Wear The Dream!

I finally got my Champagne Dreams website up. The Shoppe is fully stocked with my fall line for only $15 a tee, or hit me up on Facebook for the homey price. Thank you to all the supporters so far, hopefully more good things are to come. Im also looking to get my line into local retailers hands so if you're interested I do have a lookbook on hand. Thanks to Elton G.H. for modeling for this season, he doesn't come cheap.
In addition, be on the lookout for the Champagne Dreams x Freelance Worldwide collaboration dropping real soon!

Pipe Dreams Grand Opening

Pipe Dreams Hilton store grand opening was a success. Big ups to Jason and Wayne for masterminding the project, I know they've been stressing over the last few months trying to make everything work. Didn't get to paint the inside of the store but it was probably for the best because I only would've got in the way and held up the opening haha.

Build the track..

Got a chance to hook up with Gary from Js4Kix for a booth space at Build The Track at Aloha Tower last month. Its crazy to see that after all these years people are still going strong with their movement to get the track going again. When it was open I got to go a few times with my boy Jerry from Speed Syndicate. It was crazy to see all the different kinds of cars unite from street cars to classics to drag cars to motorcycles to 4 wheelers to remote controlled.

The booth setup.


My favorite car of the day was this orange flamed up Corvette





Chance Customs orange hurst mobile with custom painted medieval floral pattern on the rims custom painted by Mike Quering


Small kine look at Gary's vip murdered out Lexus


Loving this color scheme


Princess motorcycle done by Mike Quering as well


Suuuuper clean Chevy engine

Apex the first

Apex was one of the dopest events i've been to in a while. The dancing was clean, and no beefs. The rap battle was mean. The live painting smelt like ling hing mui. MMA in the parking lot. Overall great event with chooooke people in attendance. I was selling Champagne Dreams tees at the event and was also supposed to live paint but people were bummed about the space alotted so I took the backseat until the next event. Apex 2 next year??

Inflatable screen to PS3 connection.


The tees.


Setting up the paint wall

The team and Kaweeks straight chillin


The all styles battle was the shit! Homey dancing had his Wall Street gators on.


Hype something (their name keeps changing!?) in the all styles. My boy G busted out like 8 splits and killed it. Groans from all the men in the crowd could be heard each time.


Almost Finished. Affiliated, Defend Hawaii and Freelance being repped on one side of the board.


Altoe, Beak3 and some other hooligans on the other side.

Catching up..

Over the last few years since i've become self employed i've pretty much just stayed in the house alllll the time. Times is hard without the constant security of a paycheck and a schedule so I had to watch what I did time wise and dime wise. Things are finally starting to pay off a little and i've been able to do a little more here and there and its so good to be able to get out and hang with the homies more. Here some stuff from the early summer that I didn't get to post.

We finally bought Mario Kart for Wii. Two words for you.. Rainbow Road!


Ryan Jacobie grand opening w/live painting by the one and only Rival'e


After that we headed over to Next Door


Then to Manifest. Two more words for you... Grape Drink!


Greatest night ever, dont even remember half of it. But theres plenty of video and pictures out there.


Getting the tree riding down.


Snappers Waikiki, Dj Baumers nightclub debut, Zac playing music, Cindy's berfday and chillin with Jason.


Trying to get people on the bandwagon of Waiola Shave Ice bandwagon. My hometown location.


EVRiders teaming up with another group of random riders for a total of 14 riders that night. If you have a bike and a face book, add us "Elite Velo Riders" and come out and ride.

About 2 1/2 years ago while doing a show at the Blaisedell I met a man by the name of Duke and his wife Kiki. Duke had just quit his job and said was homeless but he was happy because he following his champagne dream of selling tshirts. Fast foward to now, his tshirt biz Freelance Clothing is booming and he lives in a mansion in Kahala and holds large bboy events in his living room. His mansion is being renovated right now so he has to hold Apex at Fresh Cafe this saturday, June 12th. It's looking to be a pretty dope event with live painting, special guests, choke give aways, dope vendors and good times. I will be live painting as well as pushing Champagne Dreams tees so come down and support to help fund Duke and Kiki to finish their mansion renovations!
