The return of Krampus!

He’s returning for another HolidaySeason and if you want to be sure he stops by your home this year you may want to order early! I am of course talking about Krampus. St Nick’s personal muscle. He comes around to dole out corporal punishment to all the bad little boys and girls. We will be...

#40 The Mondo Skull Fez

The 2nd of two designs I created for Mondo Lounge III at Palms Hotel in Vegas this weekend.

#37 The Cthulhu Prototype Fez

In his house at R’lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming… wearing this spiffy fez! This is one of those designs I had been contemplating doing for a long time.

Tiki Oasis Preview 3 #tikio

Tiki Oasis Preview 2 #tikio

Only two more days until we load the car! Next up on our preview: the Limited Edition Afriti on 2 Tone Leopard! This is a new design inspired by numerous ideas. I wanted to do something with the leopard print but the very nature of natural camouflage makes it difficult to design on, hence the two tone fez. The...
