Our latest graphic with long time collaborator Lee Trice on ‘The Proud Tee’ is a collage of clippings,
photos, & movie characters. There is a lot to digest so we thought why not break down a piece of the
puzzle. One of the images is from the 1988 Sci-Fi film ‘They Live’ – A movie where the main character
discovers a special pair of sunglasses which allows him to see the world as it really is. He’s able to see
the ruling alien population and the real messages behind their massive campaign to keep humans subdued.

Lee incorporated parts of the movie including the ruling aliens. Check the graphic and short video
clips of ‘They Live’ below & see if you can’t find where another current brand was inspired from
the film as well.

If 2011 was a warm up, appetizer, or prerequisite for 2012 then things are looking alright. We’ve had some
unfortunate casualties along the way, but i guess that comes with growth.

Happy New Year to our family, friends, supporters & believers. If you’re in a better spot then you
were this time last year, pat yourself on the back and do it again.

Tip of the hat

Karmaloop TV has been shadowing Jason for a couple months to highlight the mindset behind
the madness and captures the transformation of an old loft in the process.

Jason Woodside // Giving People Color & The Creative Mind Of An Artist

“In light of the city’s gloomy colors and winter vibes, this New York based artist brightens up an
ancient loft in SoHo with crazy colors and murals. This same building is being turned into a bed
and breakfast, which will carry the art on the walls forever.”

Some new additions in the online store including the ‘Proud’ Tee by long time collaborator Lee Trice.
One of his best to date, you can find hundreds of references we’ll start to break down in another post shortly.

New to the Artist Connection is Australian transplant / Brooklyn resident Karan Singh. Bringing his
witty & refreshingly clean illustrative style to the unspoken (until now) motto for the brand. As we’re
the last minute kings, for everything, but also when our best work is done. Can you relate?

Also new to the Artist Connection is designer+illustrator Oliver Barrett hailing from Clevland, OH.
We aligned with him & his ‘Completely Incomplete’ series and did one for the godfather of soul, the
minister of funk himself. The second installment dropping soon

Look out for these plus other Beandip classics – JFK + Snarl prints now available on a crewneck

On the heels of their HBO + How to Make it in America project Cnnctd+ sat down with a number of
people who are paving their own lane to see how they “Stay Connected” – They recently sat
down with half of the Bndp foundation to find out just that. Other interviews include Sal Morale,
Roxy Cottontail, Jason Woodside & Mick Boogie you can check by clicking HERE
