I absolutely love these ads. The score, colorful presentation, and simplicity make them absolutely brilliant. Mind you, putting them together is far from simple…Here are the Domino’s falling throughout a city in India.

Jenny Holzer’s most prominent creations, which are glowing text-based installations fashioned over the last 30 years on everything from billboards and building façades to rock faces and crashing waves.

A new exhibition, which opened on Saturday the 25th at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, Jenny Holzer: Protect Protect, examines the artist’s work since the 1990s across a breadth of media including futuristic LED installations, sculpture, light projections, and paintings based on declassified government documents.



THE BRIDGE

I’ve been speaking a lot on San Francisco lately, as I just went back for the first time in 6 years. I lived there for 6 years, and its one of the clear reasons why I am who I am today.

I found a documentary on an epic piece of architecture in San Fran, The Golden Gate Bridge.

The unique thing about this documentary is it’s real topic, which is suicide by jumping from The Bridge.

Its riveting, in your face, heart breaking and absolutely stunning. I’ll admit I loved it, and for anyone who’s crossed the massive piece of steel, I think you would too. If you havent had the chance to visit SF, this may bring you closer to the real city, and it shows a locals perspective, in a way. It also brings a new light to suicide, and why the bridge brings over 20 people a year there to jump. You’ll even hear from a bridge survivor who changed his mind as soon as he jumped…

The Bridge can be purchased through their site, highlighted above, or you can watch the 94 minute film HERE, via Google Video.

*Update – See the trailer below.

Icooly for Ipod Touch

Filed under: Inspiration

I just grabbed an Ipod touch ( which is amazing) and I have been researching for stands, etc for it. Im sure a lot of iphone users are doing the same thing. The best one ive found is the Icooly…

It makes the touch match an Imac, which I also own.From what I hear, the Touch is a bit smaller than the Iphone, so be weary when buying any casing or stands for either.

A lot of Obama artwork has surfaced over the past few months, but there a re a few that have opened my eyes. Of course Shepard Fairey’s has a certain significance to it, but also Robert Indiana’s HOPE poster holds a lot of interest. Robert Indiana is the artist that designed the LOVE PARK logo/sculpture.

Mike Giant @ White Walls San Francisco.

My wife and I flew out to San Francisco this past weekend to see friends and fam, and to chill with Mike and see his super fly show at White Walls Gallery.

As you can see it was RAMMED.

Mike was in full force, having fun and looking supafly

Jo was super happy as well, here she is kicking it with the infamous MEGA

Mike set up a photo booth to keep busy and his mind focused.

The pieces were the illest Ive seen yet. With over 60 pieces, and 50 prints for sale that night, he blew through nearly all of them before we left. It’ll sell out by Nov 1st.

For those that don’t know, Mike uses ink and Sharpie markers on paper to create his pieces. He has the steadiest hand I’ve ever seen.

My boy Satva Leung was there rocking a tee I did for Adrift Skate Shop.. Yeee!

The next day we met mike at a park on haight, and chilled before we had to come back to Canada. He was riding a sweet Trek.

It seems like I never left SF. My favorite people are still there, my favorite places to chill are there, and especially my favorite spots to eat are there. Maybe in the future i’ll be back to settle…
