Still alive

August 8, 2011

Feels like forever since I’ve posted on my blog. I decided to take a week away from any social media, which includes Facebook, Twitter, my blog, or any email accounts. Why? I really felt like my priorities were getting out of wack.  Sometimes we can get so consumed by social media that we have time for nothing else.

So in that week I took off I really had the opportunity to pray, and get deeper into reading the bible. It’s amazing what you are able to hear God saying when you take time to drown out every other voice.  

So in closing, I’m still alive and more focused than ever before!

Don’t forget to take advantage of the “In with the new” sale. Shirts starting as low as $10! www.aphesisclothing.com

 

It’s not about me

July 20, 2011

The biggest lesson I’ve learned with Aphesis is the fact that this is not about me. This is also the biggest mistake I’ve made in the past,  which was getting to the point where I thought it was about me. The way I see it, I could make my name known, and acquire fame, but my name can do nothing for anybody. I’m only someone pointing in the direction where salvation is found. My purpose is to point to Christ. Plain and simple.

The response to the release of The World Through Your Eyes has been refreshing. I tell ya, when you’re selling the same stuff for two years, as great as it is, you get to a point where you’re so anxious to release something new, but everything has it’s time. 

It’s always awesome to see people get excited about the things you work so hard on, and Seth is one of those people. You might remember that last year Seth found out about Aphesis while driving on the hwy and seeing me driving in the Aphesismobile. He immediately sent me an email, and shortly after we met up for the purchase of a few Aphesis shirts. Yesterday we met again at a near by gas station for the purchase of The World Through Your Eyes.

Huge thanks to Seth for continuing to show love to Aphesis. Make sure you don’t miss out on getting a hold of an awesome shirt! Only 50 have been printed! Get one now! Click here

In with the new

One more day!!

July 7, 2011

I can’t believe we are only hours away from the release of The World Through Your Eyes. I can confidently say that any one who purchases a new Aphesis shirt will be very pleased with the changes and revamping. It’s taken me two years to release  something new, and while some may consider it a delay, I consider it a time to perfect. The World Through Your Eyes will be released tonight at midnight, so drink some coffee, energy drink, or soda, and make sure you get a hold of your size, as only 50 will be printed. Also, a reminder that each shirt will include a small envelope with a collectible inspiration card inside that gives a short description of my inspiration behind this design.

Here’s a short video I filmed with Rebekah Hudson for the release of “The World Through Your Eyes.”

A few weeks back I felt a burden for the people of Japan and contributed a portion of all sales for two weeks to help those affected by this tragedy. I want to thank those of you who were a part of that.

Live it up

June 30, 2011

A few weeks ago I was contacted by a wonderful lady named Liana regarding wanting to purchase a few shirts for her church’s youth group. After working out all the details, I was able to put together a fairly large order for them.

Two days ago I was tagged on a few pics of their youth group rockin Aphesis very well!

Liana informed me that they wore their shirts while volunteering to serve 400 homeless people in the Dallas area. She said people would ask what Aphesis meant and when people heard the meaning they would smile. It’s amazing to see God taking the message of Aphesis to people I may never meet, which is part of my vision for Aphesis.

Big thanks to Liana and Live it up from RCC in Arlington! Also, just a reminder to everyone about the new Aphesis design being released next Friday! Yuhhh!!! And if you have not liked Aphesis on Facebook, do it here.

As I’m getting ready to release this new design next week on July 8th, this statement could not be any truer.

When pressure comes at you you have two choices, let it push you against the wall until you’re dead, or you snap out of it and push back. I’ve chosen to push back.

This Friday I got together with my good friend Dustin Cavazos. After revealing the new Aphesis design to him, we hit up Padrinos in Oak Cliff off Davis in the Bishop Arts District. Dustin has been claiming that they have the best chicken tacos, and…he was right. They truly were the best chicken tacos I’ve tasted.  Very well seasoned and grilled to perfection. It was like a childhood summer/never-ending rollercoaster/Dick Tracy’s watch/perfect chicken, all in one taco. What I’m trying to say is that they were incredible.

Check out the new Aphesis design “The World Through Your Eyes” coming July 8, featured on www.dustincavazos.com. And go out and buy Dustin’s new album. It’s amazing! It really is.
