After having a fact revealing conversation with my good friend WylieStyles® about streetwear (I hate that term) I decided to do a little research on one of my favorite brands, Supreme. I came across a pretty good article on the Interview magazine site where Glenn O’Brien interviewed James Jebbia, founder of Supreme. This is a must read for anyone interested in the business of streetwear or in niche goods.
I am also really digging the Interview site…it’s what I would like my site to grow up to be one day.
I’m a design stan (stalker/fan)…in case you didn’t know. What I love most of all is typography. What inspires me the most is how certain designers can use type to create an incredible compositions. Being able to control balance, space and contrast amazes me. I can literally look at great typography all day.
With that said I happened upon this site that is going to keep my eyes busy for at least two days…sorry family. Check out www.typographicposters.com
I admire the constitution, dedication and focus of people that can stand outside in cold weather for days just to consume something. The more I think about it this was more than just a consumption situation…this was a historical event. I am really glad that it was documented. Also, I live around the corner from St. Alfreds and had I known they had glow in the dark dancing girls I probably would have been there. The fact that these were exclusive to some Chicago stores also made me proud. Even though I have beef with Saint Alfreds and Leaders1354 (because they never have my size in anything) I am extremely proud of their accomplishments.
I am familiar with a few 3D modeling programs, however, I am light years away from the same skill level as some of the masters. I kind of envy their fortitude, patience and craftsmanship. Some of the masters are more than happy to show you how they created something and 24 year old Bracer Jack does not disappoint. His remodelling of the Iron Man mask makes me want to dedicate a least 5 hours a day to learning 3d modelling.
This vid breaks my heart with its dopeness. On my art to-do list I have a crazy 8bit NES animation…the only thing Ive done so far is one stinking style frame *SMH*The lesson learned here kidoz is keep it moving on your ideas, cause when you sleep those that thinkultra are producing ill stuffs…check the vid below
I said I would never be like the millions of other blogs, blogging bout what Kanye is doing and what MC Blah Blah Blah is wearing or who’s zooming who. I also said I would not blog about sneakers like some kind of SHOE WHORE®. However, every now and then there is a shoe or two that will get me. So now Im changing my “never blog about shoes policy” to “very rarely blog about shoes“….it’s my peragotive (I can do what I wanna do).
I say that to say this, there are two sneakers currently on my radar. The contrast between the two are great…one is what I would call a Sunday brunch, stroll through the hood shoe. The other is a party on Mars, I live in my own world shoe. I will have these.
Nike Killshot. I love the simpleness of these. Something like these would last forever. Classic.
Normally not something I would wear…but I like these.
Unfortunately I live in a city that only celebrates overeating. So instead of something as cool as a 56ft. Gundam being displayed in Millennium Park, the city of Chicago might display a giant deep dish pizza or a 50ft Gyro.Sad really.
The official website for the 30th anniversary of Sunrise’s Gundam robot anime franchise has announced on Wednesday that an 18-meter-tall (59-foot-tall), “life-size” statue of the title robot will be built at Tokyo’s artificial Odaiba island this July. The website proclaims that as part of the “Mobile Suit Gundam 30th Anniversary Project,” “Gundam will rise from the ground.” The “Real na Gundam” statue of the RX-78-2 Gundam model from the first anime series (1979) will be built at Odaiba’s Shiokaze Park at the beginning of July.
The statue will be free for viewing, but it will only stay up for two months. It will be built with fiberglass-reinforced plastic over a steel frame so it can be disassembled later. The head unit will move and the body will have 50 points that will emit light. Mist can shoot forth from 14 locations on the body. The park is just four trains stops from Tokyo Big Sight, the home of the Comic Market dōjinshi convention and the Gundam Big Expo convention that will be held from August 21 to August 23. Bandai Namco Group is still determining what to do with the statue after its allotted two months in the park are over.
Until now, the largest official Gundam replica in Japan was a 2/3-scale LM312V04 Victory Gundam built at 10 meters (33 feet) tall during the 1990s. A fan made a 1/3-scale MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam statue in Japan that stands seven meters (23 feet) tall.
Bandai Entertainment displayed a life-size head of the Gundam F91 robot from the 1991 film of the same name at Comic-Con International and later in San Francisco’s Metreon entertainment center. Bandai Entertainment eventually auctioned that head on the eBay website in 2005. A different 1/1-scale RX-78-2 Gundam bust (from the chest up) now rests in the Bandai Museum.
The only other official life-size replica of a full RX-78-2 Gundam robot was built at the Fuji-Q Highland amusement park at the foot of Mt. Fuji in 2007. However, it was built lying on the floor of a building for an interactive attraction, not standing up like the planned Odaiba statue. A life-size Tetsujin 28-gō (Gigantor) statue is still being planned at the Kobe birthplace of its creator, Mitsuteru Yokoyama, although it has been delayed from its previous 2008 opening.
The theme of the overall Mobile Suit Gundam 30th Anniversary Project is “Always Beginning.” The life-size Gundam represents the “Real G” phase of the project, while the Gundam Big Expo convention represents the “Feel G” phase. “Soul G” will be a planned collaborative music event based on the Gundam franchise.
People this really looks like the week of lateness for Mr WylieStyles *sigh* I think Im ok with being late on this one because Im in Canada and there is no reason I should have seen this AD running. Veet is a product for hair removal…damn isnt this a great idea?
Not sure if this is really from the mighty Microsoft compound because it seems like everything Microsoft makes right now is far from goodlooking. No matter what there are some great mograph and interactive studies in these piece.
