Wild Thing

Benjamin Button was Brilliant.

So last night, I went with a great group of people to watch the highly anticipated David Fincher film, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button. With Brad Pitt as the star, the movie tells a story of a man born old, and as he ages, he physically grows younger. It is a sad and beautiful tale of his life journey, the meaning of losing people, and the fact of cherishing things at the moment. Although it was three hours long, the film progresses really well. This film is by far the best movie I have seen this year. The cinematography was absolutely incredible, and Pitt's acting is superb. Well Done. Another amazing David Fincher/Brad Pitt collaboration.

Let's talk Zuckerman.

Andrew Zuckerman, is an amazing and award winning photographer and director out of New York. He directed the film High Falls, and has released two books Creature, and Wisdom displaying his incredible photographs. Creature was what really got me into this guy. I was at the bookstore, and my fascination with animals led me over to a book with a beautiful cover of a black panther cub photo on a white background. I looked through the book and absolutely fell in love. Each photograph showed an animal at a moment frozen in time. Some of the images actually look fake, and you get lost in the idea that so many animals have such humanistic characteristics. Go check out this man's beautiful work.

This day couldn't have been better.

So I had such a great day today. Cami & Myself hit up the Miami area with intentions of seeing crazy toys, art, and chillin' hard. We went out met up with my buddy Juan, and did what we do best. Then we spent 11 hours together of just "chillin' hard." So then I come home, check my inbox and see a wonderful email regarding a new shoe Puma is bringing out next year. By far, an amazing amazing design. From what I've read up on this one, this Clyde is part of a new pack coming out entitled the Japanese Monster Pack. It is based off of Japanese monster films from the 70's. These are expected to release in limited quantities round March of next year. I cannot wait for this shoe to drop. Goodnight.

I was always the kid writing on the chalkboard. This is appropriate.

 

So this watch comes from Fortis Designs, and is designed by Rolf Sachs. It is inspired by school blackboards, and features a chalkboard dark green face, with the markings and numbers as chalk. There are 999 models available, and I have no clue where to find one. Ooh well. I love this shit.

Universal Mind Control is Mind Blowing.

So today is a really good day for me, and for the hip hop industry. My favorite artist, Common released his 8th album entitled, Universal Mind Control. Entirely produced by The Neptunes & Mr. Dj, this album has a great sound and direction. It's fun, its uplifting, its groovy. I just feel like this is the kind of music that needs to be on our ears. A true breath of fresh air. I love Common's ambition and drive to do something different, and no matter what he puts out, his music is always from the soul and super good. Key tracks on this album are, What A World, UMC, Inhale, And Sex 4 Sugar. Please go buy this record.

I'm moving in.

Well Hello most beautiful home ever! I saw this and my mouth dropped. This house was designed by architects Powerhouse Company, and is located in the Netherlands. It has been nominated for the Dutch Design Awards, and surely deserves to win. This is just incredible! It goes by the name of Villa 1. With an insane interior, and half the house actually underground, this glass box is located in the woodlands of Holland. I better step up with my Dutch, because guys; this is it. I want this house. NOW. 

Absolutely Wonderful.

This is my favorite post of the week. Dutch designer, Guus Van Leeuwen created these radiators based on animal shapes at the Design Academy Eindhoven graduation show. He used steel tubes to create the shape of the animals, and then they are given a skin that represent them. The skin attracts you yo to get near and touch, warming you up as you feel them. The tails of the animals can easily be connected to the central heating system. I still don't entirely comprehend how these magnificent things actually work, but I adore them. 

I've always wanted one of these.

I've always wanted a dope bowtie, and this one is. Band Of Outsiders. Available now at Honeymee.com Apparently this little puppy isn't too cheap, or a USA item to order.

Wow.

I'm not even gonna type this one. Just Admire this gorgeous fixed gear bicycle. And then, picture me on it.

Killlerrrrrr

Damn. Vans X Huf Satin Pack. I want all of them, every color. These caught my eye back when I saw concept designs of them, and they are supposed to drop any day now. Yes!

Here it is, the Tattoo I want!

I really loved this the second I saw it. My girl Lindsey has a Kurt Hasley tattoo already, wich I loved when I saw it. Since she showed me some of his work, I began to take a big interest in his art. She showed me this piece tonight, and I really fell in love.
