The journey of great projects: from New Orleans to...
In February 2011, american artist Candy Chang build the first ever ”Before I Die” wall. In a quest to inspire people in New Orleans(think: Hurricane Kathrina), she took a wall from an old abandoned house and changed it into an interactive artwork. The story behind her inspiration is really stunning, I can really recommend reading it!
All there is really is just this big chalkboard...

Fear of a Black Hat
After watching a documentary a while back, if I recall good it was Brent Owens documentary “Pimps Up, Ho’s Down”, a very catchy name I must add.

And with his friends Tasty...

ARTWORK: Jean-Philippe Delhomme for Maison Kitsuné
For the last couple of days this video was all over the web. Offcourse I do like the innovative way of showing this new collection. Far more fun and it definitely demonstrates creativity as well.
Too bad it makes us forget what Maison Kitsune did for the SS 2011 collection: amazing artwork done by JP Delhomme. Take a good look and read the captions, simply brilliant.

WatchRENDEZ-VOUS AT COLETTE
This short movie came out a long time ago on Colette, but It popped back in my mind again after a friend of mine asked me to tie his tie yesterday. It’s not hard to imagine why I liked it in the first place, I think it’s the combination of beautiful French language, slow background music and the close up’s at the end. For the educatitive people amongst us,...

THE KENNEDYS: Tribute to a stylish president

Including him becoming the youngest president ever at the age of 43 and everything else that comes with it.
If you’re not into this type of...
UWALL: Music Video's and nothing else
Discovered this by accident, while stumbling the web. All artists are on here, with all their music video’s. So why is it better than youtube?
When I search for a official music vid on youtube, I have to dig through all of the remixes, parodies and other crap that has nothing to do with the official video. After searching for 1 minute, it’s gets really annoying. When I’m on...
TRUE INSPRIATION: The Black Ivy
Everybody gets their inspiration from somewhere else. The Stones recorded the best songs while being on all kinds of dope, Mark began something big after fucking up a date and Frank started his business after the death of his boss.

WatchTHEOPHILUS LONDON: CENTURY GIRL
I’ve liked Theophilus since we first saw the ”Flying Overseas” video. The combination of a summer tune, nice beach, pendleton shirt, moscot shades and straw hats never felt so good.
In this new vid called ”Century Girls” the moscot shades and the hat are making a strong comeback appearance. So what do I especially like about it?...
