I love black cherry soda, I like this band Goldfrapp.

Our good friend JP ( Digitalgravel, Greater Than) Mr. Party Extraordinaire is rocking the Punk Rock Flannel in Coffee color at Disneyland.  These pieces sold out quick and we still have a few on ATTIC2ZOO.COM, 80spurple.com and ROLO in San Francisco.  We will be putting a limited amount of these flannels for the first 5 hours on sale Feb 14th when our online store opens.  DONT SLEEP.  

A while back i posted these photos of the Obama action figures i did for the Jailbreak Toys/Obama campaign fund-razzer. That was before he got elected. Damn!,I just saw this set going for a grand on this website!…Somebody is making loot, and it ain’t me.

BFFs. These two dogs are the best. Continually siked on life. They are my inspiration.

So I’m pretty new to the Ludwig office and have been getting situated the last couple of weeks. One of the things I love is that we usually have some sort of music playing.  The only issue I have with this though is the fact that one of the songs we have on the shuffle, is surprisingly enough, Snoop Dogg’s “Sensual Seduction”.  When I asked the question ” Why the fuck are we listening to this?”  the response I got was, “Have you seen the video?”. So of course, we proceded to crowd around my laptop and watch the magic that is Snoop Dogg’s “Sensual Seduction” music video.

I didn’t know Snoop had this in him! 70’s style suits, nebula, and sideburns. What else could you ask for?! Enjoy

I received one hell-uva package from my good mate J. DeBeck of Deadly Dragon Sound System. For all you reggae heads, this is the place for you. Check it out mon, at DEADLY DRAGON SOUND SYSTEM.

One of the best things that came in the package was this BLACK SOAP! nothing like pure cocoa butter to keep your skin baby soft and protect it from those “ashy” winters. And also the sweet smell of the Nicholas Cherry incense keeps my studio smelling chill. The Sound System mix CD’s are chalk full of rock-steady to keep my work flowing,..all I need now is a spleeefy to top it all off.

Thanks J, I have a nice gift for you when I see ya. Peace.

Triggs soap of choice.

Check out a few photos from the Fall 2009 lookbook featuring Eliel wearing the Filmore Flannel ( violet long sleeve ) the Adams jacket ( black coated canvas jacket ) and the Porter long sleeve button down, nicely paired with a tonal skinny-tie. All product is MADE IN USA. There is no sleeping here at Ludwig, it’s back to the grindstone, we work harder than the rest to stay ahead of the rest. Everything else is noise. Stay tuned for more on Fall-09.

Nice Details

Andre, you were winning the fight, in fact you were dominating. The infamous “flying knee” was not in the game plan, and you know it. Plus, since when does this technique work on skilled fighters? not very often, and with somebody like Fedor, not very well as indicated by the fact that you tried to do it like a grade-school kid with your hands at your waist, and ended up getting stretched. Now I owe Will and Stacy $20.00 each! I’m pissed! - I deserve a re-match!

We’ve had a couple of rainy days this last week in the usually sunny Southern California. The rain reminded me of this painting by Rene Magritte.

Golconda 1953

Rene Magritte was a Belgian surrealist, known for the way he chose to portray subjects in an unconventional way.  The Los Angeles County Museum of Arts hosted a Magritte exhibit two years ago, complete with additional pieces by Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. It was one of the best exhibits I’ve ever been to! I love how Magritte makes you appreciate things in a new way.  Here are two of my favorite pieces.

Perspective 1: David's Madame Recamier

The Treachery of Images 1928

And here’s a picture of Magritte himself:

He was a pretty stylish man if I do say so myself. You can call me boring, but I’ve always been a fan of the classic black and white and of course, the skinny tie.

Anyways, enjoy the rainy weather while it lasts. I personally enjoy the change!

It’s “Hoover” time. Introducing the first time-piece from Ludwig, the “Hoover” is a classic twist on a pilots watch featuring a stainless steel case with a swiss movement, stainless steel buckle and heavy duty nylon webbing band. It is water resistant up to 150ft. It comes beautifully packaged in this black satin case that features a nice tone-on-tone print. This is a limited edition watch, as only 50 were produced, so make sure you check back when the Ludwig store opens on Feb 14th, 2009 as they will sell out very quickly - don’t sleep!

Booooyaaaaa!
