I’ve been working with Skinny Buddha and The NOC crew since the giddyup. It’s a solid bond and we keep one another energized like pink bunnies with drums each and every step of the way. Building an ark to carry our precious treasures and potions of intoxicating creations we set out across the nation spreading the word of sages and leaving a trail of masses screaming for more. As collaborators in a saucy day and age such as this it is rewarding providing platforms to endorse those who strive passionately with their spirited appetites and create a means of structure to grow together. Is a reciprocated, viciously beautiful cycle of power we pass back and forth so when the lacy gems of brilliance come to fruition the bounty is shared and we dine like blazing lions fresh on the kill. For we are always hungry…
Here’s the latest blast on the NOC apparel designed by the Beery. Love touch action tees blessed with the iconic NOC logo. This time around I switched up the classic logo branding the beer bottle of the C and swapped in a spilling oil drum paying homage to the South Atlantic and the BP bullshit. We love our coasts. That’s where we enjoy our fun in the sun carnage. Seriously it is an incredible force working with solid talent. Expect another explosive year…Beery Method + Skinny Buddha = 2011!
Classic NOC logo illustrates the groups fresh flavors through letter elements. The “N” – Joint and hand sort of implying the bird though not literally. The “O” – an eye peering out surrounded by teeth: the old there is more to the inner sense and style that will hit you when the lyrical mouth lets loose and the snake eating itself (ouroboros): The Ouroboros represents self reflexivity or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return of K Sos and The NOC The “C” – The lyricists best friend the pencil. A tipped bottle of booze “pour out a little liquor”! and the wave: giving homage to Florida roots.
The NOC Oil Logo boasts the same classic graphics except for changing up the top element of the C. We agreed that an oil drum and monochromatic color scheme would enhance the logo for the Southern crowd. After playing with some color ways we had a vivid velvet purple and royal blue that really made the printing pop off the black garments. Below is the muted ‘oil’ color way.
