WEEK 2 - Allow me to reintroduce myself...

Building Building Building.... ahhh..... I am really happy to announce that we have acquired 3 New Apprentices from New Design High School. Their names are Karina, Adam, And Keilly. Karina And Keilly are in the 10th grade, Adam is in the 11th. These kids are great! All these kids are great. The New Design Students have a lil more background in design since they come from a design school, But they fell right into the program with no problems.

Karina And Keilly have some background in fashion, they have a sewing class, Adam is lil up and coming Graf artist, as soon as he got to the studio he showed me his lil black book, the graf artist bible. With their skills combined i see these kids putting out some serious product!


The El Puente Kids, have Narrowed down their Brand Name to 2MRW(Tommorows Future). We went through different typefaces they would want to use and symbols. They are real Happy with the name and can't wait to see it on the back of their shirts. Before they started the program, they really didnt kick it with each other, but now i see them really opening up with each other, and becoming a good team.


The New Design Kids got to print up their own shirt. Adam Chose a TRUST YOUR STRUGGLE design called "Intifada". Because of his Palenstinian background, he really liked this design.

Karina Liked the Nehanda Design, and she chose to print it up on a slate color shirt, with orange ink instead of red.










They started to brainstorm their brand name, and I was really impressed by what they were coming up with on the spot and the way they were building with each other. Cant wait til next week, as always!

SPECIAL THANKS TO JONATHAN OSLER & SARAH BALTAZAR FOR HOOKING ME UP WITH ALL THESE KIDS!
