“To make a mountain of your life is just a choice. But I never learned enough to listen to the voice that told me always love. Hate will get you every time.”
-Nada Surf, Always Love off their album This Weight is a Gift.

Following suit with the last post about Shepard - check his Gallery Subliminal in L.A.
I really love the past exhibition images from Dee Dee Cheriel. What an outstanding name too, right?!

Arkitip have a sick poster by Shepard Fairey (see OBEY) that I hadn’t yet seen, titled “Fiend Rocker”. Definitely want to grab this if the budget allows. Also, check the story behind Arkitip - I’d love to see more companies/publications take this route and responsibility on their shoulders.

Nothing like new lace-ups. period.

If this little guy doesn’t say “Word to your mother”, I don’t know what does. Hit up the DWR site for more metro-design-lover-related hotness.

On the DWR topic - I picked up some translucent Cubitec Shelving Units a while back and they are unbelievable. Snaps of them in my studio after the jump.

In the BMX industry, “Web Edits” are all the rage. While it seems like a new video is posted somewhere of some crew doing some tricks almost daily, almost no one can touch the quality that Mutiny is pushing with each of their contributions.

Their latest Team Edit (which was actually released moths ago) is a must see. The titling is absolutely amazing and truly reflects the attention to detail and passion for photography behind the lens. The download options are also a really nice touch.

You NEED to GET THE NEW GIRL TALK ALBUM if you haven’t already. It instantly made my day when I grabbed it over the weekend. Enjoy!

Obamaspoke.com is a cool little project that creates spoke cards which feature the work of stencil artist Margaret Coble. All proceeds of the cards will be reinvested in the project to produce more cards. Obama is down for the Public Transit/bicycling cause, so show your support and grab some cards to help promote this outstanding leader.

Max at Wire Sounds posted a little edit of one of the performances from the most recent ZERO PLAN show. This is best viewed in HD on the actual Vimeo Site.

Hillman Curtis has been a major inspiration for me. His short films and books communicate clearly, with an honesty that borders on vulnerability. ‘Human’ is the word that comes to mind if I had to pinpoint the overarching qualities of why the work always captures me. The Hillman Curtis site recently re-designed. The new design is simple and accentuates the work it presents. The Short Films are especially well done, with a new short titled ‘Bridge‘. The Artist Series is not to be missed either.
