The Homie Talley C

About a year back, I chronicled the work of a buddy of ours named Talley Carlston. You should check that post out here is you missed it before. I was just looking through his stuff today and I think it's time to throw up another post of his stuff. He is a really talented photographer and also happens to be living in my room while I'm over here in Rome for a few months. So just check these shots out and appreciate the talent that is the "Big Snake."










Go check out his Tumblr, S'il Vous Plait, here.

The Homie Sam Wegman

Please go spend a dollar supporting our good buddy Sam in his quest to be the next Damien Rice/Elliot Smith/John Lennon of our generation. I can remember writing songs in his basement for school retreats when we were like 15, and now his music and my artwork are on iTunes. Anyways, go check it out and hopefully you like it. Either way throw the bum a dollar for his Mad Dog tonight...

My Coast

Home... For Now

I just arrived in Rome to study for 4 months. During this time, The INC! is going to be putting in work behind the scenes so that this summer we will be in a good place to make some big moves. During my time here ill be sharing some of the things I see and experience here in Rome, but for the most part I think the blog will become more of an outlet to share my inspirations, what I see that will probably eventually make it into the stitches of the clothing we here at The INC! create. There may not be a lot of explanation of what I put on here and it may be difficult to draw connections between the blog and street clothing, but just take it for what it is. For now just check out some of the photos from my first week in Rome.

That New New

Seattle sports has had a breath of life! In one weekend, the Huskies took down Nebraska (who embarrassed us at home earlier this season) and the Seahawks beat the Rams. We can forget the lousy records and seasons the teams had up to that point, we won a bowl game and have a playoff game on Sunday! I've often mentioned how sad our town's sports teams are and although I still think that the weekend was a great reminder of how it feels to win. In related news, The INC! is going to release some new t-shirts coming up here very soon and the colorways were chosen in honor of the Seahawks and Huskies. I'll of course let you guys know when we physically have them, but let me show you the new Born and Raised T in classic Seahawks' blue and green and Husky purple and gold:







Put Your W-A's Up!

Just a few videos to show you what's running through our head when we work.

The Cool...

I was watching Indiana Jones last night and it got me thinking about what makes someone really cool. I never came up with an answer, but these guys seem to know something most of us don't...

Sunday's Something Sneaky - Flags

The blogging has been down lately, as in pretty much all year. My bad. This week I actually have an excuse though because it's finals week here on campus. I'm actually in the library right now writing a study guide about metaphysics. But luckily I have a wandering mind and I thought it was important that I let you guys in on what I am about to start working on pretty soon here.

I have been trying to work in a design based on the state flag because I always love to incorporate our hometown pride into our work. Now that I'm down in Oregon, I miss WA that much more. But I also admit that I have some Oregon pride now too and The INC! owes a lot to the people down here. Therefore I've got some sweet ideas swirling about what to do with these here state flags. Just another Sunday's Something Sneaky for those out there who need something to distract them from whatever they are doing.

Sunday's Something Sneaky - New Products

We're looking to get some new stuff made for the holiday season so your parents and Santa have something really cool to get you. So I thought this Sunday I would give you a look at what we're doing. We're looking at doing a couple different sticker designs and a hoody for the cold weather. So enjoy this Sunday's Something Sneaky and look out for this stuff in the near future.

Friday's 5 - Cities of the World

A buddy of mine recently brought a giant world map over to our house for us to have. We ended up standing around it for about half an hour discussing where we had been, where we wanted to go, etc. It was a really cool conversation and it got me thinking about the places I have traveled already in my 20 years of living. My mom is in the travel business and my dad is always getting shipped off around the world for work so I have been really lucky in the extent of my travels. So today, while it's on my mind, I figured I would write about my 5 favorite cities I have ever been to. They may not all be the most recognized or the most important cities of the world, but they are definitely the five places I have been and would love to return to. Here it is, Friday's 5, my favorite cities of the world.

#5 - Venice
Venice is one of the most unique cities in the world. The way it is built around the system of canals is amazing and I loved how the canals are built into everyday life there. There are hundreds of beautiful bridges, water taxis, gondolas and islands that really make Venice a great place to visit. I also really love St. Mark's square because there is always something going down there, and at the very least there are millions of pigeons to chase. I'll be back there sometime in 2011, so I'm super pumped for that.


#4 - Hood River
My parents have some friends that run a bed and breakfast down in this really cool city in Oregon, so I've been going there for years. It is a really small city but it is great to walk around in and see the shops and eat at Andrew's Pizza and Mike's Ice Cream. Now that I live in Portland I get down there sometimes for a day and it's just a fun place to spend an afternoon. Plus, if you go when the wind is blowing, you can see dozens of really talented windsurfers doing their thing on the river which is very cool.


#3 - Paris
Paris gets a bad rap because a lot of people don't get along with the French, but it definitely one of the greatest cities in the world. The Louvre is incredible, the Van Gogh museum is even more incredible and a nighttime walk by the Eiffel Tower really caps it off nicely. Just steer clear of the escargot...


#2 - New York City
There is certainly no more exciting city than NYC. It just seems as if you're at the center of the world when you're there. Especially if you're into art of clothing, because then you are literally at the epicenter. I was there this summer and just walking around with Jay-Z in my headphones was one of the most incredible things I've ever done. New York makes you feel like you can do anything, which is somewhat dangerous but definitely exciting.


#1 - Seattle
Had to do it. It's probably not fair because I have lived here my whole life but I really have a special place in my heart for Seattle. It is so cool to look up from a boat on Lake Washington when the sun is shining and see giant mountains in the distance. I know everyone thinks it's raining all the time but they are wrong, it only rains most of the time. The city is so green and there are tons of really cool places to hang out and see. Come visit, The INC! will definitely show you a good time.
