Matix ho14 denim by zuzupopo

REPAIR / REBUILD / REUSE All Matix denim comes with a “lifetime” guarantee. The guarantee covers specifically manufacturing defects in regards to buttons, rivets, zippers, belt loops or seams (each a “defect”). We will repair or replace your defective jeans with a new pair (or similar pair, in the event such style has been discontinued), as provided below. This lifetime guarantee only covers Matix denim pants. WHAT DOES “LIFETIME” MEAN? Our products are covered under warranty, to the original owner (with authentic proof of purchase), for the lifetime of the product. Unfortunately, this does not mean your lifetime. Your favorite Gripper denim Pants may not survive to the ripe old age of 70. (But we have heard from folks whose well-loved & cared for 1998 Styro denim pants are still going strong!)

Kamloops means “the meeting of two waters”. And yes you’ve guessed it, two rivers meet and run through the middle of the city.

Anything with some skating of Guy Mariano, Alex Carolino, Wade Desarmo, Arto Saari. And what ever else is quality and hot off the press of skateboard media these days.

T E L L U S A B O U T YO U R S I N G I N G C A R E E R . Currently singing in a band called Los Mysteriosos, it’s what some people might call Spanish rock. We play mostly original compositions with the occasional Rancheras thrown in. I also sing in an AC/DC tribute band called Bad Boy Boogie, but it’s more of a tribute of a tribute band. Haha!

Well, I’m constantly trying to come up with unique ways to really highlight the brand. I have a few ideas but they aren’t free! haha! AT T H I S P O I N T YO U A R E S O M E W H AT O F A N I N D U S T RY V E T E R A N T E L L U S A B O U T S O M E O F T H E P L AC E S YO U H AV E WO R K E D AT.

W H AT I S K A M LO O P S M O S T K N OW N FO R ? In my line of work, there really is no weekday or weekend, I just make the most of everyday, work or play....although, it’s very likely that Los Mysteriosos is playing somewhere.

I draw a lot of inspiration from my surroundings. Design ideas can be found everywhere, discarded materials on the side of the road, weathered or surf distressed fl otsam, vintage furniture, all types of architecture but the main ingredient is making sure there is functionality. No use in just building something that looks good.

This all happened by accident really. This has been a learning experience from the beginning. You just figure it out. No formal training, just trial and error. It was all a beautiful mistake. Haha.

Haha it’s not a gang, it’s a Social Club. I am a member of The Main Street Elite SC. A friend of mine turned me on to them a year ago. Just a good group of people that enjoy all things Disney. I have been an annual pass holder for 8 years and Disneyland is one of the places I

Haha, that’s a nice way of calling me an “old timer”. I have been fortunate enough to visit some amazing places and share some really incredible adventures with some people I now call friends. I could go into detail but there are so many that I would rather wait to include them in my Biography-La Vida Loca de El Mysterioso!

If you like to fish, chances are you’d love Kamloops. Some of the worlds best fly fishing is a 30 minute drive out of the city. W H O D I D YO U LO O K U P TO G R OW I N G U P I N K A M LO O P S ? Everyone in the local skate scene played a part but the biggest infl uences were Stacy Gabriel and Derek Swaim. Up and coming skaters like Ryan & Scott Decenzo, Wade Desarmo, Paul Machnau and other Canadian legends these days were huge infl uences too.

T E L L U S A L IT T L E B IT A B O U T YO U R B AC KG R O U N D? H O M E TOW N ? H E R ITAG E ? I grew up in a tiny cotton farming town in West Texas named ‘Brownfi eld’. That’s all it was, too. A super dry, hot, fl at and culturally deprived brown fi eld. Just like Footloose but with no dancing or Kevin Bacon. My mom was an art teacher so I drew from an early age, always had plenty of books around and different art supplies. Doubt I’d be in this industry if it weren’t for that early exposure. H OW D I D T H AT I N F LU E N C E YO U R I N T E R E S T I N L E T T E R I N G/ D E S I G N ? A N D H OW/ W H O G OT YO U I N TO L E T T E R I N G ? I tend to lean more agrarian, hand rendered and rustic with my work? Im a big fan of illustrations, figuring out different styles and subject matter. I’m easily distracted and try different things a lot, I’m a big fan of the process. Lettering really only developed as my work got more commercial D I D YO U H AV E A N Y FO R M A L E D U C ATI O N ? I took art as an elective in High School and my Junior year I was an exchange student to Belgium to study fi ne art for a year. That was a big change for a 15 year old from a tiny conservative Texas town. I got to pick out my own beer at the supermarket and I got really good at rolling hash cigarettes, also had about five hours a day of painting and drawing in school. After that I fi nished college with a fi ne art degree and went back to a graduate program in Atlanta (the Portfolio Center) for Graphic Design. W H AT/ W H O W E R E YO U R E A R LY I N F LU E N C E S ? Mostly fi ne artists - Rauschenberg, Basquiat, Robert Indiana, the paintings of El Lissitzky. I was also a fan of figure painters, I’ve spent a lot of time with the works of Toulouse Lautrec, early Picasso, NC Wyeth and even Norman Rockwell.

After almost ten years working with design studios, it was super liberating to not be confi ned to a day job. I could go do things during the day and see people interacting, shopping, kids going to school. I like that 1950’s concept of little communities in cities - this is where you buy meat, this is where you get your milk. Way before the Walmarts an Targets ruined small town America with cheap plastic shit made in other countries. I could go off on Target for a while… anyway, ‘Neighborhood’ seemed approachable and sorta hip. I have web guys and production guys, even other designers I can tap into if I need help or take on larger jobs - that’s where ‘Studio’ comes from. W H AT WA S YO U R E X P E R I E N C E L I K E WO R K I N G W IT H S T U D I O S ? I started off at Planet Propaganda in Madison WI, was really stoked to land that job. Good clients, good atmosphere - talented and creative environment. We had access to a screen printing studio and a venue that got lots of great bands, learned a ton there. My last job was back in Austin at a studio inside of an ad agency, that was different. Super competitive environment, most of my work load was ads and promotions for fast food hamburgers. I can get excited about a hamburger for about 5 minutes, then it’s over. I just don’t have much passion for traditional advertising in general...

This is probably really lame but I got a membership to Coast to Coast AM recently, it’s a four hour overnight radio program that covers Paranormal topics - Ghosts, Aliens, Demons, even conspiracy theories. When I’m just working on creative process stuff, I like to focus on something with a narrative like that. If I need to think more about what I’m working on, ‘go to’ music is pretty diverse - Townes Van Zandt, Jawbreaker, Biz Markie, Fugazi, Pixies.

I’ve been experimenting lately with painting on translucent mylar, it started when I was trying to fi nd another way of producing silkscreen artwork. I really like the results of silkscreen printing but it feels so removed from the process of experimentation, I wanted to get away from computer manipulation of the art and any artifi cial textures. These graphics were created that way, Mike Pargas (Matix art director) and I geeked out a little over WWII nose art on bombers and sloppy hand painted signage, super fun to work on. O U T S I D E O F D E S I G N , W H AT W I L L W E F I N D YO U D O I N G ? We just bought a house on a few acres, it’s great to have some land that you can do anything with. I built a huge bonfi re pit, I’m working on a big garden with a chicken coop & treehouse for my boys…maybe a teepee if I can fi gure it out. I fenced the whole property recently…I think we might get some goats. Lately that’s all I want to do? Be outside and work our land. S O W H AT S O N T H E H O R IZO N ? W H AT A R E YO U LO O K I N G FO RWA R D TO T H I S Y E A R ? Yeah, I’m starting a new business importing green organic coffee from Oaxaca, Mexico. My partners and I took a trip down last fall and met with some farmers and cooperatives, really good people who hustle super hard for very little pay. In one of the communities they had no police force or access to healthcare, no hospitals at all. We’re working out the logistics now but our product should hit the shelves this year, a big part of our goal is providing the farmers and their families with ‘more than fair trade’ compensation. Hopefully we can fi nd other ways to help out as we get more funding. G O O D C ATC H I N G U P. A N Y L A S T WO R D S ? Really stoked to work with Matix! I have a lot of respect for the spirit and aesthetics of the company, honored to contribute!
