Good Things

Spending most of our early years consuming books, drawing, doing handcrafts, trying to figure out how things work, riding our bikes and rebuilding them every now and then gave us skills and a desire to create things by hand. Skateboarding and nocturnal graffiti writing missions taught us practical lessons in street knowledge and provided a creative outlet for our bursting adolescent energy. Youth crew era hardcore, KRS-One, Public Enemy albums and buddhist writings taught us the importance of positive thinking and healthy lifestyles. Sourcing flea markets and hardware stores for clothes that resembled the ones the Beastie Boys, Rick Howard, Mike Carroll, all the backpack rappers and old school B-Boys were sporting taught us about streetwear style and customizing our own clothes. And in punk rock shows and hip-hop jams we met likeminded outcasts who rejected the rat race and were determined in following their heart and creating their own path.
