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.

SXSW Q&D Part 2C: MB party as shot by Dustin Downing

March 31st, 2009

REEEEEEWIND<<<

Last night after posting about Tuesday and saying my next post would be about Wednesday I opened an email from our product shot specialist Dustin. Dustin was all over the place shooting pics for SXSW but he started at our party. He sent me the pics last night. So I’ll save the Wednesday post for Wednesday and in the meantime here should be the last installment of Massive Black party pics. Enjoy!

The Mohawk is where it all went down. When we were originally planning this party we were gonna do it at our warehouse. Even at that time I thought it would work better at the Mohawk. The layout would be perfect for this type of event. Multiple levels allowed for a carnivale atmosphere with different places to find yourself in. Then the call came in that the show would go on and it would be here. So yeah, here we go again.
