Much of MadGods inspiration is derived from the remnants of past culture. These veins of originality are no longer with us in the form of authentic style and rebellion that existed in the formative years of youth culture, music, skateboarding and the independent artist. Most only recognize the patterns left in the wake of original influence.

MadGods has always taken a fondness to the interpretation of our own subcultures by foreign voyeurs, more specifically, the methodical breakdown of western music and skateboarding imagery and styles by Japanese Otaku cool hunters at the turn of the millennium. Using this fondness as a filter of sorts, we touch on realms of thought that we once believed were slowly becoming extinct with a new generation of youth that don’t remember a world before the internet. Using a familiar aesthetic, we perfect the art of dressing sheep in wolf’s clothing.

sorta recent and relevant things…

March 3rd, 2009

 

I’m thinking of where to start with this ish. I’m wrapping up some plans for SouthBySayWhat!?! here in Austin so I don’t want to jinx all of that by talking about it here now. Instead i’m just gonna drop some love for some of the nice things that have happened to us recently online. 

The first thing that comes to mind was Failure on woostercollective  back in September.

There was also this dope blog that said some really nice things about the Gods. Ebony at HustleHardMagazine.com gave us the goodlook back in January when we debuted on 80′s Purple. She just found us browsing and had to let people know. Please check out her words from a former stranger at HUSTLEHARD!!!!

 

Nice shoot they did over at 80'sPurple.com

We did some tee’s for our friends at Peligrosa (shout out to Orion) who do a residency at Creekside, here in ATX.  Go there to get your drank and buhbump on if you’re in town. Here’s some pics of the tee’s.
