These guys know how to do it right. I found out about this shop from my friend at http://www.findingphilly.com He actually blogged about it to.
From the outside you see ducks along with Nike SB and as soon as you get in the store you are greeted kindly and a whole new experience is upon you. They definitely thought about the details and made great use of their retail space. From the jeans in woks in the kitchen, laces in tupperware, takeout boxes and even the classic plastic food shots on the wall. It's definitely stands out from the other "street wear" shops in Philadelphia. Its only been 6 weeks since their doors opened and the hype is building up like crazy. They already got featured on the Action news tonight. Definitely do not sleep on this shop. Visit them now! They are super nice and trying to make a new mark in Chinatown. They have brands you haven't seen in Philly before and the shoe collection is gorgeous. You can visit them in here

Philly in full effect here peoples! We knockin out chumps again and again!
ITS ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA
Possibly one of the most offensive and brutaly honest tv shows in a while and in the same time gut busting laughter. Little background for you non watchers, the characters are Dee, Mac, Dennis, Charlie and Frank, Dennis' & Dee's dad which is played by Danny Devito. The show is written and produced by all 3 and Mac directs some of the episodes along with Fred Savage. That's right, the dude from Wonder Years. It usually starts at the bar they own and then spreads out to the streets of Philly. Here's a clip from 1 of my favorite episodes where Dee ends up dating a rapper, but thinks he's mentaly retarded. So the boys feel like if he can do it, they can also be in a band.
Night Man
Day Man
They were shooting last Friday and couple flicks from the event will be posted soon.

sink or swim
Keep ya ahead afloat or go down where the sun dont shine and the creatures of the deep eat ya alive.
Been a rough couple weeks and this painting is pretty personal in a way where I think times are rough, all i gotta do is keep on swimming and stay afloat no matter what. The anchors in life will try and weigh you down to where you can't get back up, but all you gotta do is keep paddlin' and stay aflot.
part of a new series im working on. brighter canvases in the future when things turn around.
this is for sale. hit me up for any questions. eltoro215@gmail.com
