SoleGallery.com is an online collection of elements in the streetwear culture, with the main philosophy that sneakers (and t-shirts) are art.

Each designed under some influence and inspiration of the world around the artist. Everything has a story. Sometimes it’s the artist’s story, while other times the individual who wears, collect or showcase the goods.

SoleGallery.com is an online art gallery displaying exhibits of work. Some products and lines will come and go (like limited shows), while others will be permanent installations of the virtual gallery halls.

Sole Gallery’s curator promises to seek out products and stories that are the right fit for this experience.

Beautiful/Decay’s format is revolutionary in that it documents the convergence of fine art, graffiti, design and other relevant forms of art; exposing the magazine’s diverse readership to mediums that are not juxtaposed in any other independent publication. Over the last decade Beautiful/Decay has garnered a reputation for breaking never-before-seen artists, covering fine art with a youthful and informed point of view and being “THE” go-to handbook for Creative Directors in the know.

Founded on the theory that “if you can’t find it, make it”, Beautiful/Decay began as a small black & white zine started by Amir H. Fallah and high school friend Jay Littleton in the quiet suburbs of Fairfax Virginia in 1996. Taking the name from a quote by artist Barry Mcgee (Twist) in graffiti zine 12oz. Prophet, “Beautiful/Decay” described everything Amir loved about emerging art and underground culture. Since then, Amir and his partners, Ben Osher and Fubz, have taken the publication from a black & white zine with a 3000 copy circulation to a full color glossy publication with an international distribution of more than 40,000 copies. The bi-coastal publication has branched out to create Beautiful/Decay branded books, curate art shows, develop event sponsorship programs, as well as launch a highly sought after artist’s series apparel line and various limited edition products.

Serving as a trendsetting resource for curators, Creative Directors, collectors, and the like, Beautiful/Decay delivers the best in emerging art, design, music, and fashion to its readers.

Beautiful/Decay Shop specializes in carrying clothing, books, and accessories by independent artist based brands. The shop also carries Beautiful/Decays own artist based line which features clothing collaborations with featured artists from the magazine.

Since 1989, the Obey street art campaign has become an important urban phenomenon, subconsciously touching those well aware of their environment.

Through the vision of Shepard Fairey, Obey has evolved into one of the most controversial yet influential symbols of the 21st century. Derived from a pop-culture athlete in the eighties, the Obey icon has been bombed in developed and rural cities around the world. Its ambiguous idea immediately sparks philosophical discussion and ultimately motivates the inner-person through active participation.

With the help of Mike Ternosky and Erin Wignall, Obey Clothing continues to spread Shepard’s message through sportswear fashion and one-of-a-kind accessories. Each piece designed is cleverly thought out, attracting all genres and ages, reminding them of the days when “style” was a one syllable word. Obey Tees, sweats, vintage track jackets, belts, wallets and military inspired jackets and caps are examples of what we are known for.

‘All the Cream, None of the Crop’
From Nylon Guys magazine:

“We don’t review things we haven’t seen, bought, or used, and we don’t hype things that we don’t love. We keep it honest and that’s why our readers trust us,” explains Garrett Shane Bryant, founder of CrownDozen.com.

Bryant and his team of writers - most of whom are friends from his rural Kentucky home - have generated a content-rich site, hellbent on discovering the newest and next in art and culture. CrownDozen.com features interviews with comic-makers, artists, and illustrators - among them husband-and-wife illustration team Kozyndan and illustrator/painter Jeff Soto - and offers product reviews, event updates, and “Twelves,” the site’s amusing cache of Top 12 lists.

“Not everyone can or will buy $400 trainers,” says Bryant. “We’re just normal folk into cool shit and we like to tell you about it.” True dat.

Although we sell clothes, It is not about fashion for us, Lowercase Industry sits firmly and happily on the underground, Our product will never sit in every shop or store you come across, we wouldn’t want them to. Instead, we aim to provide Limited run art based products for people that appreciate unique things.

When it comes to our art prints, we always try and make them as screen prints if possible, we like things that have been made by humans putting paint on a surface, not churned out of a computer printer in the thousands.
Its the same with our shirts, we have sourced suppliers that screen print each shirt by hand, ensuring that every print we get is spot on. We also try to ensure our shirts are sweatshop free, its not something we want on our conscience. It costs us a bit more sure, but we reckon its well worth it.

We like to make things that feel special, we want our shirts to be your favourite shirt that you want to wear all the time.

Giving upcoming artists a stage to be seen on is important to us, with guest artist tees and featured bands in our sounds section, we try to give something back to the scene that we love.
