When life gives you wheat, make wheat paste.

I went out last night for a little solo mission to shake off whatever wheatpaste cobwebs I’ve acquired. It felt good to be out again. Keep an eye out for scantily clad Vargas girls doing fun recreational activities around Williamsburg as well as three mouthed girls checking you out as you walk on by. I think I’ll be leaving the “I CAN’T AFFORD TO LOVE NY” slogan with “Made it in NY” to push a more positive message this time around. Keep your eyes peeled and your hoods up.

I’m Jonesing for a Jason HeadHood


It’s been a busy week down here at the HeadHoods ranch. I’m releasing not one, but two new styles in the very near future. (as soon as I get around to updating the website!) I chose to go with the lovely Grace Jones and Jason from Friday the 13th. I’ve gotten a couple requests for a Lady Ga Ga so I decided to go with who Lady Ga Ga wishes she could be, which would be Grace Jones. Two new friends of mine, Katy and Nikki Bagli stopped by the other day to buy a couple hoods. While doing so, they noticed I had both a black and a dark heather Grace Jones available and they instantly got in a huge fight over who gets the Dark Heather one. It was intense.
I really can’t explain to you why I decided to add Jason to the HeadHood mix, but I did. His face works great on the hood and would be fun to wear this summer camping with your friends. Works great in a collage as well!

UTZ here!

I still don’t really know why I chose to make the UTZ potato chip girl into a HeadHood. Is it because of those piercing cute eyes? Is it me paying homage to my Pennsylvania roots? Is it because UTZ salt and vinegar potato chips are da bomb? Regardless, I think it works. My good friend Martha, who is an awesome hairstylist and who also happens to play a mean violin stopped by the other night. I just printed up some UTZ hoods and couldn’t resist but to do a spontaneous UTZ girl HeadHood photoshoot. She put on one of my new Gracey Jones T shirts too for good measure. My new Tees will be available in the near future. Stay tuned. There are more hoods around the corner too!


Snow Man Gold!

Last night after a long day of getting orders out and updating the site with the new UTZ style I was doing what I usually do, which is making a little music. While doing so, who comes and visits on a snowy night but my good friend Zandy Mangold. Zandy is a damn good photographer and when he isn’t behind his camera, he is probably training for a 150 mile marathon in Australia this coming April. So we jammed a lil’ bit and then Zandy had to hit the snowy trail again, but not before giving him a new Sock Monkey HeadHood for his journey!

SALE! SALE! SALE!

Yes, it’s true. I’m holding my first sale ever. I feel there are entirely too many unworn HeadHoods here at my studio and I want to get them out of here and onto the streets. Over the last couple years, I’ve accumulated quite a few HeadHoods for flea markets, photoshoots, an occasional return, or an occasional F— up, which happens from time to time. As a kid, I would have never been able to shell out the money to buy a HeadHood, but might be able to do so if there was a sale! If you are brave enough to order a Sale HeadHood, drop me a line and let me know which faces are on your wish list and I will do my absolute best.


Wasn’t me…

Probably not the smartest thing to post here on my blog, but you know what? I don’t care. Last night I did some late night covert op involving a heavy cherry table top that I hand stamped and painted the previous week. Snapped a photo this morning of the painted Lucha peering over the fence looking for his next opponent.

New Year New Danger gallery opening

Here are some photos of the High Roller Society’s opening night. For those of you who don’t know, this was the first time my work was hung in a gallery. Unfortunately it was over in London and I couldn’t make it. HeadHoods don’t make themselves you know! Regardless, it looked like a great evening and I look forward to the next opportunity to take part in another show. Hopefully I will get to attend the one.






Cool Friends

My good friend Blake stopped by to pick up his custom skull HeadHood equipped with both reflective tape to fend off danger as well as a messenger pocket on the back! I focused on the function of the sweatshirt and didn’t put too much thought into the final aesthetic. I’m definitely not a seamstress, but I’m getting there. Blake seemed extra stoked this time around and is going to pedal this one around the Brooklyn streets.

A little later that night, Danielle and Holland stopped by. While Holland sang his heart out at the keyboard, Danielle and I made some collages, which we hung up later that night around town.

Coollages

While preparing for the High Roller Society Show, (which opens tomorrow!), I got kind of hooked on collaging these iconic faces I’ve been using for HeadHoods. Simply halving a face and swapping pieces from another creates a whole new mysterious character. It’s nothing revolutionary by all means, but it definitely works well with my medium and the combinations are almost endless. Most importantly it’s alot of fun to do and hang up around town. I’m hoping some of the more successful collage faces will make it on to Tshirts this upcoming season. For now, you may have to settle for a Marilyn T head checkin’ you out while you’re peeing at some of the local watering holes.

Give it up for Mr. HeadHood

Would the real Mr. HeadHood please stand up?
My good friend Martin, the man in charge of the High Roller Society Gallery in London sent me these photos of Mr. HeadHood this past week. Mr. HeadHood will be shmoozing with friends at the New Year New Danger Gallery opening at the end of this month. I wish the real Mr. HeadHood was going, but I must admit this is a good replacement. Mr. HeadHood will be rocking a big baby headhood as well as my totem pole outfit.
