Change

Waking up early sucks, but today it was or a good cause. We have a new President! Barack Obama, president #44, gave a pretty awesome speech as always. He reached out to those do wrong and told them they were on the wrong side. He told them to unclench their fist and we will talk. He promised to find out what will work and continue to do those things and those that do not work will be gotten rid of. Obama went straight from the inauguration to the oval office to get some work done. It reminded me of that new south park, haha, you should try and catch it on comedy central it was hilarious. On the more serious side lets just all hope for a little change.
On a less serious note it was our good friend DiRo’s birthday this past weekend. We went to dinner over at the Yard house. I got a big ass beer, in a tall ass glass; it was a little awkward to drink but tasted good going down. I chipped in with a few other friends to get DiRo his present. We got him a giant rubber fist from a sex shop. My friends and I are big on gag gifts and it can’t get more gag then that (pun intended). Happy Birthday MAN! Hope you enjoy your gift. Remember fist can be a verb!

Back on the clothing side were busy at work with a new season for Elated. As some of you may notice as we grow so do our graphic work. When I started this company the designs were done in Microsoft paint. Thank god I finally got the adobe creative suite. I learn new things every day as far as art and design go, and that is reflected in the art that appears on our shirts. Not only am I a designer but I also do the printing for this company as well as many others. This gives me a chance to experiment with different techniques and materials. Over the holiday break I have been experimenting with bleach and the effect it has on different style garments. Here is a little sneak of what may be coming

That’s Travii from aged out rocking his Christmas gift. I’m still unsure on the direction Elated’s next season will take but guaranteed anything we come up with will be epic.
