21st Century Maroon Colony » Pharaoh Poncho


Eight Oh Eight by M.J.

Been a pretty quiet saturday at the collaboration studio. I’m cranking on zero sleep and kinda coasting through the tail end of this inventory update. However, the week itself seemed pretty eventful. Finishing up 21Trillion projects (which I will post about shortly), managing this website update (YAY NEW NAV!), sorting on new designs for fall and trying to tie up some loose ends.

Our good friend and fellow maroon, Mimi (who some of you may recognize from the 2008 Tropics campaign) has been in town as of late. Seems she’s leaving Oakland to be a full-time Brooklyn wizard, which is great news for us.

Over the past few days Mimi has stopped by, shot the shit, goofed off, modeled the new tees, worked miracles and somehow made a makeshift visor + tank top with one single scissor swipe. Gotta love it!

And not to be outdone… just after stitching together Mr. Fried Chicken’s custom apron in time for him to wear it for the last episode before Sweden, the woman started putting together the last of the Pharaoh Ponchos remixes!!! Come people! Recognize!!! What can’t we do with help from the gods?!?!?

Organizing… by M.J.

For those of you who were wondering…

I’ve been attempting to develop a working outline for our curriculum while Yego & Mario have been at the studio working feverishly on the new studio portfolio. We’re all planning a limited release of hand screened tees for 7/3, so mark your calendars!!

Anyhow… here’s a bit of what we’ve got thus far- Exciting times!
