HeadChop!

As you probably noticed, I am pretty bad at this blogging thing! Apologies. Since the last blog, I've gotten married, moved my whole entire studio and opened HeadHood's first legit store, HeadChop. So yeah, I guess you could say I've been pretty busy . Martha Ellen and I have been hard at work at HeadChop Hairs and Wears conveniently located at 86 Berry St. Brooklyn, NY. No more having to walk blocks and blocks in search of my studio! Here you'll find a massive array of HeadHoods that aren't available online, lots of artwork, and great people hanging out. If you stop by, you'll probably see my wife Martha Ellen busy cutting hair. Lot's going on here. I am currently working on new designs for this fall and holiday season, so stay tuned. Hope all is good in your hood!

HeadHoods bricoolage

If you haven't noticed on the site, I now offer some of the classic styles. Instead of printing them on the hood, I am experimenting with sewing on preprinted and pre cut faces. Gives the hoods a more homemade and original feel. While experimenting in this manner, I get a lot of head scraps lying around like this. They make for interesting pieces. Reminds me of the collages I used to do with newsprint and wheatpaste in local bathrooms. I think I'll start putting some of these under plexi and call them art.

Happy New Hood

What better way to bring in the new year with Gumby.

Dwell Done!

A nice little write up was done on the HeadHoodQuarters by Dwell just last week.

Send me your hood.

I had the privilege of getting to revamp a nice Helmut Lang jacket the other week. It's fun to give old clothing a new life.

Full steam ahead hood.

I get hoods with a little help from my lady friend. :)

HeadHoods are getting sew cool.

You may have noticed that alot of the HeadHoods have sewn on faces these days. Not only do I feel these newly embellished are better looking and more authentic, they make life a little easier over here. This new method allows me to spend a little less time at the press and a little more time at the sewing machine, which is feeling pretty good these days. I'm looking forward to creating more of my HeadHoods in this manner and introducing reintroducing more and more styles. Sew Cool!

Thank you Brooklyn's Living With Animals gallery for letting me hang my works for the month. Come visit! Will be up till the 19th of December. There is a vast array of affordable work still hanging.

Hanging around up in Chicago

thanks Jordan of 360 SEE gallery in Chicago for hanging some of HeadHoods latest in it's gallery.

HeadHoods has moved yet again

Yes, I know. I just can't seem to stay settled these days. I am currently still in Williamsburg at what used to be an old photo studio and the light is amazing. I am a little off the beaten path at Grand Street and Morgan Ave. I still very much like visitors and understand it isn't the easiest of places to get to. If you want to visit, shoot me an email and I'll do my best to arrange a time for you to come out!
