Imminent Utopia Exhibit

It's things like this that make me wish I still was in NYC. The Imminent Utopia Exhibit by Kris Kuski opened yesterday at the Joshua Liner Gallery NYC. The theme is very dark as "the resulting works create a three dimensional visual metaphor of the human condition, where religion and morality come face to face with violence and war, and the histories of civilizations past clash with chaotic visions of a post-apocalyptic future". The collages are masters of mixed media, including: model kits, toy soldiers, plastic animals, & action figures. DOPE.

Formatmag.com x MeLo-X ... FUTURAMA mixtape

Mixtapes are fun and this one is no exception. Format Magazine and MeLo-X have put together this mixtape, titled "FUTURAMA", and it features some the next generation of M.C.'s. Artists that made the cut, but isn't limited to are: Cool Kids, Asher Roth,88 Keys, Pacific Division, Diz Gabran, Dom Kennedy, UNI... I haven't had the chance to listen to it yet (don't tell my editor), but the lineup is strong, so it shouldn't disappoint. Download it here.

XPOZ concert

After a short hiatus, I am back in the writers chair for Xpoz Magazine. Be on the lookout for new updates and issues, coming soon. Till then, hit up the concert and stunt... like its a habit (get it...?)

HUF x TRUE x UP

Fizix

Love Unites

So as you may have heard, many rallies across the country have been popping up in support of overturning the outcome of California's Pro 8... banning gay marriages. I say, if anyone want to subject themselves to the agonizing union of marriage, HAVE AT IT, gay or straight! Anyways, Shepard Fairey (the owner/artist of Obey & the dude who started the whole Obama poster craze) has cooked up this beauty in support of this weekends Prop 8 rally in Hollywood. As Fairey so eloquently puts it "Anyone who believes in equality and human dignity should be appalled that Prop. 8 passed", so if you are in the area, show some support. If not, try to get your hands on this limited poster (450 made) for $50. Did you know that in California they voted to make the chicken coops larger for more "humane" reasons, but voted against gay marriage!!?? WTF.

Education

That's right folks, these papers right here mean the Rookie is going back to school to get some higher learning! Only 7 years till I get that degree! Edumacation is a good thing. (Blurred picture via Blackberry. "Militerry" poster by Obey)

ctothejl

Much love to ctothejl.com for spotlighting HighPoint. I told yall we were on the come up and its not gonna stop. Big things to come

Dirtbag

So I think I found my Xmas gift to myself unless a special someone I know wants to buy it for me (wink wink you know who you are). It releases this SATURDAY (11/22/08) AT HUF SF however if your as lucky as I am you can order one through the store you work for LOL. I love winter clothes so this is a definite kop for me. I know this is Arizona and wont get as much use out of it but that just means it'll stay crispy for much longer.

M2 will pump you up

The homie M2 sent this pic to me today for an upcoming event were having (details coming soon). It started off as a joke but we might actually use it cause the shit is just that fucking funny.

Grindin

Im not a huge fan of the whole BBC, Ice Cream and Bape thing however I do respect it. I just cant come to grips and pull $85 out for a fitted or $90 for a t-shirt, shit just doesn't make sense to me. I am however a huge fan of the Clipse and the projects they are working on. Now Im sure Play Clothes is going to have the same touch as the previous stated brands Im just hoping its a little more affordable. Play Clothes logo is fire and so is the packaging. If you have yet to see it heres a little taste.





We will be getting Play Clothes in very very soon at HighPoint so be on the look out for that. Commonwealth is also having a launch party this Saturday the 21st with The Clipse in the building............Damn I wish I was in Virginia.

Inujirushi

I need a new bag. Been looking for something super high quality to house my upcoming MacBook in... then came Inujirushi. Made in a small city in Japan of high quality sail cloth and vegetable tanned leather. Unlike a lot of things I've seen thus far... and I want it. Anyone out there with some people in Japan that can get this for me, get at me! Till then, peep some of the hot shit here.

Fila 96

Am I wrong for liking these?! The best shoes Fila ever put out, I.M.O.... '95-'96 was a good year.

So Fast?

LOL, no the war in Iraq isn't over, but this spoof of a newspaper, taking on the form of the NY Times is wishful in its thoughts. The paper was designed and produced by The Yes Men group... a group of individuals that are spreading the word on shitty global events. This paper took 6 months to produce this 14 page periodical and a reported 1.2 million copies were handed out by volunteers in the cities of NYC and LA. Well done, now we just need the real thing. -Taken from Jeff Staples blog.
