New Work From Kassia Meador at AR4T’s “Cloud Hunters”

Richard Phillips calls Punks & Poets team member Kassia Meador a "21st century renaissance artist who brings a mastery to everything she does, and whose contagious energy simply changes everything around her in a positive way." We feel similarly, which is why you shouldn't miss her new gallery show Cloud Hunters at AR4T (Artists Republic 4 Tomorrow, 210 North Coast Highway, Laguna Beach, California). 

Kassia will be debuting new work alongside fellow artist Gomez Bueno from May 2 (the opening reception kicks off tomorrow, May 2, 2013 at 6pm) through May 26, 2013. Be there, or miss out. 

CCS Stance Party Recap

Stance Socks Parties at Smog Shoppe in LA

Because we like to keep it real-life, we recently invited our finest friends and a good chunk of our Punks & Poets team to hang out at Smog Shoppe in Los Angeles to eat, drink, celebrate socks (and drink some more). Our crew put on the gathering to show off a respectable collection of collaborations from Tyler Warren, Cycle Zombies, Mark Oblow, Brian Bent, Kassia Meador, Kid Creature, Keep A Breast and Imogene Barron. Because each collection is as different as it is covetable, we let the socks shine in their own way—from a gallery of artist-designed breast casts from Keep A Breast to a cat-themed photobooth from Imogene Barron. To top it off, we all got a little bent out of shape (in the best way) while watching a contortionist do her thing in some of our favorite women's sock styles—good ol' fashioned fun. Check out more snaps from the soirée at gabeone.com/stance.

CR-2013

In July of 2012, 30-plus friends came together, bu way of motorcyles, and gathered around a campfire outside Jackson Hole, Wyoming. A conversation arose and some loose, foolish ideas were thrown out... 5 of those friends committed and ran with those ideas. 

5 friends. 3 States. 7 countries. 6,000+ miles. 

From their front porches in SLC to the Panama Canal. Follow and support their journey on instagram at @cr_2013.
