The second issue of The Hundreds Magazine is off to the printers, but for now, they hooked up a sneak peek at some outtakes from their Spring 2010 pictorial (which is in stores now).  The shoot was produced in New York by Pia Arrobio and photographed entirely by 13th Witness.

Just in time for Mardi Gras and to celebrate the New Orleans Saints’ Super Bowl win, New Balance introduces the Mardi Gras collection which features the 525 for men and 460 for women. Remaining true to the comfort and light-weight design specific to New Balance, the 525 and 460 silhouettes offer detailed design and accents especially for Mardi Gras. With a fleur de lis symbol on the tongue label and heel tab and a festive gender-specific mask image on the shoe insert, the sneakers radiate the excitement of Mardi Gras.

Both silhouettes celebrate the party in the theme colors of green, purple and gold on a black or white sneaker. Each pair showcases three beads on the shoelaces to represent the tradition of Mardi Gras throws.

Available in white or black versions for both men and women at Finish Line and Shoe Show.

Sperry Top-Sider comes with a solid collection of casual kicks for Fall/Winter 2010.  Their popular designs are recreated in fall-appropriate colorways and materials for the colder days. There are several outdoor inspired shades such as a reddish earth brown tumbled leather with matching laces, and another in a mix of plaid and suede. The Bahamas stay slightly reminiscent of summer in a pale green wash with slightly distressed leather for a worn-in look. The popular boat shoes are reworked in what seems like worsted wool for added warmth and another tan suede pair is lined generously in fleece to keep feet warm and socks optional.  Launches in September!

His often lewd expressions of the female form are honest appreciations of the male/female sexual interaction. Erratic brushwork and wild compositions convey a superficial sense of anarchy while the delicate and exotic portraits betray chaos, revealing a passionate love of women. In Choe’s work, discordance and serenity exist in impossible harmony. His paintings are testament to the fact that the gritty and the offensive are often necessary constituents of raw beauty.

David’s disinterest in social approval allows him to exist in a realm of indulgence. Whether painting murals, canvases, or quick street pieces, the raw honesty element drives deep into the psyche of the viewer.  A subliminal stirring of still waters, his paintings are engaging in a way that cannot always be justified as simply, aesthetically pleasing.

A seasoned globetrotter, David Choe’s murals cover walls from his native Los Angeles to Vietnam. His fine art has seen exhibitions in London, Beijing, Los Angeles, New York, and San Franciso. His intricate brush strokes and characters have made their way into commercial projects as well, working with Marvel Comics, Levis, and Nike. His art, photos, and writing have been featured in Giant Robot, Hustler, Juxtapoz, and Vice magazines. He also self-published three comic/journals: Bruised Fruit, Cursiv and Slow Jams. Most recently, he was featured in the documentary about his work “Dirty Hands.”

“Character Assassination” features new works on display at FIFTY24SF Gallery February 5 – March 24, 2010.
