It’s official! We’d like to announce the opening of our main site to the public with our very first tee produced by Seahorse Tantrum (aka SH*T)! It’s beautifully titled Save Portland from the Rain! You can definitely get the Portland vibe from this shirt, which makes it a superb gift just in time for the holidays! We also have a VERY limited batch of tees for both men and women, so grab yours while you can! Fantastical awesomeness of a price at $18 for a short sleeve tee and $23 for a baseball tee (men Large only). Enjoy!

Visit our shop! Lots more to come!

Lounge and dub fancied with a few tasteful categories come together in our first mashup for the DZK shop! Mixed by our buddy Tuan.

In other news, we are officially launching our first tshirts on December 1, 2011! Keep your eyes out because we know one thing for sure… they wont last long! Hopefully I will have the main site opened up a week before sales begin because this blog itself is generating a couple hundred hits a week (we’ve been slacking on the updates, but we’ll soon change that)! Stay tuned, but please enjoy our mashup in the meanwhile. :)

Watch out for the fan boys! http://thedzkshop.com/blog/cool/sucker-punch-watch-out-for-the-fan-boys/ http://thedzkshop.com/blog/cool/sucker-punch-watch-out-for-the-fan-boys/#comments Sat, 26 Feb 2011 20:00:04 +0000 dezak http://thedzkshop.com/blog/?p=688 sucker-punch

“Sucker Punch” looks like a movie that will garner the most attention from fanboys of anime, comics, and videogames. Ummm, nerds you say?? Maybe. Do I fall into that category? Maybe. So where do I find myself making that assumption? Well, there’s a cast of young scantily clad ladies (female lead in a school girl uniform) that are equipped with ninja swords fighting off robots, samurais, and dragons! Oh, and let’s not forget that the directors of the movie also did “300″ and “Watchmen”. If that doesn’t back up my assumption, well then, I don’t know what else to say… except that the movie looks pretty bad@ss!

“Sucker Punch” cast includes Emily Browning, Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone, Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung, etc… The movie is coming out on March 25, 2011. Go see it!

But what’s the most common fear?? Spiders! I am one of an arachnophobe myself and have been played pranks on numerous times. Remember though, “It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye.” Here is a wonderful short film called “Spider” by Nash Edgerton & David Michôd.

I was taking an architectural art class and after missing a field trip, I ran into a classmate whom showed me his artwork. It consisted of abstract and non-representational visuals, somewhat along the lines of shroomish hallucinogenic. It was cool and different. When I saw MGMT’s album cover for “Congratulations”, it totally reminded me of my classmate’s artwork. Groovy trippy shroomy.

Jason Chan is an artist whom has done various book covers, magazine illustrations (including Playboy), and character design for video games. I came across his Zombie Playground piece awhile back and thought it was worth sharing!

Alma has won many awards and has been nominated for Best Animation Shortfilm in Spain. It’s a bit eerie, with that eeriness similarity to Coraline (produced by Laika which is in Portland btw). If you love strange, awkward, eerie things, or just good creative stuff, then you’ll enjoy Alma.

In his spare time, he likes playing with musca domestica linnaeus. Apparently he has a sense of humor. I give his fly photography an awkward 2 thumbs up.
