Street Art


Spotted on the streets of Chicago. Made me laugh.

Deus Ex Machina

So I saw the board online the other day and checked it out in store. Was amazing ... was $2500.

Sweatpants are on the radar





Every man's dream come true - stylish tracksuit pants.

Wide waist bands. Cut slim like your favourite chinos with all the style you need to go from couch to cafe and back again. A lot of grey, navy, and red around. Just don't try and keep your wallet, keys, and phone in your back pocket!

I need me one of these.





I love everything about this slingshot - even the marketing blurb that ticks both the irresponsible toy and resposible gift boxes.

"This classic sling shot is hand made from branches of the Buckthorn bush, a European hedge plant commonly found in suburban neighborhoods in Minnesota, and now considered an invasive species. Buckthorn's hard "Y" branches are perfect for sling shots, and harvesting Buckthorn wood helps with efforts to control the species.

Natural latex tubing and a leather projectile pouch are attached to the sling shot using sinew. A light coat of hand rubbed mineral oil brings out the natural beauty of the wood."

The World Is A Dark Place

At least, that's what Karl Lagerfeld said after his 2011/12 fashion shows in Paris this week.

With black sand, volcanic rocks and remnants of smoke smoldering underneath the long wooden platform, running nearly the entire length of the exhibition hall, wall-sized images of burnt trees etched onto ceiling-height Styrofoam boards. Awesome. How cool are the 'thumb less' gloves and jumpsuits?








I like this ...


NY designer Andrew Buckler. Slick pants - little short without cuffing. Cons with black laces. Sharp jacket. Layered white jersey shirt and vest.  Nice.
