Testing The Waters Book

Finally got around to throwing together some cool documentation of our TTW show. We've always had the images online, but it was nice to get a book together for our purposes. Pretty simple screw-post bound, ink jet print. Thank you Canon i9900 for your time and services. A few images below of the book. The cover art matches the graphic we used for the event tees.

Special Portland Blogs On Undertow Rings

Our buddy/merch girl at our art show/stylish serpent diva, Heather at Special Portland recently threw our Utow character rings as well as the gold Ohb pendants on her jewelry blog. She runs a jewelry/goodie store on NE Alberta called Special. There's a lot of great stuff in there and definitely worth checking out in your very near future. She shot photographs of our rings and Ohb items we had at our Testing The Waters show. Check out a couple below, and see the rest of her blog post HERE.

Undertow AJ2010 Article on Counter Kicks

We were contacted pretty early on after our Testing The Waters art show about doing an exclusive article with Counter Kicks on the Air Jordan 2010 project we did with the Jordan Brand. The article was posted today on their site, so head over there and give it a read. It's got some good tidbits for sure, and we wrote it ourselves (yeah, big boys). Big thanks to Counter Kicks for being up for whatever we wanted to do and for being big supporters of our shoes.

Art show photos

I know most of the attention around the site lately has been centered around the AJ2010's we did, but we got some newly uploaded photos of our entire art show to post. The three of us were pretty freakin' busy throughout the show, so we didn't get many shots of the show while it was actually taking place. Mostly got shots of the show coming together and installations of the art work. We still have more to upload later as well, but these will definitely work for now. Check out the photos below and jump all over the links to the albums.

Testing The Waters video montage

Check it out. Thanks to Alex Mertz for throwin' this together. It's true about the spooning and scissoring. We'll have more updates on the show and more photos soon.

Undertow Air Jordan 2010's

Felt like this topic needed a post to itself. If you made it out to our Testing The Waters art show last night, you're well aware of our only public edition of the AJ2010's we were auctioning off for St. Mary's. We were lucky to collaborate with the Jordan Brand on this project, and they turned out pretty awesome.

They've been getting some attention around the digital interweb since our show. A few posts on them here, here, and here. Like I said, as of right now these were the only pair available to the public and were successfully auctioned off at our show last night at Nemo. So they're all gone. However, I'm not sure what's happening with them in the future or if more may be released at some point. I suppose that is TBD.

For now though, we're posting a handful of photos of them for people who may be curious. The shoes themselves rock, but even more so when placed in our little aquarium tank display we built for the show.

And then there were none...

Wow. Did that really just happen? What an amazing experience at our debut art show last night. I think it still hasn't really sank in for the three of us yet. We're pretty proud of ourselves though for somehow finding a way to pull that off.

We got a lot of people to thank and I don't want to leave anyone out, so if you helped us in any way for this show, you rock. Big ups to Jordan brand and Nemo HQ for allowing this entire thing to occur. Two powerful forces there bringing two awesome cultures and vibes together for something like this really made the evening. Thanks again, we owe a lot of tees or side hugs to a lot of people.

We got more photos to come in the next few days. Still doing a lot of editing and resizing and such, so stay tuned!

Art show production begins...

Started painting up Nemo last night for our Testing The Waters show (yes, it's friday the 4th) last night. We were there pretty late trying to get in as much as we could. This week is going to be nuts trying to get everything together. It's looking pretty sweet though so far. So check out the pics below, and check out a few more on our facebook profile HERE.
