New Release: "The Bay Makes The World Takes” By DOC® for Oaklandish

"The Bay Makes The World Takes” By DOC® for Oaklandish available at 10am PST / 1pm EST @ Link in bio.

This 7-piece capsule pays homage to my roots as a designer, artist, and Bay Area native celebrating The Bay’s global influence.

The Bay has historically thrived by embracing its uniqueness and fostering local talent. Our validation often originates within our communities first, not through external opinion.

But when Too $hort moved to Atlanta and the Raiders left The Town for L.A., the notion of having to leave the Bay for ‘better opportunities’ was first planted in my mind. Up until that point, I was surrounded by the culture and passion of landmark moments like the A’s winning the World Series, the 49ers dominating football, and Run TMC performing in front of the livest NBA audiences.

So when I too, chose to ‘leave the Bay’ and pursue my dream of becoming a designer, it put back into focus what I had actually left behind. I saw the uniqueness of my influences and upbringing as an asset. My surroundings instilled a particular kind of grit, hustle, and underdog mentality in me. I’ve carried this mentality and inspiration everywhere I go.

This capsule celebrates those who spread Bay Area culture wherever they arrive. Unlike teams that leave the Bay— when locals leave ‘The Town’, they forever carry its essence within them.

It was all a dream.. Still is. (See my interview on KRON 4 / Bay Area)

Growing up my dream was to work for Nike. What I didn’t realize is that you never stop dreaming. You never stop wanting more, you never stop pushing the finish line further. After working on the biggest project of my life, I finally understood that my dream to work at Nike was just a goal. Since I started designing and creating work for millions of people that I was already living my dream. Being KRON 4 news in the Bay brings my story full circle. Can’t wait to show you what’s next.

Sketch to Reality - Never Stop Drawing

From sketch to reality.
Drawing has always been a communication tool for me. As a conceptual designer, I was trained to visually communicate ideas as a means to solve problems. My ability to draw, translates into concepts for t-shirt designs, technical apparel, footwear, lookbooks, and photoshoots without having to necessarily explain it in words.

You may look at my illustrations at face value and like who it is or what they’re wearing, but these are visions I see beyond what’s on ‘paper.’ These are often visions I hope to turn into reality. 😉 💭

I appreciate anyone that supports our independent business. We need you to support us by sharing our brand and buying our products , so we can turn these these sketches & dreams into reality. I really feel we have the next great brand in the making.

Check out my initial sketches that helped shape the Spring 2021 Trophy Hunting® collection. Ps: It looks even better in real life

Trophy Hunting® Spr '21 "Outdoor Basketball Club" - D1

Trophy Hunting® A New Collection By DOC®

On September 16th I’m launching of a new brand called “Trophy Hunting” with a some of the most creative and smart people I’ve known for a long time. Check the site here to see what it’s all about.

With the initial launch, I wanted to pay homage to what inspired me the most to do what I do today. Oracle Arena was home of the Warriors for my entire life. The teams, the fans and even the building gave this team it’s legendary character that was definitely influenced by the surroundings of the East Bay.

For this launch we created a street memorial with details that help tell a romantic story about the teams move to SF. Just like most of my work, the every inch of this was designed. From the flowers to the memorabilia. But best of all the product is 2nd to none.

New concrete absorbs 880 gallons of water a minute [Video]

When water hits Topmix Permeable concrete, it doesn't flow in all directions, slicking up the surface.

It flows in one direction — down. And it vanishes almost instantly.

Traditional concrete has to be permeable enough to let a minimum of 300 millimeters of water an hour through to the ground level. That allows it to safely handle a major storm event every 100 years. 

Topmix Permeable, in contrast, lets through 36,000 millimeters of water an hour, or approximately 880 gallons every minute.
