Found these brilliant 40oz inspired creations over at this blog. They’re art pieces created by Gary Garay, but I think these popsicles would sell like crazy. Remember being a kid and a breeze would bring you the whisper of a melody, just a note or two, and you and your friends bolted like rats inside to grab up some change from your dresser or the couch, because you knew what was on the way? Fuckin ice cream man! If you were lucky, that truck would come creeping down your street. Now imagine if you could have bought a popsicle that proudly displayed your affiliation to the west west y’all? Now if these 40 oz pops actually tasted like malt liquor then there’d really be something to these. Too bad booze doesn’t really freeze.

Featured Artist: Kuya

willingly or unwillingly, legal or illegal, those who walk through the world with open eyes can’t avoid graffiti anymore. i write kuyAlive a.k.a. kuya USC. HOM. SUK. a graffiti writer first,editorial cartoonist, sculptor, and illustrator, also involved with meeting of styles, tribal clique, fokai so. cal project, shriiimp, various MMA projects and graff-camp USA. I started to write graff in 92, even though growing up in a rough neighborhood isn’t really anything to glorify, i was inspired by the graffiti styles seen in the jungle streets on the west coast. at the time i had no idea where this would lead me or where this movement would go. in the course of time my hobby became serious and i wanted to give it direction to keep it interesting. each writer is influenced by nearly everyone and being a graffiti artist one should develop something of your own. to inspire future generations enabling the movement to proceed. like most teenagers i was already into drawing, most of my friends were already doing graffiti so it was only natural that i become involved with the graffiti scene. i prefer ‘ speed graffiti’ the rush cause it’s most fun. and that’s what it’s really about. it’s a combination of classic style technique, 3-D, and simple fills, formed into a balanced shape making it easier for my letterstyle to be understood, without making the use of characters to give it character.but, characters do help, characters are also important cause you can reach alot more people. but, in a world of graffiti, letters are essential. Having collaborated with graffiti artist such as CAN2, Persue, and Brisk one, my skills and techniques developed quickly. i am very lucky to be part of this pioneering event and thankful to all the writers i’ve met around the world. Because graffiti is still so young and new, it’s still possible to set new standards and bring something dynamic to the culture.

1. Their name is brilliant.

2. Their site design is sick. Designed like a rad 80’s arcade game, navigate just like you did when you were crushing Donkey Kong back in ‘86.

3. They’re slanging silver & gold plated O.E. bottle pendants:

If you’re interested in getting one, or checking out all their other rad gear, go to hancholo.com. They’ve got a large variety of bad ass belt buckles, rings, bracelets, necklaces, etc. Oh, and if you’d like to get yourself one of these 40oz pendants, check out the pricing below. So for the price it’d cost you to get around 1000 O.E. 40’s, you can get a 14k gold necklace of an O.E. 40oz.

• 100 year old lumber mill, rooftop bbq, graffiti room,
• Two kegs, 12 handles, thirty-six 40oz’s of malt liquor, 50 bottles of homebrew
• One 6 ft tall pinata
• DJ spinning nasty baby-making House
• 5 beer pong tables, 30 person flip cup game, beer bong
• Paint, spraypaint, paint pens, pig’s blood

The original plan was for all the drunk asses to crash in the warehouse, so we could all get crazy without getting behind the wheel. Destruction ensued: the walls, livers, dance floor, massive pinata, furniture, nothing was safe. And leave it to P.J. to be the only person we know to get kicked out of his own birthday party.

All in all, the first inaugural Notsoberfest was a hit and next year’s should be even wilder. Check out the photo gallery and see it for yourself.
