Nike Mexico invited a few artists to promote the opening of the first Nike sportswear store in Mexico City. The posters were all inspired by mexican culture and pasted all over the city. I'm not a big Nike supporter but these posters are pretty great.
I could use $20,000.00 and I'm sure many others could too. Field Report is a new web site that allows you to write and post essays to the site for a chance at the monthly grand prize of $20,000.00! How great is that? I'll be debt free in no time! haha
Yes that is a pink dominoes set. Most importantly it is soon to be mine! Days spent in the park playing dominoes with something yummy to drink are happy days. Get yours here.
I love chocolate, yes it's true. I've also been known to be partial to bacon. So why not put the two together in one wonderful treat?? Vosges Chocolatiers make the lovely Mo's Bacon Bar, a yummy blend of savory and sweet!
They also make a more playful version of this delight in the Flying Pig! How great is that?

The new issue of Los Angeles Magazine is out and it caught my eye. If you're familiar with the mag you're used to seeing sleek stylized photos gracing the cover every month. This month they went with hand drawn for their special feature of the area's best high schools. I know, I know, it's been "done". It's different for them and I dig it.

The Girl Effect; This is an amazing video. It's beautiful to watch, great concept, and it really has an important message to get out. It touches on so many important social issues; equality among the sexes, poverty, AIDS, hunger, and war. It creates a stimulating and captivating visual to demonstrate how things can sometimes be dramatically changed by just helping one person, or just one girl.
Beautiful Losers will be screening at the Landmark Nuart 8.29.08 - 9.08.08. The film documents the early 90's DIY (do-it-yourself) subcultures of surf, skateboarding, punk, hip hop & graffiti. I love the message behind it of Make Something, Share Something. Muuust...go...see....screening....
