WORSE HABITS

regarding my lack of posts: i've been working very very hard on getting my portfolio site up and running. but with trying to balance that on top of all the design work i've been doing, my new promotion at my day job, still putting in work with shooting photos and making zines, the new youthanized collection and culture abuse, it has sadly taken a back seat. i work on it as much as possible, but lately it's been a here and there when i have free time idea. my goal is to have it ready for the new year. most, if not all, of my photos and design work from 2013 will be spotlighted. i will be dropping new tees, as well as, a new accessories line when the new site launches. till then, stay high.

SPREAD APART

CULTURE ABUSE has made our first shirts. if you came to our first show at bottom of the hill back in june, then you had the opportunity to grab one of the first runs of these. the logo was transferred to the various black shirts using bleach and a stencil. each shirt was different, and unique in it's own right. we've been working on more, and we may have some available to purchase soon. check out the shirts below, photos by david kelling. 

OVERDOSE ME

check out the CULTURE ABUSE site we have up. mostly just photos and upcoming show info. but it's worth it to take a look at what we do to warm up before we play shows. photo above by juan gabe.
