its 7.01 and i'm going to bed (don't think about it, just accept it), to celebrate my admittance of insomnia i've left you with two pics (that actually have nothing to do with anything i just said... but.... i like to compare and contrast the two... exhibit a. well rested randomchild, exhibit b. randomchild now)
peace"
whats better than a happy couple?
a fly-ass couple.
call me shallow but damn, nobody appreciates the half hearted attempt of candidate A to 'emulate flyness of candidate B'.
nor is candidate A's 'willingness to accommodate candidate B's lack of swagger'.... in any way acceptable, infact it borders on egregious (darn, was that an exaggeration?).
peep the lanvin platforms and the lanvin hi's.... see how they work together?.... they illustrate my (bitchy, needless) point.
reflecting the perfect couple, they don't contrast, they combine... like flour and water, not water and oil. (analogised crudely but hey, if you want me to continue i will)...
kanye and alexis...... think about it..... aesthetic perfection is'nt a jewel that they posess solely, afterall, she styled him, provided him with swagga-som appeal... and whalla! now he works it on his own!...
its not hard, but its worth it.
now this is cool, the fact that i heard about it today, leads me to question what i've been doing for the past month...
the v&a illustration awards is in full swing...book and magazine / newspaper illustration being prevalent aspects of the exhibition. as sods law prevails, i didn't get much from the v&a site, nevertheless, my presumption doubles as instinct.
ending on the the 18th of march, we've all got time time to check it out... i'm planning to go tomorrow (the security guards just love chasing my camera and i around) http://www.vam.ac.uk
i cut it all off baby... and trust me, i cut alot (or the beautiful ghanaian lady did), my hair was getting too damn long and i needed a new look ;)
as decks go... these are pretty fly, i'm feeling the artwork to a major degree
.... i mean, i bmx (double decade baby!) and boarding is pretty new to me (as a possible means of transportation that is...) but hey, my bro's a boarder, so ima keep it in the family.
http://www.teebeeland.compretty mad stuff, the intricate spray work makes me wanna see more....
working with everything from wood, shelving, canvas, attire and footwear, teebeeland aren't necessarily 're-inventing' custom / graff work, but they have an edge.... i'm love the 90's vibe and i'd like to see more work from this brand. i definitely see commercial chains developing strong interest in their approach....
messing around with my humble camera gives me so much joy... i often enter my house in fits of strangely overwhelming excitement, frantically rushing towards the mac, where seated.. inevitable hindrance comes in the form of the ever fruitless usb search......
i always find it
i connect the heart wrenchingly beautiful devices and whalla!.... visual candy.
my dad's artistic critique (he's a journalist and photographer.... so yep, always correct) does little to effect my blissful tranquility as i caste my eyes upon my days dumb yet oh so cool snaps.
god bless you unintentional shots, temperamental flashes and dodgy shutter speed.
unfortunately for me.... i know half of y'all like/love these... yes they are spongebob emblazoned jordans.... and yes you can breath in, climb off the carpet and cool down.
inappropriate in more ways than one... i'm inclined to believe that anyone that finds these 'nice', or 'cool', 'bangin', 'fresh'.... whatever, needs to 1.put down the matching yellow and white fitted ('that would look sick in the club') 2. re-evaluate their existence.
Candy coated jewels. A pre-destined legacy, or in other words, perfection... candy coated perfection. Surpassing the fragmented foundations of many so called t-shirt companies, candy coated jewels reflects the conceptual brilliance of the 'ideal graphic clothing-line'. Exuding irrepressed creativity in an intensely Japanese manner, the brand's often mono-cromatic presentation of color beckons the eye, so too does the irregular assemblance of abstract shapes and symbols. A candy coated tee is essentially an unwrapped chocolate box (hence the name i guess) meet the creators and view an exclusive taster of this seasons collection at candycoatedjewels.com
am i wrong in thinking these are sick? and not in a "lil wayne mentioned la gears in a track so i know like them even though my younger brother would rather die than walk next to me" way... nope, i like them in a nostalgic "coolest kid in (pre-)school" way. so.... no doubt they went out of style (in a major way), but, in hindsight they were merely replaced by 120pound 1995-7 nikes and bright green adidas monstrosities.... i keep hearing people saying they are gonna bring them back, drop them on road etc, but i'm yet to see this 'daring statement' showcase itself in physical form. i found these on rareairshoes.com
moving on...these guys make me wanna cry, im seriously gonna die if i see anyone wearing them, so i'm trying to work out why i just posted them up (the puma's i mean... the la gears can relax)..... i suggest y'all check this site out, its pretty basic but then it does offer a few rarities, so hey, who's complaining......
i cut it all off baby... and trust me, i cut alot (or the beautiful ghanaian lady did), my hair was getting too damn long and i needed a new look ;)
chilling at borders...
so i my bro dropped me this hat today.... wow
thanks to 
www.premierboutique.com.... i bring to you (in the corniest way possible)..... duh duh duhhhhh..... purple haze!
now, if u frequent my myspace page in an obsessive manner (i know you exist, you know who you are... and yes you scare me slightly, but thats another topic)....
Gavin Dias! theres literally nothing this guy can't do, I've known him for agessss now, but i'm constantly taken aback by his talent... an illustrator by trade, artist by profession (a statement thoroughly devoid of sense, nevertheless, totally applicable) Dias seriously compromises the artistic careers of a few people.
