Feelin' It | The Art of Rhys Owens

Here are some works of Welsh artist and designer Rhys Owens. He grew up in the decade of Rubik's Cubes, Thundercats, and the ZX Spectrum, and nurtured his creative talents by decorating the faces of his sister's dolls with a ballpoint pen.

In later life, he began experimenting with photography, illustration, and digital 3D to create his own unique style. This includes the creation of a number of slightly surreal characters that currently inhabit the Hidden Moves universe. See more of his work after the trip...

Poker Dining Table | Lee J. Rowland

I know I personally have two friends who are jizzing their pants to this one, shout out to Bigga and Dro! (via)

Visual Q&A with Steve ESPO Powers

ESPO as he is widely known as, is arguably one of the wittiest artists, period. Everything from the guy's twitter jokes down to his street work is either satirical, thought provoking and/or just down-right funny. Here is an ESPO style Q&A, which is definitely true to form.

Why Not? | Carbon Fiber Chopsticks

This unnecessary but fresh set comes with a pair of real carbon fiber chopsticks and a matching carbon fiber rest. The carbon fiber is literally cut from a solid block of rare and thick high-temp aerospace carbon fiber. The extremely high-quality carbon fiber has the capability to be heated over 400 degrees, which allows for a non-toxic food-safe and dishwasher-safe coating to be applied. In fact, this same carbon fiber material costs the aerospace company something like $60,000 for a 12'x40' piece to make. You can snag these crafty sticks for $149.95. (via)

MUST SEE | Helsinki 78-82 "Cruising" Music Video

This video came to us from half-way around the world, in what they affectionately referred to as, "The Big Nowhere". Our new friends Aleksi and Anton, from Finland, just shot us an email full of great new stuff from Scandanavia. This sunny cruise through the streets of Helsinki by bike, is set perfectly to Helsinki 78-82's track 'Cruisin'. It seems style is permiating everywhere; Supreme stickers, Moustaches, Big Sunglsses, Funky Colors, Bianchi Fixies, and beer drinking debauchery. Sounds like L.A. Most definitely dont sleep on the Scadanavian culture, their is so much to explore.

SPEED | Lexus LFA Nürburgring

Lexus has finally dropped the curtain on its special-edition LFA Nürburgring. Word on the street is there's an additional 10 horsepower on tap from the beastly V10, nudging the final figure to over 562 ponies. Lexus managed to get the LFA to 62 mph in around 3.7 seconds and net a top speed of 202 mph in spite of the car's higher down force. If you want one, you better start bribing people now. The company plans on handing out just 50 examples within the standard LFA run of 500 units. (via)

Courts & Hackett | Keith Richards Skull Ring

Keith Richards' iconic skull ring has and will always be seen as a thing of rock n' roll legend, and despite the endless copies that have appeared since Keith received it as a birthday present in 1978, the original was never duplicated. Until now... The Courts & Hackett New Keith Richards Skull Ring ($TBA) is sculpted from the same human skull used for the original, made from solid 925 silver and offering delicately carved bone structure, individual teeth, and all the creepiness of its predecessor. Word on the street is that if you wear this ring you can't die. (via)

Thread x Books | Ehren Elizabeth Reed

“I started exploring bookmaking and altered books and rediscovered sewing, which I had always had an affinity for,” states artist Ehren Elizabeth Reed. Reed's use of old school thread and paper juxtaposed against a modern pixelated background is gnarly. (via)

RIPO | HISTORIC

New piece by RIPO "HISTORIC" at an old hotel near Barcelona. RIPO had this to say:

"This place was not Historic and I can’t say about the piece itself. It’s just a commentary on the act of painting and putting in time and effort at a forgotten and abandoned place, giving it a history that’s new and unique." (via)

TIME | Chanel J12 Retrograde Mysterieuse Watches

Chanel dropped the new J12 Retrograde Mysterieuse at Baselworld 2010 with the help of the team at Audemars Piguet Renaud Papi.
