Few people know that the immediate Erhart family is deeply engrossed in the Nuclear Energy Field.  I graduated from high school from one of the towns of the Manhattan Project and my father continues his career int he field.  He’s been working on some incredible technology for G.E., lasers and such.  NPR has gotten wind of their work, and they are a little concerned.  As I was raised in the community, I’m a little biased, but now you know where I get my incredible engineering skills from!  Check out the article!

Big ups to Raphael Erhart riding Hoch-Ybrig in Switzerland, just a few hours south of our former home in Wurzburg Germany.  He’s reppin’ the Splatter Stripe Hoodie and the vintage scarf, both of which have been dropping in stores across the country.  Per usual, he kills it!

This is how we do graffiti!  First we put our tag on some beautiful hand crafted clothing, then we send it to awesome stores, where people purchase it and wear it on the streets.  The best part is that you don’t get paint on your hands! (or run from the cops)

This stack will be at Velouria’s new location on Capitol Hill in Seattle.  Since the line started, we’ve worked hard to get on this street, and we finally made it!  Rush over before they are all gone!

its important that the stickers and the art that goes up be really cool.  on closer inspection this one was done with a stamp.  totally love the offset checkered pattern and the color blocks with highlighter.

Few, its my last few hours in Telluride Colorado, and its been quite the adventure.  Let loose in a well provided for and party ski town has been an eye opening experience to say the least.  I think it could be summed up by the conversation I encountered on my ride back to town in the Gondola.  I sat with five other people and listened to them discuss the ski mountains that their private airplanes could reach.  Trying not to give my amusement away, I made eye contact with a mountain employee, and we both had to cover our mouths and hide our giggles.  Few!

In the end, I am walking away from the experience with an appreciation for my parents.  I remarked to my father that the trip to Telluride reminded me of our venture to Alexandria, Egypt, Christmas 2007, as it ended with a van ride through the mountains that hearkened our ride across the desert.  All my life, I have been handed incredible travel opportunities that have cost me little to nothing.  This was never more evident than today when I helped an older woman get out of her cross country skis, and she asked me how I learned.  “It was part of our P.E. curriculum in South Dakota,” I informed her, and saw the value of my experience compared to the lesson she payed for.

This trip to God’s country was covered by a grant I won through the Telluride AIDS Benefit organization, and I am thankful for it.  Here are a few of my trip, photos from the actual show will come with some editing (runway photography is tricky!)

Today I head out to Colorado for the annual Telluride AIDS Benefit Fashion Show! This is exciting because it is the first time my line will be showing, and I won a grant! Yep all expenses paid to go see my work on the runway! Wish me luck!  I’ll update with photos of the trip!

For me, color theory is a visual representation of the existential existance and releativity of the individuals of the world.  In other words, its how I think about things.   This is a visual time line of the colors Crayola has introduced, which shows that the number of hues double every 28 years.  That’s pretty incredible to a self proclaimed color expert (I can give you the pigment formula for any color).  Stop and give a moment to your favorite box of crayons.I would love to see a comparison to belton, the leading high end spray paint manufacture.

Doubleu Photo captured an an amazing shot of cousin Raphael repin’ his name in full!  Erharts know how to  look good and stay up.  Pictured is the Offset hoodie, available and shipping out across the nations.
