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.

WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN!?!? Part 1

January 5th, 2010

So I know it’s been a long time since the last post around here. It’s not because of any other reasons than we’ve been busy here at MadGods. That –and we were suppose to launch a new version of the site in December and I wanted to wait until just before it would launch before I started to post stuff again. Then that date got pushed back. The good news is the launch date is now near. So here I am, posting again. There are a lot of new developments around here, some of which I am about to tell you about, and some which I am just going to give clues. But if I didn’t take the month off I would have just posted a bunch of holiday wishes, X-mas mix-tapes and Top 10 lists. You’ve been spared all of that my friends. So, where to start?

Well we spent most of the lead up to the holidays printing. This is natural if you want your stuff to be in stores in time for the post thanksgiving shopping season. Several new and old accounts got their goodies in the batches you see here. Yellow Rat Bastard in New York, The Ark in Vancouver, Showtime In Detroit and several Japanese accounts are shown here being prepared for shipment.

There’s a lot of prepping, counting and sorting going on. Recounting, packing, shipping, invoicing and all that.img_0675img_0678img_0703img_0704Eventually you have a bunch of boxes full of shirts that go different places. Most of it gets shipped out, and then the rest goes into back stock, like you see here below.sessions-808Then we sit back and look at all the stuff we still need to deal with but we’re happy because at least it’s organized.

I’ll tell you more about that in the next posts but before then here are some clues to some of the other projects that began over the holidays while you were sleeping off the Turkey.
