IRAK Artist Series Opening Recap

Posted on May 8th, 2012

This past Friday we launched the fifth Fool’s Gold Artist Series event, featuring work from the whole IRAK crew. Tons of folks came through to celebrate and check out the new pieces – which you can still see up close and in person at the FG store on 536 Metropolitan Ave in Brooklyn. We’ve got some shots after the jump.

Get the last remaining IRAK x FG Artist Series tees on our webstore. And check more pics on Mass Appeal, Fresh Paint and Focus Camp (we snagged some of their crowd shots at the end). Read More

FG Artist Series #5: Irak

Posted on Apr 27th, 2012

The Fool’s Gold Artist Series in-stores give us a chance to turn our store into a gallery, show off some new work and exclusive items from talent curated by FG art director Dust La Rock, and invite everyone to come and hang.

Following exhibitions from Cody Hudson and JK5, Daniel Albrigo, HAZE and Grotesk (you might have seen the last one pop up on your television), the next takeover of our wall will feature new multimedia work from none other than New York’s infamous Irak crew. You don’t want to miss this one…

Come through to the opening on Friday, May 4th from 7-9pm at the FG store on 536 Metropolitan Ave in Brooklyn. Artists will be in attendance, refreshments will be served, and limited edition shirts will be available (we’ll have them on the webstore too, act fast). Read More

"Blue Chips" Cover Hits Complex

Posted on Mar 9th, 2012

Complex just premiered the Shaqtastic cover art (by the one and only Dust La Rock) for Action Bronson and Party Supplies’ Blue Chips, out next week. They also leaked the tracklist, which reveals guest spots from Roc Marciano, Meyhem Lauren and Das Racist, as well as a song named after billionaire swag icon “Steve Wynn.” Suffice it to say, this one is going to be a jammer. Watch for it on complex.com this coming Monday. Read More

We’re proud to present new work from HAZE as part of our Fool’s Gold Artist Series. As a teaser of what the opening has in store, Dust La Rock linked up with the ink master at his BK studio and brought back some pics and video for you to enjoy. (Eagle eyed FG fans will recognize the gold frame design from the HAZE piece that adorns the front of our store!)

FG Artist Series #1: Cody Hudson & JK5

Posted on Jul 29th, 2011

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
