THIS IS A MUST SEE! | Salomon "Wave Skiing"

"A year in the making, Mike Douglas and Cody Townsend fulfill a dream of towing into big waves on skis in Hawaii. After 4 weeks, 5 broken skis, and 1 big scare, they proved that it is, in fact, possible." Its pretty amazing to think of what they could do out there after a bunch of practice. I'm just glad that you can't launch jet-skii's out where I live, that means no kooks wave skiing at my local spot anytime soon. Good thing too, its really hard to run from a pack of angry locals when you are wearing ski boots!

Cops Must Just Love | Graffiti Videos

I really love the most recent use of technology to document the daily ebb and flow of street art. My favorite part is that it almost always captures something illegal, whether in video or a photo, and shares it with the masses, whether they be consumers or cops. Brings a whole new meaning to getting up.

Banksy vs. Robbo | Round 2

So we all know that the ever-infamous Banksy has graced London's Regent Canal's with 4 new pieces of Banskydom. But the real story was what he covered up in the process. Street artists loved the Banksy reworking of the 25 year old ROBBO piece. Graff writer's, however, did not. They got all up in arms because some fossil of a graffiti piece was covered up, not by another piece (which might be considered acceptable), but by a paste-up (a huge "no no"). Duh duh duhhhh!

Well, feeding off the new life that Banksy brought to the piece, which was long dead and forgotten, ROBBO went back to "his" spot and repainted it. Instead of totally covering up the piece, in true graffiti writer style, ROBBO chose to rework the piece to better suit him. So he gives us "King Robbo" done in archaic lettering with little finesse, it makes you wonder what ROBBO has been doing in those 25 years since he painted this last piece. Definitely not working on his technique, because technically this thing is a piece of shit. Way to cover up the masterful techniques used to make the Banksy piece art, and introduce some masking tape and shitty letter work in its place. I don't understand the bad vibes between street artists and writer's, its just old stereotypes that are continuing to be propagated today. We are all just mere vandals, cant we get along?

MUST SEE | The Ghost Village Project

"The Ghostvillage Project was created over 3 days on the west coast of Scotland. 6 artists - Timid, Remi/Rough, System, Stormie Mills, Juice 126, Derm - were given free reign to paint in an abandoned 1970s village. Working together on huge collaborative walls and individually in hidden nooks and crannies all over the site the artists realised long held dreams and were inspired by the bleakness and remoteness of the site. Drawing on the history of the village the artists' stated intent on completion of the project was to populate the ghostvillage with the art and characters that it deserved." -Agents of Change

Oil Money Whips | Gemballa x Ferrari MIG-U1

To the informed car enthusiats this collaboration may seem rather odd. The German made, American-run Porsche tuning powerhouse, Gemballa has made a new super "ridiculous" car. And no, its not a Porsche. The Ferrari MIG-U1 is a Middle East auto show exclusive, and we can see why. This car is aimed at the super-rich Oil benefactors, that flaunt there money, with gold Bentley's and diamond lieu's. No info has been released to date, I guess because we have no need to know, we cannot afford one, even in our wildest dreams, we wouldn't waste that much money on a car. Oh, wait yes we would, in a heartbeat. See more after the doors swing open...

Sound | Gibson Jimmy Page 'Number Two' Les Paul

The Les Paul Standard that still remains the industry standard is hard to come by, however, the Gibson Custom Shop has announced the Jimmy Page “Number Two” Les Paul for those who significantly love the impacting sound of electric music. The faded, weathered look, as it is with every Les Paul Standard, the Jimmy Page “Number Two” Les Paul has a beautiful sunburst finish with a red element that fades to a dusky amber-brown, along with a clear serial number dating it to 1959. Produced in a limited edition of only 325, with two levels of aging: the first 25 instruments are to be aged by vintage-reproduction master Tom Murphy then inspected, played and hand signed and numbered by Jimmy Page personally. An additional 100 guitars will be given the extensive aging treatment, and 200 will be finished to Gibson’s VOS specs. Apart from being the guitar of choice for rock stars, this musical instrument having the vintage feel with more oomph will stay with the generations to come. (via)

Feelin' It | TrustoCorp hits LA

TrustoCorp hits Los Angeles with a series of seven street signs. They literally just beat me to this exact idea, however I am glad to see their first-class execution, and well-thought out messages. They are even hand painted! TrustoCorp plans on hitting several other major US cities across the west coast and beyond. If you are in LA, keep your eyes peeled for one of these gems. Nicked from AM.

Shepard Fairey Original | For Steven Colbert

This thing is pretty friggin' awesome. It's for the king of sarcastic political banter, Mr. Steven Colbert. This Shepard original is done in his textbook style, letting us all know just who we should 'Obey'. I wish I was a big enough "_____" to get my own Shep piece made. I think that's how I'll know I've officially arrived, (where exactly, I'm not sure) when I have one of these with me in it.

One of my favorite artists | Boxi on the Streets

Ever since Seth, from The Carmichael Gallery introduced me to artist, Boxi, and his amazing piece entitled, 'The Embrace', I've been hooked on his work. This street art piece is, in no way new, but I had to share it again, whether you like it or not. It's hard to find a lot of his pieces online, and I applaud him for his digital annonimty.

On a side note, this whole post was composed with my iPhone. This thing does everything!
