Deathbowl to Downtown

I know it has been days since my last post. I'm not a very good blogger :( . Just nothing new or exciting to tell you sometimes.

Anyways, came across this post from Hypebeast and I thought this was interesting. I used to skate about 4 - 5 years ago, just skate, no tricks. I wish I learned how to do street because I love what the skaters can do on the terrain. In any case, a movie made by NCP Film, is a documentary about the history of skateboarding in New York City. With promises to be an unprecedented film, the documentary not only explore the culture of street skating, but also provides an anthropological overview of skating's shift from the 70's to modern day. Read more here, and check out the vid below.

For those of you who don't know Zaki Ibrahim, I am proud to introduce you to her and her music. I have known her for many years and since moving to the East, specifically Toronto, she has been focusing and working hard towards her dream: Music. The question that many have asked is: Is she the next Amy Winehouse? But in a good way. I encourage you to experience her music and her talent. Please visit her website at: www.zakiibrahim.com.

Please be sure to check out www.almightypaulmighty.com. Paul has been a long time friend of mine and is an innovator of sorts. We used to DJ back in the day when the height of turntablism was at it's peak. In any case, he's been designing and making t-shirt prints. He's makin' moves, so keep a close eye on him in 2008-2009. (Great work Pluskratch!!) His limited design t-shirts have been doing well too, as they're always sold out. Be sure to cop one or all. Almighty Paul Mighty = Fresh.

Boombox Saints Performance @ Fabric

Wednesday, April 16, 2008

Once again, the Boombox Saints performed and delivered great sets. The first half of their show showcased their hip hop talents with Pluskratch playing the beats. On the mic were J.P., Adi and Huggy Fresh a.k.a. Jeff. Each brought their own unique and verbal talents. For their second set, they toned it down with an acoustic one with Mark Robson on the guitar. Watch out for these guys, they're creepin' up!

Joge-e (上下絵)


I thought this was pretty cool. This type of art is from the Meiji-era in Japan. It's called Joge-e or "2-way pictures". Each viewing angle enables the viewer to see a different image.
