Terrance Harden the RISD ARTIST

Fri, 17 May 2013 21:59:19 -0400

He is a Junior at Rhode Island School of Design and he is responsible for the filming and editing of the RADISH, xReebok & xSneakerJunkies Collaboration Video

USING THREE DIMENSIONAL DIGITAL PROGRAMMING TERRANCE USES DIGTAL ANIMATION TO IMPLICITLY DESCRIBE FORMS THROUGH THE VARIATION OF COLORS, TEXTURES AND TRANSPARENCY. HIS ABILITY TO CREAT SPACE IN THE VACUUM OF PROGRAMMING ALLOWS HIS ANIMATIONS TO HOLD CLEAR SPATIAL RELATIONSHIP.

Terrance is a good friend of RADISH and has plans of making major moves with his future. Check out his professional portfolio on LinkedIN!

Personally RADISH would like to thank Terrance by TURNING UP THE LIGHTS ; EXTRA BRIGHT and showcasing his talent.

To start off our weekend we attending the JWU First Annual...

Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:24:00 -0400

To start off our weekend we attending the JWU First Annual Fearless event hosted by the JWU Larry Freidman International Center for Entrepreneurship. I got to purchase a shirt from a student owned business named True Monti & I was also able to have my first Segway experience. A Segway is the RAD 2 wheel thing that mall cops ride. The JWU student who owns the business looks forward to launching his business at Kennedy Plaza and plans on riding around town on a segway giving tours of Providence with about 5 other people all on segways. Thats pretty RAD if you ask me! Keep a look out for PROVIDENCE SEGWAY TOURS.

This weekend we had the privilege to launch our 2013 Spring - Summer @ The RISD student art sale. We had an amazing turnout and the community definitely embraced RADISH considering we sold out in about 4 hours. If you think thats RAD we were lucky enough to have Val @ PDV Pops post up beside us and our customers purchased a meal at RADISH then grab a puddling pop for desert and hung out with us listening to music. We couldn’t of asked for better weather the sun was shining.

I am glad that I decided to walk around the Art Sale before it was over because I found a gem. I fell in love with a hand made pin. If you go to RISD you may know Nafis White & Garcia Sinclair they sold me a pin that I plan on wearing daily. Check out the pin above it showcases a man climbing a mountain. The reason I picked this one out of about 25 pins is simple. In life i have always been faced with some type of mountain to climb. Each and every obstacle has turned me into a creative problem solver. There is not 1 mountain I can’t climb and over come. I’m excited for my future and I wonder what the next challenge is! Thanks for the amazing pin ladies I will wear it proudly thats for sure.

Finally I was able to close the weekend off with a meeting hosted by FOOD TRUCKS IN @ Twin Oaks Resturant in Cranston RI! Food Trucks In is the only website you can find the real time location of food trucks across the nation. Eric and his partner are amazing men and they have been traveling the states visting just about ever food truck. We had dinner with just about ever food truck owner in Providence RI. The exciting part was everyone was friendly and willing to work together to assemble food truck events that the community will appreciate! We all hope to one day park our trucks on the same street and have thousands of people come out to try our food! The City of Providence has been amazing to us food trucks & we appreciate all of their support!

CHEERS,

TEAM RADISH

RADISH WILL BE CATERING THE ROAD RACE AND LOOKS FORWARD FEEDING ALL OF THE RACERS. STAY TUNED FOR OUR MENU UPDATE.

It turns out our Most Valuable Player isn’t only a Master Artist he also has more tricks up his sleeve. When he isn’t in the studio he is hitting the streets staying in shape cycling. Alec Babala has always been apart of the RADISH family and he is responsible for branding RADISH. He has done an amazing job and is also a great leader. Alec may seem like a quite guy however thats because he is always thinking. I admire this guy and he has helped me grow as a business man. We have been thru a lot our business relationship could make a movie. Much Love Brother.

Who Painted the RADISH TRUCK?

Wed, 10 Apr 2013 22:37:50 -0400

OTIS GRAY “SCULPTURE” 14 A.K.A. The Handy Man

Shout out to Mr. Gray for painting the truck and finishing it regardless of the 90 degree weather in the summer. This guy has an amazing work ethic and he should be honored. Not only did he paint the truck he cut all the metal and also rebuilt the floor of the truck with stainless steal. Otis installed the window and also hung up the hood and protected the truck when I was in Salt Lake City. Thanks Otis!

GABRIEL LOPES “ID” A.K.A Upper Echelon

Shout to Gab for have some balls to freestyle on the back of the truck with Montana. I have to admit the first time i met Gab was the day he painted the truck. I asked him is he sure he knew how to paint. He looked at me like i had ten head and said of course dude. HA-HA come to find out not only could paint but he is a professional. He earned the nick name Upper Echelon after…..(sorry we cant tell you how he earned it lol :p)

Mr. Amadeous Wolfgang A.K.A. The Boss

Finally we have WolfGang. This guy is clutch. Gab needed some help and called Amadeous to help him out. Next thing you know they were painting the truck together listening to music. I was speechless I must admit these guys are good at what they do. Amadeous is a cool dude and will always have the respect of RADISH.

You may have seen these three fellas around town. They are responsible for paint the RADISH FOOD TRUCK. They are amazing men and their talent speaks for itself.

If you see them around town then its your lucky day because they are one of a kind. They put their all into painting the truck and I’m proud to say that I have gotten some amazing feedback about our paint job.

P.S.

Meet Elise Mortensen she also helped paint the truck and peal of all the original stickers with a heat gun. Elise will always be apart of the RADISH family. Much Respect! She is Amazing!

Without these Artist RADISH wouldn’t be the same. Our story sets us apart from every other food truck hands down!

Wed, 10 Apr 2013 21:06:01 -0400

OBEY THE GIANT releases on April 15th!

Mark your calendars on April 15th, Director, Julian Marshall is launching an amazing new film entitled OBEY THE GIANT. “It is about the early life of Shepard Fairey and the origin of his OBEY GIANT street art campaign. The film takes place in Providence, RI in 1990 when Shepard was a student at Rhode Island School of Design.”

What does OBEY THE GIANT have to do with RADISH?

Well students who are associated with RADISH and on the team also help out with the creation of the film.

Julian was still based out of Providence when the RADISH project started last year. A few days ago I (Tim) had a chance to chat with Julian and he is super excited to continue with his success.

If you support his movement like we do, please take a second to ‘like’ Julian’s fan page to keep up to date with news about the release of the movie!

It’s amazing to see what can be done when students come together and work as a team! #TEAM WORK

The Return Of RADISH / Season 2 / x13

Mon, 08 Apr 2013 13:57:13 -0400

So if you’re thinking like the rest of the community you must be wondering WHERE IS RADISH. Well we are a student owned and operated business and we tried our best to manage running the truck full time & staying on top of our grades. However this turned out to be extremely challenging and considering our education is our biggest investment we choose to focus on our grades.

The good news is the school year is almost over and we are getting ready to hit the streets again. Exciting!

We are going to be making our first appearance at the RISD STUDENT ART SALE. This is exciting for us because a number of RISD students are involved in our project.

We are hoping to see the Expose Team at the Art Sale they are RAD! If you havent heard about them follow them on twitter @RISDexpose

If your’re in the area feel free to come by and check out our NEW PRICES! :) After conducting a survey from a sample of students at JWU, BROWN, & RISD we found that our peers consider pricing to be a deciding factor when they are choosing a place to eat. So we listened to everyone and we lowered our prices! :D

Also if you are not a student and you find out about this event dont miss it! This is going to be a great opportunity to check out how creative us students can get. Bring the family & your friends the street is going to be block off however there is lots of parking near by.

I have seen some of the artwork that is going to be on sale and trust me if you have the painting I seen in your house it is bound to start a conversation. All the artwork has been handcrafted by students and contains a story.

We have also heard that our friend ROSIE will be attending! It’s going to be a food truck play date ;) !

Spring time is finally here and this is an event you don’t want to miss!

Cheers

Sun, 27 Jan 2013 12:02:00 -0500

From Providence to Boston.

RADISH will be catering the Keith Haring and Reebok Exclusive Event in Association with Bodega.

Reebok is introducing an exciting and unique collaboration with the Keith Haring Foundation that will bring the late artist’s bold graffiti-influenced artwork to signature Reebok Classic footwear.

We will see Haring’s well-known icons – the antic Everyman, Barking Dog and Radiant Baby – and for the first time, a range of interpretations of unique paintings and drawings, to present a collection that fuses fashion and art and embodies the individuality of this remarkable artist. The distinctive collection features much-loved Reebok Classic silhouettes – the Classic Leather, Classic Leather Mid, NPC II, Workout Plus and Freestyle – that were first introduced during the 1980s, around the same time as some of Haring’s most acclaimed work.

The Reebok x Haring collection features bold, luxe materials and color executions. Fabrication and detail such as chenille applique, flow molded icons, jacquard underlays, removable die-cut components and the use of high-density screen printing and direct embroidery present an adventurous interpretation of Haring’s works, consistent with his characteristically daring and energetic designs.

“ Haring’s artistic style is legendary” said Todd Krinsky, VP of Reebok Classic. “Celebrating creativity is a central goal of our brand, and you see that through our collaborations and partnerships with people who represent innovation in the worlds of art, music and fashion. This collection, and our partnership with the Keith Haring Foundation, allows us to re-imagine the artwork of this ground-breaking genius through a new medium that will appeal not only to his greatest fans but also introduce Haring to a new audience.”

Julia Gruen, Executive Director of the Keith Haring Foundation said, “ Reebok Classic came to prominence at about the same time that Keith’s most iconic imagery was becoming popular around the world. This synchronicity creates a natural affinity between us – a collaboration founded on a passion for accessibility, design, and creativity. With Reebok, we have been able to present some of Keith’s most beloved images in an entirely new, yet authentic, manner, as well as some new designs interpretations of unique paintings and drawings. We firmly believe Keith would be excited to see how his artwork continues to attract attention and resonate with today’s young audiences.”

Haring established his foundation in 1989, its mission being to assist non-profit organizations which provide educational opportunities to underprivileged children, as well as organizations involved in research and care related to AIDS and HIV. Reebok’s collaboration with the Keith Haring Foundation will help support another equally important function of the Foundation –keeping Keith’s visual legacy thriving for today’s young and increasingly diverse audiences.

The new collaboration is the latest in the brand’s popular Affili’Art program, which has produced collections with the likes of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Ryan McGinness. The Reebok x Haring range will preview with an exclusive event, in association with Bodega, in Boston on January 31st, 2013, and will subsequently be available in the best boutiques around the world from February 10th, 2013.

Our truck serves as a mecca for artists, chefs, entrepreneurs, musicians and other creative minds to share their work amongst the local community, as well as the rest of the world through our growing online presence. Not only will these artists be displayed on a constant visual feed at the truck’s location, but they will also become part of our online database that aims to showcase artists’ ideas to a vast population.This concept allows the energetic and prolific population on College Hill and now in Boston to show their work through the Radish website, blogs and other businesses that support our cause. The immense power and reach of networking will help RADISH become a mobile environment able to satiate the hungry minds of our beautiful generation.
