Bon Jour!
My man Benny from Be-Street Magazine sent me this epic piece of illustration. It appears in the newest issue of Be-Street, Issue # 7. They have reworked on some really famous biblical illustrations from one of the most famous illustrations of Gustave Doré. Basically they remixed Gustavos biblical illustration themes with some fresh clothing pieces.. Credit goes out to the french illustrator PlaymoO who’s the talent behind the illustrations.
On this first page, they had a push on the angel with a CTRL x STADIUM jacket !
Cover flows swell with MISHKA keeping watch!
Illustration is pretty sick…
They also did a VIDEO that’s definitely worth checking!
Thanks Benjamin for the look outs! Really appreciate it!
Paz!

Hey yo, this is hitting from the other side of the world.That’s pretty much what we’re told in Finland when we were kids digging holes in the ground. Our Pops and Moms would always be saying that dig deep enough and you’ll come out in China. Quite funny, as we sure have been digging deep, three shifts per day, all night and all around up til dawn. And yes, finally we’re seeing light at the end of the tunnel. And what happens when we pop out?
The NO†CH Festival that’ll go down the 27th of October and goes on until 4th of November in Shanghai, China. It will cater a more than interesting palette of designers / creative heads / musicians / artists and connoisseurs. These include some of my favorites, Henrik Vibskov, Uusi Fantasia, Kokoro & Moi, Pekka Finland and these i’m just naming on the basis of what i know. The rest is something that’ll surely widen my eyes, no doubt about it.
The palette seems tight as a diamond and taking it to Shanghai must be thrilling to the bone marrows for each one participating.
And us, CTRL, are there in forms of an exhibition at a gallery space and tight store called The Source and will be having an exhibition together with Tuukka ‘Deeli’ Kaila. The exhibition will open on the 31st of November and goes through all of November. How many days is that?
Please stay tuned for more about this as we’re finalizing the last bits of it all.

Konichiwa!
We recently produced a limited re-edition series of t-shirts. There’s 6 different retrospect graphics from the colorful history of sweet baby Jesus, CTRL! These were only for the Japanese market, but we snatched a small piece of the pie, no offense, you know we’re like kids at the bisquit stash. These are now up and online on our WEBSTORE..
The Love Will Tear Us Apart Tee is also up there. We’ve had mad requests for this one, so it should be goodness news for all you out there that missed this pearl. Mighty approved by the talented and Handsome couple down here…
God bless all you goths!

Yo-Yo!
Check this! We just came out with a special collabo package together with BEN G, by far our favorite skate shop in heart of Amsterdam. This started out last January as i was visiting the beautiful city and i met up with an amped Bennie Komala. We went skating, drinking beers and were talking about what not. After the nice dialogs we had, we came up with a thought of doing something together. After awhile of swapping some crazy ideas around this project, Bennie sent me a mail with the whole kit. And boy, i was hit by surprise. He took the inspiration from their pride, the local football club Ajax Amsterdam! In 1995 they won the Champions Leagues and pretty much everyones favorite Ajax player was of course top scorer Jari Litmanen who happens to be from Finland. To put a story short, this is a tribute to Jari and his golden years.
ENjoy the swift feet!
The Cap is amazing. RED & BLACK suede!!
The scarf is an absolute must for making the kit complete!
The shirt in full AJAX colorways and BEN G & CTRL detailing!
The name in the back says it all. CHIEF!
And of course, the football would have finalized this, but ey, we’re skaters so we made skateboards. Naturally.. Seems like we’re into bowls more then balls. Nice shapes, 7.75, 7.85, 8 and the 8.25 for the big footed Jetis out there.
Looks good on any hooligan!!
The whole kit is available in Bennies shop, Ben G you stoops and our web store!
Thanks a million Bennie for making this possible. And got to be super sorry that i didn’t get this up and running until now. I’m a homo sapien with only 2 hands and seems like a half of brain and all three have been on an overload. Sorry ass excuse and we should have Litmanen kick my ass for that.
Peace!
