Bikinis and board shorts. Warm summer nights and parties at your friend’s beach house. Summer is looking to be just what you need, right? And it should be. But don’t forget June Gloom. With the crappy weather we’re sure to see in Southern California, there’s no better time to pack a sweatshirt just in case […]

Unotre brings us stylist Robert Verdi’s latest creation, an inspired conflation of vintage Hermès silk scarves and Vans classic slip-ons. Verdi takes the bold and bright graphics which the house of Hermès was built on and applies it to the timeless sneaker, creating headturning shoes to wear to this weekend’s BBQ.

What might the world look like if the characters we grew up with on our Nintendo roamed the streets? UK-based graphic designer Aled Lewis took the time to illustrate exactly what it would look like.

Will it be just another questionable Supernatural Graphic Novel hackfest (Constantine, Legion, I Am Legend, etc), or will it be a surprise quality sleeper? Some […]

Saw the trailer to Sucker Punch at Comic Con this past week and boy does it look like a doozy. Not only have you got Madman’s Holy Movie Trinity involved (samurais, dragons, machine gun-toting females), but it’s actually directed by very capable hands. I am a legitimate fan of Zack Snyder’s, who I had hoped […]

Now that’s dedication. It took 27-year-old Atlanta-based graphic designer and prop maker Harrison Krix “seventeen months, countless hours, multiple dead ends, [and] hundreds of lessons learned” to make one helmet.
