RDQLUS CREATIVE & RDQLUS Goods & Cloth, on the make!

Recently, I've been highly intrigued with my own curiosity and the discovering of new details in previously created things; finding the points missed, simplified ways of creating a top-quality product, and finding innovation—not only in discovering new things, but in discovering new finds in the combining of thing that already exist for other means. Visual and industrial "remixing" if you will.

For instance; a trip to the fabric store for heavy canvas, about an hour at my print studio and a blank rip-stop 5-panel hat yields a new classic streetwear piece that's turning heads with a combination of subtlety and classic boldness. Or how about some 550 paracord rope, a lack of buckles to complete a bracelet attachment, everything being too delicate for my tastes at the craft supply stores and a return to my childhood mentality of adaptation of materials for newly imagined uses convenient to my needs at the time and you get my unseen-before, industrial, 'RDQLUS' twist on the ever-popular paracord bracelet.

Ive said it many times, and will continue to; creativity is not about art, it's a life-skill based in necessity, curiosity and communication of ideas. There's always more to come where this came from, so stay posted.

RDQLUS Goods & Cloth Drops the Fall 2012 Gear.

For as long as I can keep it this way, I will always touch everything that goes out the door for RDQLUS Goods & Cloth side of the shop. That connection to the goods & cloth is more true than ever in the RGC Fall 2012 line; the loosely titled "Alpha Collection."

The concept is that of perfection in effort regardless of results, with tee motifs like "Build" and "Never A Flaw." Each product is concepted, printed and produced with deft touch and precision, but a certain subtle character as each item is hand-made which offers variables that make each feel like a 1-off. I even introduce a new custom ink called "Old Coin" which will be featured on many items this season.

Visit RDQLUS Goods & Cloth to have a look at some of the new line. New items will be added throughout the fall season.

Stay Gleaming!
