Today’s Lesson: The Nash Air Max 90’s crack!!!…litterally the paint on the sole cracks, chips, and falls off after 5 minutes of wearing them…”Not a good look!” unless you want your girl asking you, why are your brand new shoes cracking.

HOMEROOM AT TRUE IS SOLD OUT! New shipment coming soon to TRUE and TURF

She Got STYLE, PERIOD. Yoshi spotted her in the financial district, or as the cool people call it “FI-DI“. A lot of people don’t know this but, Yoshi has a 6am-330 am job in “the fi-die“. She wakes up at 4am Monday-Friday, than works on HomeRoom from 4pm till 10pm…or so i wishfully think that.

Meet Gian our resident comedian, bike builder, shoe and bag maker, break taker, coffee maker, bread baker, Laker hater, recycled goods separator, always digging through the refrigerator. Gian has a design company called future basic. He just made us this track bike from raw tubes. Check the raw HomeRoom signature composition book paint job. YEEEEEE!!!!!

I was cleaning out my change jar and i found 2, 2 dollar bills…now ill always have enough for the bridge toll

When i was at the airport i noticed these posters from early 20th century china. Peep the original technique of photo shop. “Take picture and paint over it” duhhhhhh. Black and white still photo with vibrant splashes of color…that’s the “new new” Mind you that it’s circa 1910. I want this poster bad!!!!!!!



Why is this kid holding a dove????


Pro Communism, socialism is evil poster’s

New Fire!












Today’s Lesson: I didn’t learn anything today besides I’m getting a gang of 45 inch glow in the dark zippers! AYE!!!!

The day started off with a fivefour care package courtesy of Big C


And these Japanese denim FiveFour Gold edition’s

Big C literaly has a closet in his Car.

Dropped off the Denim goods at HUF for Massan.

Massan and Al are glad the heat wave is over, HUF is known for having the rarest digs in the Bay and no Air conditioning.

Me and Yoshi design best when we have greasy, high calorie, processed food from and overpriced American chain restaurant. There’s nothing like making fictitious designs HUF four anniversary night

Hiro from TRUE gets Hyphy Beast.

Dean the man!….. the reason i got into designing, Peep deans new nike clerk pac

Ran into Bobby Hundreds visiting up here from So Cali; good people.

Tyrone from stussy didn’t know where to start 2 beers and a vodka something. After waiting 20 minutes in line for a drink, you would stock up too…

I was his ride home. I wound up loosing him. If you see Tyrone wandering on the streets holler-luya.

Random Misc. pics
