This Is My Home

This Is My Home from Mark on Vimeo.

On an unseasonably warm November night in Manhattan on our way to get ice cream, we stumbled upon what appeared to be a vintage shop, brightly lit display window and all. As we began to walk in, a man sitting out front warned us that we were welcome to explore, but nothing inside was for sale. Our interests piqued, we began to browse through the collections the man out front had built throughout his life. This is a story of a man and his home.

COST OF LIVING Short...funny!

2012-02-20T12:42:00.000-08:00

COST OF LIVING from BenDavid Grabinski on Vimeo.

Limited time is often your enemy when it comes to creating engaging stories through film. Director by BenDavid Grabinski, however, manages to squeeze compelling Sci Fi action, suspense, and a ton of laugh out loud moments into his debut short entitled Cost of Living. Starring Brandon Routh (of Superman Returns fame), it’s one of the higher budget films we’ve featured in our Viewfinder series, and it shows in the best possible way.

Action/Comedy/Sci-Fi
Written and Directed by BenDavid Grabinski
Cast: Brandon Routh, Bret Harrison, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead

2012-02-20T12:21:00.000-08:00

Rotobox really pulling at the kid in me with this homage to the OG Power Rangers: GO RANGERS...! I was obsessed with these guys as a kid. Interestingly, my 4 year old is obsessed with Power Rangers today...! My favorite was the #2 Blue Ranger. Go figure...! lol....

Rotobox Celcius is the perfect platform to bring these guys to life once again. Can hardly wait to see it.

Microtech Matrix is Ripping Off Zero Tolerance 0777?

2012-02-17T00:37:00.000-08:00

Microtech Matrix

Zero Tolerance 0777

Minor uproar in the Knife community recently. While most of us are waiting to get our grubby hands on the Zero Tolerance 0777 which was named 2011 "Overall Knife of the Year" by BLADE Magazine, it seems another manufacturer, Microtech is launching a very similar design called the Matrix. What do you think? Rip-Off or Homage?

Microtech Matrix

Zero Tolerance 0777

Personally, I think it's pretty cheesy to blatantly rip off ZT's design right after they won Knife of the Year. There are so many elements that are a like. In the end, there is a $100 difference in price with Microtech being more expensive. In general, the response has been unfavorable towards the practice by Microtech. I'm not sure they give a shit though. At the end of the day, they will sell a bunch of these as well.

Finger Boarding Looks Easy

This dude Taylor is a pro skater that has tricky skills using his feet and fingers both on the blacktop and table top. Pretty cool.

The Insane Art of Mat Brown

2012-02-16T01:00:00.000-08:00

I spotted a glimpse of these insane illustrations on LOST AT E MINOR this morning, but then got the full front assault when I went to the DRTENGE site. Holy Shit. Apparently all of this work by artist Mat Brown is being compiled for a book to be released soon. I can hardly wait. I don't know how to describe it. Hyper detailed semi religious iconography set in the Garden of Eden but in Piloscene era? I love the mix of pastel colors with the psychotic violence amongst the trees, flowers, ocean and dinosaurs. So much going on here. I love it. Mat, come over and paint the walls of my kid's room.

The Dark Lens by Cedric Delsaux

2012-02-16T00:26:00.000-08:00

French photographer Cedric Delsaux took a bunch of pictures around interesting looking buildings and backdrops in urban France and super imposed your favorite Star Wars characters. Cool photography but nothing earth shattering. He then handmakes a book with a print and gets George Lucas to write an intro and is selling it for 800 euros. wow...

Kaiyodo Revoltech BAPE Milo

2012-02-16T00:08:00.000-08:00

It was bound to happen. With Kaiyodo running out of characters to license for their Revoltech line, it was inevitable that something like this would happen. Why not? Revoltech Milo. Complete with camo guitar, BAPE lightning star logo, bananas and hat.

Two great things about this toy:

1. Limited articulation so you don't need to worry about posing him using those finnicky revoltech joints.

2. This is probably going to be the least expensive BAPE item you can buy. That is unless it's $250 or something whack like that.

Bonsai Tree Houses by Takanori Aiba

2012-02-16T00:01:00.000-08:00

Japanese artist Takanori Aiba used to be an architect and maze designer/illustrator. He decided to take his skills to creating these table top worlds that would fit in a Bonzai Tree vase. Using paper, plastic, plaster, resin and paint, he creates these amazing, intricate and tiny buildings around bonsai trees.
