Scrills — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 20:21:56 +0000

As we continue to show you the journey to the realization of our Stay True Project, we caught up with talented illustrator/animator/toy designer – Jared Deal. We hung out with him at his spot in Brooklyn NYC and had a great shoot. Really cool dude and the interview went well. Jared along with a partner (Garnet Syberg-Olsen) have been putting out toys/work under their company – Carnival Cartoons and from the looks of it, they’ve got some heat. Thanks for the bagels and juice too, Jared! I took pictures from the shoot of course and here they are. Enjoy and keep checking in with us to know when you’ll be seeing the interview. It’s a good one…we’re going to be working with Jared on a couple of things in the near future too so stay tuned.

here’s Jared….

I mentioned briefly that we were working on a top secret project for our brand and I’ve been giving hints here and there. As you may now know, the project revolves around our brand motto -Stay True. Still not ready to reveal all the details yet but we’ll be dropping more info as we move along with the project. First, I put up pics of our shoot with master toy sculptor/designer Dave Cortes and now I have some pics from a shoot with Ali Vegas.

Ali Vegas is one of the dopest rappers in the game and if you can remember, I wrote about him a while back…This cat is ill. Period. Google him, youtube him, do whatever you have to…and you’ll see the talent and track record. Not only is he an ill MC, he’s also an intelligent individual and it’s cool to see rap cats that are actually smart….We reached out to him to get involved with our Stay True project and he welcomed us with open arms. Thanks to his manager Mike Brinks for making it happen too. Here’s a couple of pics from the shoot…the video interview will drop real soon. Trust me, you don’t want to miss it. I’m officially calling it the best Ali Vegas interview ever…yeah ever…

Check out Ali at www.myspace.com/alivegas
Also, there might be a Cookies x Cream brand/Ali Vegas mixtape in the near future…you’ll just have to wait and see but you know it’ll be dope…expect nothing less.

STAY TRUE.

The driving force behind our brand has always been our motto – Stay True. The lifeblood of our brand lies in those words. It is the very essence of what the Cookies -n- Cream brand is all about and has become the message we try to push forward with our brand. “Stay True” to us basically means stay true to yourself and do what you love regardless of anyone’s opinion. Be yourself and push ahead with whatever dreams or aspirations you may have. Be fearless and prepared to conquer any challenges that may/will step in your way of you achieving your goals. It’s a powerful message and we wouldn’t be where we are today without that motto. We’re presently working on a project based around that motto and while we’re not ready to reveal details about the project yet, we can show you some sketches of what our “Stay True” logo will look like for the project….Enjoy…by the way notice that we used KITO as an exclamation mark. How ill is that?

I’m super excited about the project and I can promise that it’ll be dope as hell…You can quote me on that.
