One of the local pioneering skateboarding brands, Hellbent, has just released some new goodies for the new season. The release consist of t-shirts, a snapback and matching wallet to go with it, which is sort of the highlight of this release. Dubbed the ‘Aztec’ print, it can be seen on the lower brim of the snapback and also all over the wallet.
All the pieces can already be found at the Hellbent Concept Store in Sg. Besi and at other selected retailers.
The second delivery for Macbeth Footwear Fall 2013 has finally arrived at our Malaysian Shores. A total of 18 designs all made mostly of vegan materials which coincides with one of goals set by Tom DeLogne, the founder of the footwear company who is also a member of the band Blink 182, which is to reduce the impact it has on the environment.
Check out some of the releases from delivery 2 from the images below. If you want to check out the full delivery, head on over to Macbeth Malaysia’s Facebook page.

The brand was founded somewhere in 2008 as a skateboard crew that hails from Selayang, Selangor. And like most crews, they like to have something that would identify them as a crew. So they started on a quest to produce DIY t-shirts for themselves. And that was how Mercury Co. started out. Since then they have branched out into different scenes besides skateboarding such as the fixed gear community and music.
The name Mercury.Co was taken from the chemical element that is used in thermometers. The inspiration behind mercury is that it is the only metal that is liquid, and that it will expand when it is heated up. So in relations to the brand, they aim to be what their name is, tough yet flexible, and when things start to get tough and heated up, they will always expand no matter what.
Their apparels are 100% customized as all their products are cut and set. Have a look at their latest release at the images below.
In our previous post on Plant Clothing, we mentioned they will be releasing something around this time, and yes, they have delivered on that promise. The new collection by them is called “PLANT MOUNTAIN”, which is inspired by the process of starting right at the bottom of a mountain and the goal is reaching the peak. Deep. This Kuantan brand is definitely aiming high.
With the Spring / Summer season coming to end, a lot of international and local brands have started prepping for the Autumn / Winter season which is just around the corner. One of the first few local brands to be giving all of us a preview of their new line for the upcoming season is MONARCHII.
For now we do not have much info as to when it will be launching, but hopefully it will be sometime soon, so stay tune to their Facebook page as we await for more details. In the meantime, enjoy the preview.
Many would describe him as a pretty shy bloke upon meeting him for the first time, and maybe a tad mysterious bordering scary at times. Who could blame them for feeling that way about him. Skinny, somewhat tall, long dark hair accompanied with the occasional dark circles around his eyes (A necessity for all artist/designer), all that physique coupled with a somewhat brooding look on his face. But, after breaking a lil bit of ice, he is actually just another nice average Joe next door who is very much into regular average things like sneakers, toys, drums, cars, nasi lemak, teh o’ ais and unicorns. Oh yeah, not forgetting “Back To The Future” too.
But, that’s not really what we sat down with Najib “Art:Tech” to talk about. We had a “Borak-Borak” session to actually ‘berborak’ about what we think he is pretty ABOVE AVERAGE at.
My name is Najib, 29 years old, my passion is making art and playing the drums. I play drums in a band called “The 84” and I do motion graphic, graphic designing and illustration for a living, usually for advertising agencies that deals with TV and print ads.
Since I started my own collective called “The 84 Cube Collective” back in 2003. So it’s been 10 years.
The latest one would be my collab with Mickey Mouse.
And not too long ago I did a piece with Nooka Nooka watches. And before that was the Nike Bearbrick and the Shambala Head which is now over in Taiwan. 
The younger generation that are into the newer kind of art and not the typical fine art kinda stuff, will eventually grow older, and start to work, and when they can afford to buy art with their own money, they will start buying their type of art that they deem cool and nice. I think it is a matter of time before the scene gets bigger.

The bad boys of BAD KL are back with more bad-ass moves. In this new release, it is pretty obvious that it is a national day themed release, but after going through the pictures and video of the release, it is pretty clear that this release isn’t just a fashion statement, it is a, statement.
Printed only in white color, and in very limited quantity, we think this t-shirt will be following the footsteps of it’s predecessor the “BAD 77” tee which is already sold out and never to be reprinted again. Better be quick and hit them up on their Facebook page to get in touch with them.
