Mountain Dew Green Label Art Shop Series

sheep_dewcanspin

THE SHEEP NEEDS YOU!!

Mountain Dew skateboarder Paul Rodriguez and legendary skate artist Don Pendleton worked together to create their own signature can for Mountain Dew. Then inspired 35 skate shops across the country to design their own Dew can in a contest that just launched called the Mountain Dew Green Label Art Shop Series. Black Sheep was 1 of the 35 shops nationally selected to participate in this contest.

The 35 shops have been divided into 7 different regions. The shop with the most votes in each region will advance to the final round of 7 cans and make it one step closer to being made and distributed nationally. Black Sheep is listed in the Mid Atlantic region.

Please go to www.greenlabelart.com and vote for the Black Sheep entry. Help us get to the finals by voting for our can and you’ll also be entered in weekly drawings for tons of cool limited edition gear, prizes and trips.

Regional voting ends September 9 at 2:59pm and each registration is allowed 7 votes per day.

Let’s show these guys what’s up with Charlotte and put this thing on the map! We need you to vote daily — you get 7 votes per day. This is a marathon not a sprint and we need your help to make the finals. Show your love and get clickin!!!

Happy Go Skateboarding Day 2010 !!!

It’s that time of year again, June 21st is the first day of Summer and that means “Go Skateboarding Day” is here and in full effect. We’ve got Mark, Danny, and lots of the shop homies cruising the streets with the kids and giving away some product to help celebrate.

So, go grab your board and enjoy some time with all your homies. The cops have been to the shop a few times today already, so just be sure to keep things respectful and mellow– you don’t want to find yourself on the wrong side of the arm of the law.

Happy Go Skateboarding Day– Black Sheep will see you in the streets and in the bars for sure.
