Pepper-Spraying Cop

You may have already seen the shocking viral videos from the Occupy Uni of California Davis movement last week, where Lt John Pike of the campus police casually sprayed a group of protesters point blank in the face like he was watering some plants. He now has his own internet meme floating around and it's using a touch of dark humour to drive home a point about the police reaction, in the way that only basic Photoshopping can.

The image that started it all

See the original footage of the incident here. Our support goes out to all those camping and protesting peacefully at Occupy Together camps around the world.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US - Special Giveaway x

Today marks a very special day for us Deer Brainers, yup you've guessed it we are 1 years old today.

We would just like to say a massive thank you to everyone that's supported us and said such lovely kind words to us over the past year; Swell Vintage, St. Star Germain, Street Casuals, Fat Kid on Fire, Hellogoodbye, Dan Mumford, Dirrřtee Ldn, Georgie Jagger, Vitamin Water, Vice UK, Sofidonuts, Velvet Store, Bake Designs, Coffin on Cake PR, ALKR, DownLow Productions, The Daily Street, Death before Dishonour, Lazy Oafs, Daisy Lowe, We are Social & Don't Panic Brighton (If we've forgotten anyone don't worry we love you too).




Our most popular pages of the year are:

Tank Girl by Sofi.

Interview with Julia Underwood by Deer Brains.
Tattoo Galore by Steph.
Interview with Dan Mumford by Deer Brains.


To celebrate us reaching an incredible amount of success in our first year we are doing a massive amazing giveaway that will be revealed early this week so peep our Twitter, Facebook and blog pages to find out more information. We are so excited about it and so grateful to everyone that's sent us stuff to giveaway.


I would personally also like to thank Tom, Sean, Sofi, Spasia, Chris, Chris, Matt, Richard, Tshepo and Dottie for being amazing contributors.

Here's to an amazing 2011. We really do hope everyone chases their dreams and that our blog continues to inspire you.

Update

Six months on and it's been incredible.

New interests from Vitamin Water, Lisa Eldridge, Fat Sea Gull, Kitty Cowell, Daisy Lowe not to mention others.

And still love and support from Don't Panic, Swell Vintage, Moog Royale Say May Day and fans.

We've now hit 3 reviews, 1 interview that you can read here and over 25,000 views.
We've had plenty of ideas of late and two have successfully been put into action.

We've had a special logo drawn especially for us by http://www.sarojpatel.com/ What do you guys think?





We've also been joined by a new contributer:

† Richard Elliott †
BMX, punk rock, DIY, Sartre, shredding, corpse paint, dream girls, black coffee, summer, strongbads, black metal, tabletops, Nietzsche, going fast, KISS, denim/leather.

I like writing. I've been independently blogging for a while now, but it makes sense to get involved with a collective of rad individuals to MAKE GOOD THINGS HAPPEN. I'm envious of artistically talented folk: make me more so.








We are all very excited to see the work he has for us.
Thanks all!
LOVE
DEER BRAINS

Our gorgeous 1/2 of DB Spasija has decided that this project wasn't for her, we completely understood her decision and we wish her the best in everything she does and we still remain close buds with her.
WE LOVE YOU.
You can check out her awesome work & her dreams here and here.

We posted a tweet stating that we were after a new girlie, within about 20 minutes we had three newbies wanting to write for us.
We decided on Sofi, talented, creative, head strong and blunt we snapped her up straight away and we are delighted to welcome her into our DB fam!
