Mishka x Mark Todd: T-Shirt Collab x Gallery Opening Reception P1

Thu, 29 Apr 2010 10:23:00 -0700

See the full gallery on Posterous

April 15th, Thursday 2010 , bore witness to the manifestation of two t-shirt designs, Kaiju Invades and the Predator, collaborated on by artist Mark Todd as well as Mishka in-house designer, Mike Jones. Mishka, an urban- lifestyle boutique that's been around since 2003, has been purveyor to the streets of Williamsburg, Brooklyn since opening their flagship in March of 2009. In addition to the t-shirts' launch, Mark Todd exhibited a collection of comic book covers that he has altered over the past 4 years. From the Fantastic-Four to Captain America, Mark uses paint, clear projector paper, acrylics, needle, silk-screen prints and type-written fonts to convey subtle inuendos relating to said comic book covers. Mark's comic book pieces are exclusive one-offs and you can find a few of them for sale here via the Mishka online shop. Comic, art, and fashion fiends alike should all find something here to pique their interest. Thanks to Miguel Irons and Mike Bortnick for allowing me the photo-op.

Apple's iPhone 4GS/3GS 4G?

Tue, 20 Apr 2010 01:39:00 -0700

See the full gallery on Posterous

As a nut for technology, this makes me nuttier. Yesterday, shots of the purported fourth-generation iPhone leaked my way via a story somewhat similar to my point&shoot camera recovery, albeit more nefarious. The shots and investigated specs amount to the below. Android, WackBerry, and Palm are due for their comeuppance... although out of the three I bet Android fares the better. Will you be picking one up?

Specs:

1. Front-facing camera

2. Better back-facing camera with dedicated flash

3. Thinnest iPhone form factor to date

4. Second mic for noise cancellation

5. Higher-resolution display albeit smaller in size than previous generation

6. New glass/ceramic encased backing

7. ... Not to mention the long overdue multi-tasking oriented iPhone OS4

A couple of weeks back I was granted a photo-op by Renato Garcia, manager of the lifestyle boutique, Commonwealth, to capture a photography exhibit called "Hang 'Em High" at their Norfolk location. The exhibit featured 6 local photographers from the Tidewater area and their work, as seen below. Commonwealth, open since 2004, have two locations; Norfolk and Washington DC. If you're in the area, stop in- say hi- and pick up some dope gear... after first coming over to my family's shop. Thanks Renato.

Photography Credits:

1. Liz Carney (2)
2. Darrell Bryant (3-6)
3. Howard Tarpey (7)
4. Jeff Ocampo (8-9)

Sunset Blvd - Train Coming (Dousk Remix)

Fri, 02 Apr 2010 15:34:00 -0700

This is so tune. The original version by Sunset Blvd is good, but I much prefer the Dousk version. The quintessential summer deep-house jam that should be on your playlist, imho.

STPL 2010

Thu, 01 Apr 2010 04:34:00 -0700

STPL, a design-lifestyle brand borne and housed in your oh-so-trendy hood of the lower east side, has unveiled their 2010 spring collection before a uninhabited-scape of Wall Street. How symbolic than to hop on the coattails of this month's Vanity Fair issue titled, 'Money' - motif, or is it perhaps, coincidence? Having twice been employed in that 'burg of Manhattan, I can guarantee that no one would be caught dead dressing like that there, although the colors and silhouettes, made in Japan for this season, would make anybody think twice.

These select Thursday's feature gallery talks, a cash bar, live dj (spin some house!), and a prix fixe dinner for those artful and fashionably famished chic chic.

For those with no prior commitments, pick a hot date or take the one you have and make your way forth.

AHH!!!

Mon, 29 Mar 2010 23:09:00 -0700

WOW. Almost a year has gone by since I've regularly updated this site. A long year it has been as well too huh? I changed employment status, picked up several new drives/passions/hobbies, traveled, met some amazing people & not-so-amazing people. Goodbye 09; Hello 010! All-in-all: LIFE. GOOD-SHIT. WORD.

Let the circus begin!

For act 1, check out Joe Dolce's amazingly, heart-warming song:

AND FOR ACT 2 WATCH THIS!

Oh jeeeez...

Jeremy Scott x Adidas

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 21:32:13 -0700

by HC

I know, I know, it has been long overdue for Jeremy Scott's debut on my blog. A New-York designer by way of Missouri & Pratt Institute (go BK!), this guy has blown up celebrities with his avant-garde designs & as a result, has developed a cult following. Hit the pics for more reasons why Adidas did a collaboration with him...

I like the double-tongue & the wings, but the wings are hard to pull off. I would have to have an entourage of at least 15 bodyguards to stop anybody from accidentally stepping on 'em...

swagger X Nike Sportswear Terminator High Supreme

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 21:25:45 -0700

by HC

Forget Air Yeezy's! For Japanese brand, swagger's 10th anniversary, they paird up with Nike Sportswear to put their high-flying-lux stamp on a pair of iconic Terminator High Supreme. The shoes are deliberately mismatched & are inspired by a mint chocolate theme (if you haven't noticed?). The release date is not set, but I think that the leather is either Ostrich or Python. Who's got 3 grand to burn???

The (t@gG3d) True G20 Highlight-

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 20:55:41 -0700

by HC

Graffitti... that is, street graffitti, has got to be one of the most refreshing art forms in existence (check the Bansky post). Non-propelled by monetary incentives, much more so then than now, graffiti artists pursued this medium of expression spurred on by pride, angst, viability, & honest creative innovation. One such artist, D*Face aka Dean Stockton put his visible stamp during the G20 summit that recently occured in London. Tell me this wasn't honest creative innovation... please... someone...?

The pictures are in order from left-to-right chronicling the stages of D*Face-ment

Don't Trip Over Your Garbage Pail Kids! (Remixed by John Pound)

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 20:42:00 -0700

by HC

Everyone remember the Garbage Pail Kids?... Their lunchboxes, the trading cards, & the horrible movie? The Cabbage Patch Kids favorite nemesis are back at it again with a new series to be released on August 8th, 2009 as stated by the Topps Company (producers of immense card-collectible fame), after a stop & go with anniversary/past-"all- new- series" sets. With each character featuring a comical abnormality or terrible fate along with humorous word-play on the character name, here are a couple of snapshots of the Garbage Pail Kids revisited as drawn by original illustrator John Pound...

I particularly like the He-Man, Sarah Palin, & the Ramones... hah!

by HC

Yes, yes dear readers- (hah) I have returned to give you a daily fix. The first post back, & I will continue with a previous post I did on the Air Yeezy's.

(btw, whose spooky shadow is that in the center window?... could it be... Yeezy himself?)

The Air Yeezy's, a collaboration between Kanye West, & Nike were officially launched globally this past Saturday, 4/04/09. The beige/gray/white colorway- first of three colorways, each of which launches every month, consecutively were set for a $200 USD MSRP, while market forces (supply/demand) set the level at $800 USD on eBay.
