The Quiet Life - Joy

The Quiet Life is a small project from Los Angeles that is run by Andy Mueller
and Jennifer Pitt. Kevin Fernley joined the team in Oct. 2006.

Here's a little something about Andy:
Andy Mueller was raised in the mid-west on a healthy diet of BMX, skateboarding, music and magazines. At an early age, Andy became addicted to the art of image making and photo taking. In 1993, Andy founded OhioGirl Design, a small design/photo/film studio. In 1997, Andy started "The Quiet Life", as an outlet for purely creative ideas, with a few friends from within OhioGirl.

Originally producing only one or two designs a year, The Quiet Life has grown into a much larger project. The Quiet LIfe now releases 2 seasons a year with worldwide distribution, produces special designs for Upper Playground's 50-24-SF artist line and for 2K by Gingham, and releases limitied edition items that can only be found on this website.

In addition to the Quiet Life, Andy works full time at Girl Skateboards as a member of the infamous "Art Dump."At Girl, Andy's main duty is to art direct Girl's shoe company Lakai Limited Footwear, but he also designs skateboard deck graphics to Girl Skateboards and Chocolate Skateboards, shoots photos for Fourstar, Ruby and the other brands within Girl, and contributes elsewhere when time allows. Andy also continues to do freelance photograph, design, and special projects under the name OhioGirl, and co-runs a small "indie" music label called OhioGold Records.

Loreak Mendian - T shirt competition (Stroke)

The prize will consist of:
-A weekend in San Sebastian for two people, with a visit to our headquarters and a short surfing course (optional).
The design will be manufactured in a limited series, which will be only available in Loreak Mendian stores.

We want you to help us design a T-shirt for Loreak Mendian!

This year we carried out a series of "actions" following the theme of the stroke: the stroke of a pencil on white sheet, the stroke of a drawing made with a rope, the stroke of a black ribbon...
We want you to create a T-shirt in which the stroke plays a very important part. But in order to set some rules, we´ve decided we´re all going to work with the same materials. Get your kit in our shops or points of sale.

Your working kit consists of: a black ribbon, plus a sticker to make it look a bit "official". Use the black ribbon to draw on the T-shirt,as if it were a marker.You can draw on the front side, the backside and the sleeves. All we ask of you is a white T-shirt, your time and, above all... your talent.

The only limit we impose is the use of the aforementioned elements. Other drawing techniques such as markers, paint or sprays are forbidden here: only a black ribbon and a white T-shirt. In case you don´t have a white T-shirt, you sure will have in your wardrobe an old T-shirt with something printed over a white background. That´s perfect -just turn it over and draw on it! Once you have designed the T-shirt, take a photograph of it and send it to us. You may design as many as you like. We will upload every design we receive onto our webpage. Send your pictures to trazo@loreakmendian.com, adding your personal details and the store in which you were given your kit.
