Extraordinary

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 and over in Tendrich. I don’t know. It’s just my kinda shit. Reality will always outdo fiction, because that shit actually happened. And nothing is crazier than that.

BBC’S LIFE: FIRST TIME ON FILM

As somebody who’s spent extensive time getting blown and watching Planet Earth, I can say that this definitely looks like the movement. Coming to Discovery March 23rd, BBC’s original 11-part series, Life will give viewers a chance to see nature at it’s most extraordinary. The video above highlights the numerous “firsts”, or never-before captured natural phenomena that the makers of Life were able to get on film. I’m juiced already.

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.

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, the Egg House, known to the architects as the blob VB3 is a one of a kind space aimed to spark the imagination while providing a functional living space. Imagine if you hot boxed this. You could come back and tell your friends you hot boxed an egg. Now that’s a story.

Just trying to get us all on the same page here. You know how it goes. Featured above is a player widely considered to be one of, if not the greatest in the world. A simple clip of him doing what he does. Some say real, others say fake. Bowties. Believe it or not.

LIFE UNDERWATER

Golden State Cafe Image 9
Photos By Andre Shpatak

Every time I’m at the beach I marvel at how little we know about the ocean. Just trying to post up in the ocean is an enjoyable ordeal. Scientists say that there may be up to 9 million undiscovered species in the ocean. And even if they were half right, that’s incredible. I would really like to go scuba diving. Rob went a while back and it got me juiced. Hopefully we’d encounter some of the animals presented here. A peculiar experience indeed.

TOKYO/GLOW

Something about massive urban centers at night is just so damn beautiful. Tokyo, in particular is one of those places you never get tired of looking at. Tokyo/Glow is the collaborative work of director Jonathan Bensimon and footwear brand The Generic Man, showing the journey of an illuminated man through the city streets of Tokyo. For those thinking this is digital manipulation at work, the creators of Tokyo/Glow insist that the light-up man is in fact a dude in a suit, constructed from hundreds of feet of high-voltage LED rope lights, and a translucent outer shell. All technical talk aside though, this is just a dope piece of art. Take a look for yourself.

TELEVISION GRAPHICS BY MATT BILFIELD

The graphics of Matt Bilfield relate the beauty of perspective. Made up of over a thousand hand cut, sanded and painted wooden dowels, Matt’s television graphics seek to provide his audience with a unique viewing experience based upon their particular vantage point. In his own words, Matt describes the purpose of his work, while relating his intentions:

When it comes to art, my inclination drives me toward creating pieces where the vantage point dictates the image, in turn activating the viewer. Where the television screen has the plastic framework as its boundary, I wanted to extend that boundary to the dimensions of the room itself. My idea was that everyone seeing the art gets to have his or her own unique perspective.

THE AUTUMN CROCUS

I’m falling in love with flowers. Untouched by the human hand, flowers are merely nature in its finest form. The colors, the shapes, the intricacies. All wonderful things. Where are the girls that wear flowers in their hair? I think I’d like to meet them. As for Crocuses, they can be found in a range of areas, from meadows to woodlands and are known to vary in color from lilac to yellow to white. I don’t know. Flowers just seem so perfect to me. Flowers are like our lives. We start out small and blossom into something beautiful. Yes. That is it. And now it’s time for bed.

SEWN FROM THE SOUL BY STREET ETIQUETTE

This is the inaugural so let’s start from the beginning. The brainchild of Joshua Kissi and Travis Gumbs, Street Etiquette is the creative effort of the duos interests, passions, and personal style. Combining a weekly selection of looks and outfits, Street Etiquette has managed to develop a keen fashion sense that’s suited for the urban environment of New York City. Travis and Joshua’s most recent project Sewn From The Soul is a celebration of iconic African Americans who have inspired thoughtfulness and creativity through their work. The Renaissance is here, and these cats are at the forefront. It’s getting worse and worse everyday. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

ZOMBIE SNAILS

Think of us as facilitators. Facilitators with the sole purpose of sharing all that is wonderful. Assist men perhaps. The Chris Pauls and John Stocktons of the internet. Laugh out loud. The Chris Paul of the internet. Damn. But in all seriousness. This is actually going on. And this shit actually happened. And this is just what’s been caught on tape. So I can only imagine what hasn’t. That is all.
