J.R. SMITH ON BODY CONTROL

I know Kayla and Reed are juiced for showing their boy some love. But it’s warranted. Definitely warranted. J.R’s done something like this before, but he’s also flopped terribly. I guess we all have our moments. I fuck with J.R though. Because no matter if he’s 10 for 10 or 1 for 10, he’s always [...]

THE GLASSWING BUTTERFLY (GRETA OTO)

I don’t know what to do. You’re so used to expecting the unexpected now. What’s a writer a to do? Keep going I suppose. Keep going. The Glasswing Butterfly is part of the brush-footed family, known for their front legs that resemble hairy brushes. However, it is the transparent tissue between the veins that [...]

FALL + WINTER BY VELOUR

I’m really starting appreciate the touch of simplicity. In design and presentation, it seems as though less is often times much much more. I think this rule applies to creativity as well. We see big brands imitate and small brands originate. Cough cough smiley face. But it’s good. We’re all just out here trying [...]

KIDS SING THE DARNDEST THINGS

This is pretty spectacular. Meet the PS22 Choir. A group of elementary and middle school kids from Staten Island who have found global fame by finding their voice. This song leaves a little to be desired, but kids are great so it’s all good. But what if this became the norm? Kids just started singing [...]

AN INTRODUCTION TO COCAINE COWBOYS

Today, I’d like share one of my favorite movies with you. Sweet Elizabeth brought this into my life many years ago and it has been my answer to “what’s your favorite movie?” ever since. I can’t even begin to relate to you how wet this movie is. Kof & Lan know. I watched it over [...]

A SATURDAY WITH SPIKE JONZE & OPENING CEREMONY

I still have yet to step through the doors of Opening Ceremony but when I do it’ll be a joyous occassion. Morgan’s in there now, so now ceremony is about to commence. In this short, Spike Jonze sits down with the creators of Opening Ceremony, Carol Lim and Humberto Leon to chat about the [...]

PICTURES > WORDS

Ladies and gentleman, I’ve come to a stark realization at 3:26PM. Today, I’ve realized that text messages are played out. They’re boring. They’re impersonal. They’re generic. Anyone can push some buttons with their thumbs. But who can show you the world through their eyes? It’s a little more work, but if you mean it then [...]

A CONVERSATION WITH MYKOLA DOSENKO

Recently I had the opportunity to chat with Mykola Dosenko, also known as Myk Dawg. Born and raised in Kiev, Ukraine, Mykola’s inspirations paint an interesting portrait of popular culture in the late 80’s and early 90’s. A self proclaimed graphic designer, celebrity chef, comedian and stunt driver, it was not difficult to strike up [...]

N.E.R.D. – “BABY DOLL”

Girl I feel just like a bird
Though I am just a nerd
I could fly around this world
With power from this word
We’ll bring the desert rain clouds
Fuck reality and doubt
Well they’ll be vultures I see
They’ll chase me
Girl I’m flying with thee…

HEROES ARE BORN EVERYDAY

OK GO – “THIS TOO SHALL PASS”

I’ll be honest. I don’t even fuck with Ok Go like that. At all. I saw them live once, and they were somewhere between mediocre and alright. However, this video is hands down one of the best music videos I’ve ever seen. Creativity knows no boundaries, and it’s unleashed the moment you start. Ok. Go. [...]

PAUL MOONEY ON ADDICTION

“The biggest drug is reality…”

THE EGG HOUSE

My first question with this one is why. I think the architects answer would be, “Why not?” I suppose there are multiple uses for the “house”. Whether you want to make it an office, or a kick it spot, the Egg House will hold it down. Equipped with a bathroom, kitchen, bed and storage space, [...]

LOVE VS. LUST BY GLORIA OSBORNE

“Love is patient, Love is kind, Love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude…”
I’m sure at one point in our lives, most of us have heard the infamous I Corinthians 13:4-7. This is a pretty uplifting definition of love isn’t it? But what happens when what we perceive to be love [...]
