The art of bastard logo

by davidelp 13 February 2012

As Jep designed the bastard logo in 1998, was he fantasizing about seeing it exposed in an art gallery one day?

It happened. Thanks to the artist Marta Dell’Angelo who painted a stitched guy wearing a vintage Spongy sweatshirt (circa 2001).

The painting, which is part of collezione Grassi,  is exposed at Palazzo delle Stelline, located in Corso Magenta 71, Milan, until the end of 2012.

Marta‘s body of work is definitely worth watching, so you might as well pay a visit.

Heavy as a feather

by davidelp 13 February 2012

In the next few days you’ll probably be freezing your bones, as ice and snow are about to cover Italy. Thanks to a proper attire you’ll be able to resist the harsh weather and enjoy the winter.

All you need is the good ol’ goose down jacket. You may wonder why. It’s because goose feather, thanks to its volume, creates an air layer that holds and releases the natural warmth of your body.

Don’t you already have one? No problema, just ask the bastard store.

Que Viva goose feather, Que Viva winter!

Ride Fast

by davidelp 13 February 2012

“We deliver a cleaner Milan”, is the motto of the folks at UBM, and we are proud to support the Urban Bike Messengers by designing the bastard UBM collection for them.
The Pawn gloves, for instance, were made following their requests and preferences, and if they’re good enough for them, who know it all too well about mileage on a bike, they’re certainly good enough for us.
Reflecting print on the knuckles, reinforced palm and comfy, anti-skid rubber for great grip on the handles, 100% neoprene fabric. Zero cold and tons of comfort.

And come on, let’s admit that riding around with Ride Fast printed on your knuckles actually does make you go faster… Read the rest of this entry »

Freak out by Mike Parillo

by davidelp 13 February 2012

Freak Out is the name of the Electric capsule collection with the original art by Mike Parillo. A mix of symbols and visions from Mike’s personal mind.

Mike is an icon in the snowboard universe,he is respected as one of the leading artistic visionaries of the action sports industry. Mike has contributed substantial inspiration and essential work to major companies in the snowboard biz. It is safe to say, to some extent, that he formed the very artistic image of the brand, as he did with Lib Tech, where his name has always been connected with the graphic designs for Travis Rice’s models.

Paratissima 2011

by davidelp 13 February 2012

What is Paratissima?
It looks like FuoriSalone, but less business, less booze, but leaves its mark…

Paratissima is an artistic event in San Salvario in Turin, from 2nd to 6th November, realized outside of the institutional  contemporary art scene. Paratissima takes place every November in the popular neighbourhood  of  San Salvario, in Turin, where spaces such as shops, unfurnished properties, streets and buildings are used to show the works of young artists. But Paratissima is not only this: The event is not just an art exhibition, but is a communal celebration or party which involves music and special events, thus creating an alternative possibility and environment to meet.

So, a whole neighbourhood in Turin will be twisted with music, art, theatre plays and other shows for the whole week. free and open to everyone with no need for a badge or other vip stuff. We’ll be there as a tech support for the Paratissima staff but mostly as happy guests on saturday 5th night.
