Since we first saw TrustoCorp’s subversive street art we’ve been fans. In the over-saturated, bloated world of street art, it takes doing something really different in order to stick out from the crowd (or just doing something really well). Plus, it always helps to have a strong message as all their fake street signs do […]

There really is no reason one would buy a gold leaf skateboard other than to show off that you could buy a gold leaf skateboard. Having said that, Miya Ando, the designer behind the gold covered skate deck, has engineering a board from steel and covered it in 24K gold leaf one side. You may […]

Last night Jeremy Scott tweeted a preview of his new adidas Originals by Originals Fall/Winter 2011 line, and as can be expected there’s plenty of zaniness — mostly modeled by his LA muse, Charlotte Free.

The continuing saga of one girl’s plight with unemployment…(read vol I,  vol II, vol III, vol IV, vol V,  vol VI, vol VII, vol. VIII, vol IX, vol X,  vol XI, vol XII,  vol XIII, vol XIV, vol XV , vol XVI and vol XVII) Sometimes I like to exaggerate a wee bit and maybe say things in an over-the-top sort of manner to try and get a laugh […]

Vertebrata's skeletal creatures in desolate & sullen human spaces

Marc Da Cunha Lopes, a photographer based in France, may be known for his editorial and commercial work, but it’s his personal artistic work that has led to recent interest. Considering TNT’s heavily hyped Falling Skies series debut this past Sunday, we can’t help recognize the similarities between the constant references to alien vertebra in […]
