Clink Room to collaborations this is exactly the type of designs we hoped to get.

Here are some of T.J.’s inspirations.

T.J. was also inspired by this classic from MC Shan. “Hip hop was set out in the dark They used to do it out in the park.”

Tomorrow, T.J.’s epic sketches. And I mean it, epic.

Jesse’s Glowfish BTS – Pt.3

casey — Wed, 30 May 2012 09:55:50 +0000

And here are Jesse’s final Illustrator versions. We really liked the final version of these designs. But, like a lot of the collaboration designs they had a little too much detail for embroidery.

So we simplified the design but tried to keep it’s same character. And instead of having the detail in different colors we opted for Clink’s signature embroidery detail. Here’s the final Illustrator version and the stitch instructions showing off those scales.

Tomorrow morning we’ll preview the hat. Tomorrow night at 9PM PST Midnight EST the hat will be go on sale.
