In the Studio with Keith Magruder (Bakers's Son)

Keith Magruder has been doing a ton of graphic design and live art for Roots & Branches over the past few years but is also constantly occupied other projects including his work with Creative Session and the upcoming release of his Baker's Son line. I caught some photos of him while he was screen printing some samples pieces for me,  just in time for the holidays. Check out more of Keith's work at keithmagruderstudio.com

On November 20th 2011 a bunch of incredible local artists came out to celebrate my birthday at Oasis in Oakland. The day started off rainy but we warmed it up with turntables, drum machines and Oasis' boomin system.
