30' x 8' Stencil Mural | Logan Hicks' "Sailor"
Brooklyn stencil artist extraordinaire Logan Hicks completed his largest stencil, a massive 30' x 8' image of his son, Sailor, playing with a train set. The piece is made with 5 layers and 150 stencil plates. Curated by Brooklyn Street Art for Espeis Outside Gallery. Says Hicks about his motivation to do this mural about his son,
"The funny thing about time is that you dont realize how fast it is passing until you have a kid to remind you. Each day my son grows, and although I love watching him sprout up, it reminds me of how quickly time is passing."See more of the nearly two-day process after the jump.

FRESHNESS | The Escher Coffee Table
British designer Toby Howes had this to say about his Escher Coffee Table. "As the name suggests, the design was inspired by one of Escher’s bird & fish tessellation sketches & proved every bit as difficult as it looks to perfect all the angles! I wanted to create a modern design piece that combined my usual simplicity of style with a real edge & this is the result. I’m a strong believer in William Morris’s design philosophy “Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful” & I hope the Escher table fits the bill on both counts."

Overunder / NEVS | Pelican Point
Overunder/NEVS had this to say about himself and his work, "I started writing 'Nevada' back when I lived in Reno and shortened it to NEVS when I got to NY. Shortly after I tried to drop the traditional name graffiti and focus solely on a simple one-liner paper bird. Since moving back to the west coast I've been experimenting with all sorts of new materials and moving away from the paper bird icon."
"A few weeks ago I left the house with a hammer to see how that would affect my work. I ended up in some place called Pelican Point where there is a ton of collapsed and discarded wood. I took out my hammer, salvaged some nails, and repurposed the wood to spell NEVS." (via)

HARD | Goyard Trunk for The Black Sense Market
This DOPE trunk was made possible by the combo of French leather master Goyard and The Black Sense Market initiative by Sense Magazine from Japan. They worked with Goyard on a small trunk, which comes in a black colorway with black leather piping and numerous nice print details. A release date or production number of the trunk is not available so you probably won't be able to get one... Regardless, it's a pretty cool piece! (via)

New Face of Versace | Georgia May Jagger
Things are certainly going well for Mick Jagger's model daughter Georgia May Jagger. Tho, with a Rolling Stone for a dad and Jerry Hall for a mom what else would one expect for the 17-year-old stunner? Georgia has made the cover of British Vogue and been named the new face of Versace. Jagger has just been photographed for the ad campaign by Mario Testino. "She's smart, beautiful, full of energy and has a strong personality [with] that natural high star quality. I adore her," Donatella Versace told WWD. "She's perfect for this collection - a real Versace girl." Needless to say we'll be seeing a lot of this chick. (via)
ROCK OUT | Wishbone Rocking Chair by Toby Howes
Toby had this to say about his project, "I like to use different materials when designing new pieces, to give me an alternate view on shapes & textures, & this one started life as a couple of pipecleaners! It’s all about the lines &, from the side, you can see every curve mirrors the others to give an unusual silhouette for a rocking chair. Originally, it was constructed completely out of maple but, by adding the walnut into the supporting curves, the two-tone now draws the eye through the chair’s lines. (via)
