In a very clear-cut case of straight-up jacking of a design/concept, the T.I.T.S. blog has taken to putting this out there on blast for all to see...and seeing as I just think it's all sorts of fucked up that this did indeed happen, I thought I'd post up about it to spread the word.
Electro funk lovers Chromeo release the official video for their energizing single “Don’t Turn The Lights On”. Contrary to initial expectation the Canadian chose a library over a dancefloor as the setting for this entertaining visual. Also expect lots of bizarre characters with torned eyeballs to appear on this one. The song is taken from their forthcoming third LP Business Casual.
Late last week marked the unveiling of an upcoming MEDICOM TOY release featuring Star Wars’ Darth Vader and Stussy. To compliment the mid-August release of the 400% BEARBRICK, a limited edition t-shirt will also drop alongside the toy. Featuring an iconic Vader quote, “You Don’t Know The Power Of The Dark Side!!!”, the shirt features Stussy’s signature typeface. The t-shirt will be limited to 100 pieces and release on August 14th, 2010. However it will not be for sale and given away for free as a special lottery for those who purchase the Darth Vader BEARBRICK.

Well, it seems that yesterday's comment of there not being much interesting content out on the Web was a little hasty as I ran into this little gem whilst browsing a couple of blogs today. Check this out:
With Daft Punk producing the official soundtrack to the movie, the team up between Medicom, the electro duo and TRON is of course, perfect. They worked on both Bearbricks and Kubrick sets in all sizes, ranging from 100%, 400% to 1000% and even larger sizes.
Also, here are six new tracks from Daft Punk’s upcoming score on the Tron Legacy Soundtrack. Over the past several weeks there have been some bogus tracks making their rounds, but these have been confirmed as you’ll find them on the official TRON website. Tron: Legacy will be in theaters December 17, 2010.
Just wanted to give a quick hello to any/everyone who pops in here every now and then and reassure that I haven't abandoned this little corner of web space but it just gets a little tougher from time to time to post comprehensive updates on stuff, plus there hasn't been too much interesting stuff to share with y'all. On top of that, I've been trying to improve and hold down a bunch of different things, from the other blogs I work on for friend's stuff to working on sharpening up my Photoshop skills (or lack thereof)...add in my regular 9 to 5 job stuff and still maintaining some semblance of a personal/social life, and we get an idea of where all my time goes...whew! So that's what's going on in my world...hope you feel caught up...lol
Lindsay Lohan graces the cover of Complex Magazine’s upcoming issue for August/September 2010. The often controversial actress finds herself posing in several outfits, surrounded by the artwork of Complex staple KAWS. Look for the issue at newsstands soon, with a further look into the image gallery available here.
For those of you who are fans of Wiley or of the Grime scene in general, Wiley recently announced via his official twitter that he has leaked 11 ZIP folders worth of music.
Wiley fans the country over are rejoicing following the MC's decision to spend two days leaking the contents of his hard drive. Fed up of waiting for labels to put out his seminal grime album and to prove his work rate, 11 zip files and over 200 tracks recorded over the last eight months, including demos, finished songs and his entire "The Elusive" album, which was due to be released in September, are now available for download via www.grimeforum.com. Check out the tracks and make sure you follow Wiley and keep an ear open for more news.
Man, all the stuff I keep seeing from Tron: Legacy makes me want to see it more and more [just not in 3D]. Check these out.
The images are from this month's Empire Magazine, on newsstands today and featuring all sorts of Tron: Legacy goodness. Like how David Fincher gave notes on a rough cut! Hopefully he's injecting a little more Fight Club and a little less The Social Network.
Italian designer Alberto Del Biond has created a carbon fiber toilet. Why? That's what I want to know (for real!).
It's part of his line of Nerocarbonio design, that go from Bimota bikes to basins and this toilet. He declares himself fascinated with carbon fiber because of it's lightness and depth. Somebody should tell him that carbon fiber brittles easily and may not be the best choice for this particular object.
The designer also offers a matching bidet...lol...yes, you read correctly.
Making this quick one a bit personal; last week I decided (on a lark really) that I would go ahead and get a second tattoo. Up to that point I had just the one tatt on my wrist so I knew that whatever I got, it would be substantially bigger and also hopefully the beginning of a good couple more to come. :)
Aaany-who, take a look below. Oh, and I got it done by Dan over at Tattoo Blues over in Fort Lauderdale. Those guys have an awesome shop where some friends, my girl and I have all gotten stuff done. I'm also planning on going back towards the end of the month and getting some black & gray/color work added to this one. Plus, they are the home to the great Frank Lee and Pinhead.
