ART

I thought this was a photograph, or at least a heavily photoshopped photo but this in fact was painted(!). Just one of the pieces in the current exhibit "The New Realism" at Thinkspace Art Gallery on Washington Blvd. in Culver City (I used to live on Washington Blvd..damn you Jerry for taking so much of our security deposit..bastard) Anyways, this exhibit looks unreal. Check it out if you have the means.

Also since we're in art mode right now, another gallery has an exhibit completely devoted to the truly wonderful, Sharpie. This appeals to my doodling nature where notes from class had very little notes on them by the end of it. Really hoping to get to this exhibit on Saturday, I bet the stuff done with a Sharpie is amazing. Again, check it out if you have the chance.

DOPE

Another late night at work has me browsing. Came across these. I'm not the biggest adidas fan (have a pair that I ball in but thats its) but these Forums just smacked me across the face and woke me up. Super ill color scheme with leather and snake skin. No denying the freshness of these. Part of their 2011 collection. Might have to be on the look-out for these when they drop next spring.

The 50 Greatest Sneakerhead Moments in Popular Culture

Yes yes yal. Well, I've been kinda bored here at work today and came across this little gem. However..me being at work, some sites are blocked(like this one for some reason) and I can't check out the list. Sneakers are something not everyone has as much love for as true kicks aficionados but sometimes even sneakers cross the boundries into pop culture and cannot be ignored. Since I can't look at this list, I need you to and tell me what's up.

Bundle Up

Makes me miss winter and cold weather gear. There's something about the feel of a good heavy jacket or hoodie. Everyone bugs out here in LA when it's in the 50's...oh well. Here's some crazy collaboration between Carhartt and the Japanese clothing company Mastermind. Pretty dope.

Carhartt hoodie will be worn all Xmas break in PA. Get your winter gear on:

The "Flint" AJ XIIIs were released on Black Friday and almost instantly sold out but have been re-stocked today. It's like if if you ran out of Thanksgiving turkey but then you realized you had a whole other fried turkey left to eat. If you were sleeping on Black Friday, wake up and go get a pair. One of the sexiest colorways on a AJ sneak IMO. I missed the Space Jam release and am still kicking myself, not with these, mine are chillin at home.

And as a heads up here's all the Jordan release dates for the month of December courtesy of nicekicks.com. I'll be sleeping outside nike town on Dec. 23rd if anyone wants to join me...
