Current TV have put together this video about KRINK pens and its creator Craig Costello. The video gives a basic run down of the brands evolution and history, from a small grass roots company to a full fledged business. Check the video for the full breakdown.

Salt lake Temple letterpress poster by Cameron Moll

Posted on December 19, 2008 | 1 Comment

even though I’m not a huge font nerd (that’s more Brendan’s schtick), this poster by American artist Cameron Moll really caught my eye. put together a letter at a time over 100+ hours, he used the Bickham Script Pro, Engravers MT, and the Epic typeface families to construct the image. they go for $75 US and can be purchased here.

Lanvin tennis shoes

Posted on December 18, 2008 | Leave a comment

even though I pretty much only wear Chucks when it comes to trainers, I could really get in to these Lanvin jams. simple and clean with a slim profile, these are what men’s casual shoes should look like. but with a $570 US price tag I’ll definitely have to wait until they go on mega super sale at Holt like I did with my boat shoes.

Track Bike Times Edit #2

Posted on December 17, 2008 | Leave a comment

it has been snowy and sub-zero here in Victoria for the last week and it shows no signs of letting up, with the forecast calling for cold and ice all the way to the new year. besides all the snow, the salt and sand make it less than ideal for getting out for a ride. this is making me crazy – there is only so many track stand sessions I can do in my living room (at least I have hardwood..). anyway, Tracko just posted this vid and it’s really helping me live vicariously through these rippers.

ad appreciation: Hedi Slimane for Prada spring 2009

Posted on December 17, 2008 | Leave a comment


Prada have recently teamed up with designer/photographer Hedi Slimane to shoot an ad for their Spring 2009 campaign. Slimane, the former designer for Dior Homme, has never worked with Prada before, and after leaving Dior last year Slimane has really been focusing on his photography. For this shoot Slimane took black and white portraits of Claude and Louis Simonon, the sons of Paul and Trish Simonon, the bass player and manager of the The Clash. In a statement Prada said the brothers were photographed “in moments of reflection and introspection. It is a symbolic yet understated approach to desire in mens wear; a new classicism with a rebel edge.”

Mishka + Actual Pain

Posted on December 16, 2008 | Leave a comment


even though this is ancient news in blogland, I figured I would big up the Mishka + Actual Pain collaboration anyway. I’m not really a streetwear or graphic tee guy, but when something is good something’s good, right? the shirt featured above should arrive at my friend Larry’s place shortly (he’s a Mishka preferred customer ha), and I’m really stoked to get gully in my fresh white Rusputin shirt. the other items from the collection are good too.. check them out here.
