Karmaloop TV stopped in to our launch party for the inaugural Dust La Rock-curated Artist Series, featuring artwork by Cody Hudson and JK5 emblazoned across exclusive FG tees and prints. Cop them exclusively at 536 Metropolitan, open Monday-Saturday from noon till 6pm. For more from the party, peep Brook Bobbins’ gallery from the night.
Every single piece of Fool’s Gold artwork – each individual record sleeve, flyer, logo, shirt, etc – has sprung direct from the mind of our inimitable art director Dust La Rock. He’s a connoisseur! So it’s no surprise that Dust’s unique sense of taste extends beyond his own work to that of his friends and peers. Knowing that, we put together the Fool’s Gold Artist Series – a collection of limited-edition projects curated by Dust, featuring newly commissioned graphics by some of his own personal favorites.
The series launches with t-shirts and prints by Chicago’s Cody Hudson and BK’s own JK5. Come through this Thursday (8/4) as we host a special artists reception at the FG store, 536 Metropolitan, from 7-9pm. And check the guys sporting their respective tees after the jump. Read More
You already know how psyched we are about the Fool’s Gold store, 536 Metropolitan. Why wouldn’t we be? It’s a one-stop shop for all things FG, from records to gear to collaborations.
Speaking of collabs, this fall we’re launching a line of custom Fool’s Gold headphones with the Copenhagen-based AiAiAi, based on their acclaimed TMA-1. In the meantime, we’re stocking the standard-issue TMA’s at the store, along with their earbud cousins, the AiAiAi “Pipes.” 536 Metropolitan is the exclusive Brooklyn retailer for these, so come down and pick up a pair.

“We put so much time and energy in planning remixes and making the artwork look good, the store needed to have the same vibe.”
Billboard talked to Nick Catchdubs about the FG retail store 536 Metropolitan, check it out here. And then come check us at the store, open Monday thru Saturday from noon until 6pm on Metropolitan Ave (between Union and Lorimer) in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
We teamed up with the Italian company Pijama to create a custom, limited-edition line of Fool’s Gold-designed soft cases for your laptop (13″, 15″ and 17″ sizes), iPad, and iPhone / digital camera.
We are biased of course, but damn these are luxurious, with a fine grey herringbone pattern on the outside and a bold hit of Fool’s Gold yellow on the inside and the carrying loop. These Pijama cases are exclusive to the FG retail superstore 536 Metropolitan, come through and feel up on ’em while they last. Read More
