Make Something

In conjunction with The Beautiful Losers release, Nike has rounded up a group of super influential artists and designers to put together a workshop / documentary project entitled Make Something. I haven’t gotten through all of the clips but have seen more than enough to know how rad this is. Make sure to swing by and check it out for yourself. Via: Kitsune Noir

Matter’s 10th Annual Printsale & Party

I’ve had an art school crush on Matter studio since… well art school. So it tickles me pantone to announce that MATTER’s 10th Annual printsale & party is coming up on December 19th. If the last nine years have been any indication of what you can expect, then I would assume this is show that will make you smirk with envy when gazing upon their printed goods and masterful handling of all things type.

The Power of 10

Watching this sort of micro documentary brings me back to my youth and gets me all inspired. The narrator’s voice, the music, even the material being presented makes me feel like being creative. It stands somewhere near the root of my original inspiration to be an artist and ultimately become a designer, plus this shit is just downright interesting!

Lifter Baron’s Sunday Best

So I thought I would try something a little different today. Instead of posting one or two long and probably under informative entries, I will do only one big post highlighting a list of things that caught my eye this morning. Thus, leaving the information seeking portion to you and letting the viewers decide what content is exciting. So take a second, look through the content and search your little hearts out. Enjoy.

A book cover can really change your opinion on the reading material. Crush Agency, out of the UK, makes me think twice about diving into a book of such controversial proportions through a simple but effective cover redesign. Via FormFiftyFive

The Apartment, an interior design group out of NYC, converted an old YMCA into a nasty (good nasty) 5 bedroom apartment building. Pretty rad. Via DesignYouTrust

Radiohead takes another “new age” step in marketing and releases all of the instrumental elements from the track, Reckoner, to the public. Diplo does official remix to launch the effort. Fans and musicians get to pitch in and make their own remixes. Via Booooooom!

An interesting look into some of the statistics and American demographic research compiled by Bill. Great content, sexy site. Via ffffound

Terry Richardson knows how to take a good flick or two. Here is what happens when you out him in a room with Barack Obama and put a Vibe budget behind it. Old news, but still pretty refreshing. Via Hypebeast

Emory Allen

While searching the interwebs for information about my friends and I, I came across this gentleman’s Flickr account with examples of work and interestingly enough a picture of a MPLS landmark. After doing a tiny bit of digging, I realized he had submitted some stuff to the S&F competition and shared a lot of similar interests. I even came across a radical piece he did for Fuel TV! Emory Allen seems to be a super talented and creatively charged individual currently located here in MPLS and working with Make Visual. Check out more of his work at ocularinvasion.com.

Adam Haynes x Soft & Furry

Adam Haynes is another mega talented artist involved in the Soft & Furry project. His recent creation for the show is absolutely amazing in my opinion. I know first hand how hard it is to work with this medium and to do it with such an unexpected direction and craftsmanship is wild. I don’t have the details on materials used and haven’t gotten to see it in actuality, but from the looks of the photos, it’s going to capture the attention of everyone at the Plastic Chapel show in the next few weeks. Good job Adam! You’ve impressed and inspired us all… Keep that shit rollin!

Ras Gallery & Bookstore - Barcelona

Here is a quick introduction to an awesome and inspirational gallery / bookstore in Barcelona, Spain called Ras. Ras supports the subculture that I personally think is very influential and important to our lifestyles and careers. I’ve always been super interested in opening a shop such as this sometime in the future. These videos definitely help keep me inspired and focused on my entrepreneurial goals and make all the hard work it takes to get there worth while. Thanks to Flake tv for the video!

Cypher13 Goes… Somewhere

I don’t know why I don’t write about these fellas more often. They’re seriously kickin’ asses in places I’ve never dreamed of. Most people, only try to appeal to their clients and do the whole show up at 9 and leave at 4:45 thing, not these gents. For these guys, sleep is optional and appeal is for pussies. This is their special sauce, their power animal, and their destiny; there is no one who can get in the way of their magical creative powers. That’s right, these boys are more than Centaurs, they’re designers. And damn good ones too! I had the luxury of working with Cypher13 back in 2007 on a variety of schemey projects and plans that are only growing more intense in strategy and outcome. It kinda makes me jealous, but more accurately keeps me inspired and pumped on my 15 hour days working to be Kung Fu true and at one with the way of the designer… But that’s another story all together…
