Upper Playground is releasing two New Era caps designed by artists Herbert Baglione and Jeremy Fish. Baglione’s art has gained him respect and recognition from his native Brazil to the U.S. and abroad. He is known for his strong minimalist and simplistic approach to painting. Jeremy Fish’s artwork can be found throughout his own line, superFishal, through the multiple books he has been featured in, and in the various collaborations he has done with corporations like Nike and Adidas.

Cat Moonlight, the design by Baglione, gives us a wistful look at a full moon from a black cat’s perspective. Fish’s Bunny Skull design creates a clever wall paper-type pattern covering the entire fitted with bunny skulls. The new 59FIFTY caps are available at all Upper Playground retail stores and online at the Upper Playground web store.

Upper Playground and Chrome chose to feature the work of Sam Flores and Jeremy Fish, both San Francisco based artists whose art speaks to the bicycle subculture. Flores and Fish have created compelling designs that are embroidered on the front flap of the Chrome Bag. Jeremy Fish’s “Fowl Mood” design features an elaborate owl “wall paper” pattern, while Sam Flores’ “Angel of Death” art features one of his signature characters riding a bicycle amongst the clouds. This project has enabled both brands to fuse contemporary art with durable design. The Upper Playground & Chrome artist series messenger bags are available in limited quantities and will be sold exclusively at select lifestyle boutiques and through Upper Playground and Chrome retail stores.

For its August release, Upper Playground is releasing two new New Era cap styles – one by Jeremy Fish and the other by FIFTY24SF. Jeremy Fish’s “superFishbones” pays homage to the Los Angeles ska band of similar name, while incorporating signature Jeremy Fish elements like skulls and bunnies. The “superFishbones” Fitted comes in navy and features front and back embroidery. FIFTY24SF’s “Great White” gives us an up close and personal view of what it would be like to get chomped on by a Great White shark. Both caps are now available in the Upper Playground online store.

Carhartt will be introducing the “Amicitia” skateboard deck series very soon. Three team riders from the Carhartt team have collaborated with one of their artist friends in designing a skateboard. The result of this cooperation are three different boards, sized and shaped just like the individual team rider prefers them and topped off with a very personal artwork. Every board comes with a 40-page booklet containing the biography of both teh artist and the riders, including pictures, poems and of course more artwork.

As part of the series Scott Bourne worked with Jeremy Fish, Jan Kliewer with Stefan Marx and Daniel Hakansson with Stefan Narancic.

Take a closer look at the three boards after the jump.

Fresh of his “Ghosts of the Barbary Coast” exhibition at Fifty24SF, Jeremy Fishal has released a co-branded t-shirt with his SuperFishal and Upper Playground. The t-shirt follows the theme of old San Francisco that drove his recent work – all the heroes and harlots of the gold rush era. Shirts come in both men’s and women’s cut.

Two New Eras fill the January line up from Upper Playground. Artists Sam Flores offers “The Copper” via his 12Grain Line. The second hat is a simple affair from Jeremy Fish called “The Emblem.” Both are available online and at select UP dealers.
