    P.Y.T.: Design Jacking 101

    February 15, 2010 | Posted By: | news · Uncategorized |

    The P.Y.T. design has been an amazing door opener for the Status Apparatus brand. Its unique spin on “woman of the moment” Amber Rose has been the source of its momentum. Beyond that, its just aesthetically pleasing and I’d like to thank all of the people who have supported it by way of purchase and kind words. Tastemaker, Music Fan, and all around cool guy Ryan Lyons recently contacted me about what can only be seem as outright blatant design jacking. Mr. Lyons contacted me and asked if I heard of Rap artist Cyhi The Prince. Upon my saying that I hadn’t, he sent the video for his double feature video “Studda & Im 100″ posted below

    At about the 4:46 mark, I saw this:

    and FiNALLY

    Here’s 2 reasons why I think that this is more than a coincidence.

    1. Here is the original Complex shoot pic that the above shirt design was taken from. A shadowy picture of Amber Rose.

    2. The fact that is in fact Amber Rose with a red band that is the length of the picture. In addition, the red band on the side of Amber Rose is almost the exact same shade as the P.Y.T. design.

    The Status Apparatus design was in existence far earlier than the post date (December 2009) of the video. Without feeding too much into the negativity or  dismay that this may create for the average group of people, we are not such beings. All we ask is that you pay close attention to the execution our version of the concept. The red band on the side on the Status Apparatus design reads “STATUS”. Attention to detail my friends. Just wanted to bring it to the attention of our fans. Support the line! Much more greatness is ahead for us! Thank you…we are flattered.

    December 31, 2009 | Posted By: | down by law · news |

    Baltimore rapper, Sir Tizzy recently dropped his first mixtape entitled The Wackness. I’m proud of this mixtape for many reasons which I will name in sequence of importance to me.

    2. Tizzy understands what good hip-hop is and it shows in this mixtape.

    3.I rapped on track 12.

    4.I produced 6 tracks on the mixtape.

    Iron Hype 3/4 Quarter Raglan- This Mike Tyson Design was done  by Designer Thomas Kuriatko, a digital artist, whose work has been in many publications including Format Magazine.

    STATUS APPARATUS X THOSEGIRLSAREWILD.COM

    October 22, 2009 | Posted By: | news |

    THOSEGIRLSAREWILD.COM is a site that I frequent. The beautiful chaos that is this site is run by and Canadians Andrea Lewis (right) and Shannon Boodram (left). It is a hilarious series of blog entries and youtube videos about whatever these two are feeling that day. The entries are always insightful, witty, and most of all: entertaining.

    Anrea Lewis is an actross (Degrassi: The Next Generation among her works), singer, writer and all around cool lady.

    Shannon Boodram is a writer, a photographer,television host and all around cool lady.

    Ms. Boodram is the author of a new book entitled Laid.  Here’s a brief description of the book, straight from Shannon’s site:

    About Laid: Laid is the title of Shannon’s book that is going to be released through Seal Press in October 2009. Laid is a non-fiction anthology that takes a peer mediation approach to sexual education. Youth ages 18-25 across North America were asked to share a life changing sexual experience they went through in their teens. Contributors were asked to share their stories as though they were telling it to a best friend, lecturing was prohibited. As a result, Laid is not your typical sexual education book. It’s raw, honest, steamy, scary, inspiring and eye opening stories. The book is separated into five chapters based on five common young adult sexual scenarios: hookups, positive experiences, physical consequences, date rape and abstinence. No two stories are alike but in each chapter you will find the following components: a chapter intro, a question and answer section that addresses issues touched upon in each chapter and finally an activity that challenges the reader to derive their own lessons from other’s experiences. Laid’s has contributors who share positive stories as well as those who have dealt with teenage pregnancy, abortion, STI contraction, hookups, date rape, sexual abuse and living with HIV.”

    The book is amazing and can be found on Amazon here.

    So PICK UP THE BOOK A.S.A.P. It’s an amazing read!!!!!!!

    So….what’s just as exciting as Laid coming out??? THOSEGIRLSAREWILD.COM went on a blog tour to promote the book and guess where one of their stops was??? You guessed it…here. Below is a youtube video that these ladies from the north did for Status Apparatus.  It is amazing for many-a-reasons. Big thank you to Shannon and Andrea!

    There’s more!!! In addition there will be a contest through THOSEGIRLSAREWILD.COM AND STATUSAPPARATUS.COM ending November 6th 2009 in which you can win a Status Apparatus T-shirt!!! All you have to do is answer this question: “What is your Status Apparatus?”  The most creative answer will win!!!!!! Shoot on over to http://www.thosegirlsarewild.com for more details.

Why is this so hard you ask?  The lack of unity and exposure of local artists is a well known fact and Lyons is looking to remedy that.  ABLT is down by law. Check out the site here.

    Who is on the P.Y.T. Shirt?

    September 10, 2009 | Posted By: | new product · news |

    The question of the year has been…who is on the Status Apparatus P.Y.T. shirt?

    image4

    The answer is model Amber Rose. She has gained some notoriety for dating hip-hop genius Kanye West and just being extremely beautiful and existing on earth. She has graced the pages of every magazine imaginable lately including a shoot with Complex Magazine shown below:

    I sent her the link to the site via Twitter (my name is tempotandrum on there), seeking a response to the design and this is what I got from her:

    Amber Rose approves of PYT shirt
    Amber Rose approves of PYT shirt

    So it is official…Amber approves of the Status Apparatus P.Y.T. shirt. Very dope my friends. Come get the shirt from our Stockists or Online Store while supplies last (they are extremely limited)!

    We Believe: Shirt In Stores!!!

    April 10, 2009 | Posted By: | new product · news |

    This last couple of weeks has been very eventful. Today was one of the hugest events in the line’s short short short short history. A shirt designs made it into a great streetwear shop in Baltimore. The name of the place is Pedestrian and it is located in the Fellspoint, a section of Downtown Baltimore (more info on Pedestrian to come later in the post).

    The story of how I came across this shop as a potential seller is interesting. More than 7 months ago, armed with a look book (a book that with a series of preview of designs), I stormed into Pedestrian. I showed the manager Garth some of my work, and he seemed slightly impressed (…only slightly). He gave me a great deal of really helpful suggestions and went back to the lab (or computer). With the guy that was printing my t-shirts, it took almost a year to get 3 designs printed up. Yeeeesh! The project started last summer and we only got the shirts back towards the beginning of the winter. So after the brunt of the winter season subsided, I took another look book into Garth. He loved a couple and he chose this one for a small run.

    Here is the shirt
    ENTRY01_02
    It was changed a bit in the process (resized and what not). Here is the shirt.
    ENTRY01_01I got a few printed up from the difficult ordeal with the shirt printer. So all I had to do now was get them ready to be put out on the hangers. While speaking to Garth I realized that I hadn’t really thought much about a gun to tag the shirts. He gave me a catalog with a place in Philadelphia that had tagging guns. I had to get it right so I tested it out on a spare shirt. The first couple of times were epic fails but eventually I got the hang of it.

    Hint: The price tags are pretty unique. Check them out. First run of the shirts are tagless. Yup.
    ENTRY01_04

    I included some stickers in the mix too
    ENTRY01_05

    Packaged it all up…and away we went to Pedestrian.
    ENTRY01_06

    1707 Aliceanna street.

    Fells Point, M.D. 21231

    pedestrian410@gmail.com
    ENTRY01_08

    While exploring after I gave Garth the box of shirts, I made a very interesting discovery. Pedestrian’s Garth had our shirt on!!!!!! Word. Had to take a pic.
    ENTRY01_09

    Take note of the poorly put together box strengthened by Status Apparatus stickers. Deep. In summary, great beginning. Visit Pedestrian. Small run of M-XXL shirts. When the blog entry comes gets posted on the Pedestrian site…the link will be posted. In the meantime…get them while you can! More colorways coming soon.

    Here’s the address again!
