I still have to give my recap and I apologize for not posting. I've been incredibly busy this past week and I'll be gone this weekend, so it'll be longer than expected but it'll give me time to fully evaluate the time.

Mosaic Skate Shop Gallery in the Bronx holds Branded Baron

I'm proud to announce that Branded Baron is now stocked in the Bronx. You can check out Mosaic Skate Shop Gallery for all you skateboarding needs and apparel. What's really cool about this place, is that it has art hanging around the wall. Every month there is an art event and the exhibits range from paintings to photography. If you wondering why "gallery" was in the store's name, that is why. I personally think it is really cool to also promote the arts. I know they're planning a new art event at the end of July, will have a some sort of water balloon fight sometime soon, and their one year anniversary is coming up in August.

I originally knew about this store through another brand and I have to thank boy Chi for taking me, so I can meet with the owner Wilfredo in person. He's a cool guy and he's helping get a nice skate park built a couple blocks away from the store, which is great. It's great, because there's so many skaters in the area and the closest skate park is downtown. I applaud him to helping give back to the community. He also has some limited edition art prints to raise money for the Japan Relief Fund, because I don't know if you forgot, but it's still bad over there. Mosaic is a big win, skateboarding + stunningly fresh apparel + art + film + giving back to the community and world = awesome.

(Wilfredo hanging up the Statue of Liberty tanks)

I've been to this store a couple times and once I was able to get Branded Baron into the store it felt really good. I was really excited yesterday when I delivered the custom colorway tank tops to them. Yes! That's right, they have exclusive Statue of Liberty Gangsta tank tops in a heather gray colorway. There will be this design on a white tank, but if you really like THAT colorway you have to go to Mosaic. That is extremely exclusive and there are a very limited amount.

Overall, I'm very happy to add another retailer to the list of Branded Baron stockists and I'm very happy it's Mosaic. It's a very cool place and I look forward to coming through there to the events and w/ new goodies.

Stickers! You can see the Branded Baron sticker on it!

When you walk into the store you are welcomed by this fine gentleman.

Get your skate stuff!

This was picture of the tank after being printed. I used water base ink, so the print is soft.

Here's a picture of Wilfredo rocking the Statue of Liberty tee

Branded Baron designer Danette talks

Earlier this week I spoke to Danette about her designs and the release date for the new Branded Baron shirts and while I was there I video taped her talking about a couple things. If you didn't know Danette is one of the in-house designers for Branded Baron and two of her designs appear in this latest release. I personally love both of them and think the print came out amazing on both the tank top and shirts. The tank top has great colors and Danette talks about where she got her inspiration. The other design comes in a navy v-neck which is a very dark shade of navy blue, because it's close to the black t-shirt for guys. I'm a huge fan of both and think you'll definitely love it as well as other designs. It was definitely fun working with her when we planning the latest release and deciding what designs would be printed. Let me tell you, there's plenty of Danette to go around and I mean her designs. The cool thing is, her specialty is really accessories, so maybe you'll see some cool Branded Baron accessories in the near future. Who knows? Maybe it's already in the works.
