Dryer Buzzer “Huh”

My homie Matt just informed me he released his first full length album. His music is a mix of lo-fi, hip hop, garage, and avant garde. It’s sort of reminds me of Caural in that Matt plays all of the instruments and records and mixes it all himself. Congrats Matt! Go to his Myspace page to listen and download. Don’t forget to donate to his his cause for all of the hard work.

Free Obey Obama Sticker

Go get a free Obama sticker designed by ubiquitous Shepard Fairey, who lent his design to help raise some money. You get 1 for free or for a small $3 donation you can get 5. I am putting my donation in now. Go get one or 50 now. Allow 5 to 7 weeks for shipping.

I LOVE US

So we did it. America wins. To celebrate, Bran made some nice tees and totes to wear with pride. Go buy one and support the hope and dream that we pull ourselves out of this rut we have been in for the last 8 years.

Obama Ding Bats

Jeff Domke has been nice enough to make some Obama Dingbats for designer dorks like me and you. Go download them here to celebrate our new hope.

President Obama

Maybe it’s too early. What the hell. He has 283 electoral votes. I am in tears. Tears of joy. I can’t believe I am living in a historical period in our great country. I am so proud to be American. I am happy to say we all have made the right choice! The real victory is for all of us Americans. God Bless the USA!

L’Idiot Savant

I am loving this tee by Bill McMullen. Check it out at 2K.

Typotheque : Pocket Calendar

Do you need a new sketchbook? Do you like big chunky type? Well I do! Typotheque has released a nice limited edition pocket sized calendar/sketchbook. It includes most major international holidays on the calendar and a nice mix of graph paper patterns to doodle in. Pick it up here for about $20 depending on the currency conversion.

Eco Cool | Mini E

Available soon to the US is the Mini E, an ALL ELECTRIC 204 hp engine and a 0 to 60 in about 8 seconds. That’s a lot of pep for an electric! It can also travel up to 150 miles on a full charge. Speaking of charge, it only takes 2.5 hours to get a full charge. The only draw back, only 500 are going to be leasing in 3 states. California, New York, and New Jersey to commercial and private parties. I am working on getting on the list.

Eco Cool | Audi A1 Sportback Hybrid

This concept from Audi is probably the coolest looking hybrid vehicle concept out there. The Audi A1 Sportback is powered by a 1.4 liter TSI gas burning engine equipped with both a turbo and supercharger (INSANE RIGHT!) and a 20 kw electric motor. In Hybrid mode the 2 engines propel the A1 from 0 to 60 in like 8 seconds. Now that isn’t blistering fast but for a hybrid that is peppy. There is an all electric mode too that can drive for 60 miles without using gas. Not bad! All that and it looks pretty freakin’ hot. It’s slated for a 2009 production and should be hitting the US market for sure. I can’t wait personally, this could be my next car.

New Site & Blog on the way

Just so all of you who visit my blog (all 6 of you) know. I have a new portfolio site and fresh new blog on the way. This is why I have been so slow to post on my blog now. I am spending most of my free time getting those together. It should be with a month or so. Thanks for being patient. When they go live you should expect all of the old mixes I took down off this blog there as well as new ones. Thanks BLee for helping me out with Word Press too!

Tom Koh at Mobius Tonight

My homie Tom has an art opening at Mobius in K-Town tonight. If you live in LA check it out there should be some great work there. Congrats Tom!

Handlebar Staches

Are you an international man of mystery? Do you like Vaudeville theatre? Reenacting DDL’s epic There Will Be Blood performance? Love Rollie Fingers? If you are, now you can look the part. HWW Mannequins has a plethora of fake mustaches and beards to choose from. They range from $40 to $70. Just in time for Halloween. Joy!

Desperate For Love

Desperate For Love is a lush short film comprised in Bran’s Psst! Pass it On style involving some pretty stellar talents in the motion biz. Curated by Ryan Dunn of Vitamin Pictures, the six piece exquisite corpse moves from director to director with ease to the soundtrack of Over the Rhine’s aptly titled “Desperate for Love.” Great work everyone.

Young Guns 6

Here’s a shot of me and Stephen trying to get our drink on at the Young Guns 6 opening party. I as well as 49 other artists/designers were honored with our award that night. It really was an honor because there was such a great pool of people this year they had to choose from. View the winners work here.

Modern Rockers | Mod Rocker

The Mod Rocker by Iglooplay is probably the coolest chair you can buy for your kid. The form and material invite kids to play, read or simply relax. In the Walnut finish, my favorite, it looks incredible and comfortable. There is an option to add a seating pad but I like it without. The prices aren’t too bad either running in the range of $285 to $385 depending on the finish. My kids will definitely have one of these to sit and read in.

Modern Rockers | Savannah Rocker

The Savannah Rocker is designed by Jolyon Yates and is simply stunning. It’s a reclined rocker and has a flowing unibody construction. It is sculpted from birch ply. Prices are upon request so don’t expect this baby to come cheap. Think of it as functional art for your butt.

Modern Rockers | Eames Shell Rocker

At a slight friendlier price of $450 is the classic Eames Molded Plastic Shell Rocker. They come in an assortment of colors and are actually pretty darn comfy. It may not be the most original choice but you can’t beat the classics right.

Modern Rockers | Stingray Rocker

I thought a nice series of postings would be modern rockers. To start this beautiful rocker designed by Thomas Pederson is absolutely perfect. It somehow feels modern and warm at the same time. It could be due to the warm molded wood or bright punch of warm green on the fabric upholstered version. It’s also insanely expensive so if you have about $4500 laying around then it is the option for you. This is definitely on the high end of the spectrum.

Happy 30th Birthday George

I just wanted to post a Happy 30th to George Strategakos. He’s one of my best friends from childhood. We’re still good homies. He’s practically my brother. In celebration I am posting this image from the Greek Islands. See you there next year for the big wedding celebration Geo. Hope you have a fun night out.

Son Lux “Stay” directed by Matt Morgan

Beautiful song. Beautiful video. Directed by my good friend Matt Morgan. Watch and enjoy.
