For those of you who don’t know (don’t feel bad, they’re fairly new to me as well) The Dirty Dozen is an eclectic group of about 20 street artists, hipsters, fighters, writers and globetrotters. I stumbled on this clip while looking for street art collectives and was fortunate to find some South American footage from a trip 3 members, Os Gemeos, Raven and Sonic, took in 1997, attacking the streets of a city who knows street art as well as it does crime.

Street art on Magazine Street in New Orleans. This town is pretty great. Lots of great style, if your in the right neighbourhood. On one end of town you have the areas devastated (and still are) by Katrina and on the other you have hip latte drinking hipsters. The south is really interesting that way.

The crime rate is high and just walking to the store in the neighbourhood I’m staying in can be nerve racking. Groups of men with tear drop tattoos (traditionally prison tattoos) and being the only white girl for miles it seems, heading out to the post office on the bus today was pretty interesting. I’m street smart enough to only take my mail, put my phone in my boot and debit card in my bra but it didn’t keep me from being harassed a little. Mostly about my $150 motorcycle boots in pretty much perfect shape. I’m well aware someone might rob me for my boots as well so next time, sneakers.

I’m not trying to be paranoid but its a fact and we’ve been warned this neighbourhood isn’t so great. Me and my boyfriend walked to find an open store on Sunday and were honked at and asked if we wanted to buy weed within 20 feet on the main road. I don’t mind, I prefer poor neighbourhood to rich in most places (especially if i have a car) but I’m not pushing my luck either.

Looking forward to renting a car again this weekend and going back downtown!

Carrot Clothing Spring 2010

Spring 2010 Carrot Clothing, Ludo Tee, Nature's Revenge & Underdogs tee

Carrot Clothing’s spring line is a great mix of skate, street and the middle finger. Each design true to the nature of the tee and even truer to the nature of the street. In addition to their main Spring 2010 line they also choose to go a directionÂ reminiscentÂ of the founder himself and his experiences, both as an artist and as a person.

The first thing that made this company particularly interesting was its back story. The founder and designer, Alex Gligorich, began making shirts for friends and family in a politically torn Syria in the 90′s. His anti-war message, although courageous, landed him in jail and at the mercy of unforgiving local authorities for spreading alleged â€œterroristâ€ policies. He has since joined forces with other people of the same mindset, from street artists to skateboarders to establish Carrot Clothing, a brand whose very essence is based upon the underdog, family relationships between art, skate and street communities. The Spring 2010 line, called Fuck War, is exactly how it sounds, ballsy, outspoken and real. Featuring mens hoodies, t-shirts, button-up shirts and even a varsity jacket, the line represents an in your face attitude sorely needed by any fashion conscious war protester. Many people underestimate the power of fashion to persuade and express things as serious as political opinion. If making t-shirts can get you thrown in jail, that alone is proof that the message was seen, heard and affected people. Heres your chance to do the same!

The Originators

The music in the boom boxes, record players and 8 tracks of the past and the first graffiti on the streets and subways ofÂ New York mark the beginnings of a subculture many of us enjoy today. The Originators are in those boom boxes, on those records and arting up the walls of the past and we found someone first in line to honor their fine work, The Originators. The Originators is a L.A. based clothing company with original designs showing straightforward respect for hip hop history – early DJs, MCs, Writers, and B-Boys, with a street art angle.

We love the street art and well,… boom boxes too, so it worked out great that they sent us a few shirts along those lines. Fourth of July weekend we went out in the country to blow things up and took the opportunity to show off the shirts in an environment completely contrary to their content – therefore focusing your eyes on their awesomeness. All the shirts are quality in construction and print. Bright colors, great screening and comfortable fit. Just scored twoÂ awesome new Nike’s straight from Japan that mix and match perfectly with these shirts as well. Keep it bright, keep it interesting and keep it real is a good way to sum up The Originators designs.

Check out their styles – mens, womens, lids, jackets, polos and yes even skateboards – as well as their extensive list of Originators to keep your hip hop history knowledge above and beyond the majority.
