LA Shoot – Behind the Scenes...way, way behind...

While we were in LA shooting our new RetroSpect Collection (look for it later this year....super hot), we got a lot of work done. And we also got a lot of no work done. Does that make sense? Here are some outtakes from the LA shoot day.....How do I have this job? It’s amazing.

LA Barney – Ahhhh Hollywood Blvd....where people that have nothing better to do actually make a living dressing up as cartoon characters, Jack Sparrow, and...Barney?!? Do kids still watch that crap? Do they even know who Barney is anymore? Well..I do. It’s a white guy named Steve...wearing a Barney costume...sorry to crush your dreams children. Oh, and there’s no Santa Claus either. Harsh. 


LA Dave – While out “scouting” on Day 1 in LA, Dave (Dragon’s Art Direction otherwise known as “Beaker”) and I came across some interesting things on the Venice boardwalk. Note to self, if I ever decided to be a pot head, I know where to get the goods....There was some incredible people watching that day and I think Dave and I left the boardwalk a little more worried about humanity than we were before. Dave looked for some guidance from the Zoltar machine and came up empty handed. Good thing he only pumped a few dollars into that thing. What a rip off. 

LA Helmet – When I get bored I like to make fun of myself and do things that some people might call “embarrassing”. One of these things was to turn myself into an actual bobble head with the help of AJ’s new motorcycle helmet. Enjoy and you’re welcome. 



LA Shoes – Adidas called, they want they’re entire 1982 collection back.  Mad steez. Mad. 





LA1 – Now, now, now...don’t everyone get all excited. I can’t even ride a normal bike, let alone a manly motorcycle. So no, I wasn’t riding this off into the sunset. I was merely entertaining the thought of trying to steal AJ’s bike when I realized that I don’t know how to ride one. So I took a picture on it instead. Thumbs up. 





LA2 – CHiPs was a great show....great.

Dragon Letting Loose

When you work hard at making the best sunglasses on the market, sometimes you just really need to let loose. Here is our favorite sunglass designer with our international sales killer, Ashley, having some fun.


What happens when co-workers drink together?


You get drunk...that’s what happens. Duh. Myself and our International Department resident bad ass Ashley went out with our other International Department resident bad ass/aussie-Canadian Jane (not pictured). Jane decided it would be fun to take photos of Ash and I (drinking...it was Friday and we were celebrating). She then proceeded to do some super artsy fancy treatments on said photos which begs the question “What happened to normal photos taken with a disposable camera? Where did those days go?” Oh, that’s right they are buried underground with the dinosaurs...but I digress...Anyway, I tried to take photos of them as well but I didn’t know how to work Jane’s phone and she kept yelling at me, so I got nervous. And when I get nervous the only cure for that is more Pinot Grigio. Waitress!

Dragon Artist and International Man of Amazingness, Scoph

Dragon artist, Scoph, was recently featured in a great interview on Inky Little Sun Beams. He is one talented artist and a great guy all around. Check out the feature...and his art. Also, be on the look out for his art coming to a gallery near you this summer. Details to come...

When your work sells out ahead of a show next to Banksy, it's a massive sign of respect. Schoph has stayed true to his roots throughout, fiercely proud of his art, friends and work, he tells us how he's developed a lifestyle doing things that he loves and inspire him on a daily basis all of which reflect a little bit, or a whole lot of who he is...Read the full interview HERE.




An Idea Isn't Responsible for the People who Believe in it...

 The Man himself, Scoph

Pets Look Good in Dragons....

Dragon's PLM, Hillary Balch, is back with some more inspiration for all you kiddies out there. Pics of her furry children, Vader the cat and Walter the weiner dog, trying on some new color samples in the Decca and BLVD....They weren’t super into it but we got a few good shots of them. Next ad campaign maybe?

Behind the Lens: Italian Factory

Ever wondered how your sunnies are made? At Dragon, our higher-end models are made in Italy. Last week our PLM, Hillary, took a trip out to one of our factories. It was a whirlwind trip and here are some highlights....


Hill and one of our factory experts modeling next season's hottest new lab coats.


Wood chips..who would have known? This is a process called "tumbling" the factory does to each of the frames after they pop out of the mold. 


Painting made easy...


And this is Hill and one of the factory workers looking like weirdos in the
white lab coats. Super unflattering but really comfortable. Could be the
next generation of the Snuggy?
