Damn, just came across Chris Piascik’s stuff.

His SITE is full of all kinds of sweet illustrations that I just spent a 1/2 hour looking through. Extra bonus for the background in BMX.

Cool stuff.

Given the fact that I’m wearing Vans right now, and have done for most of my life, this post seems mandatory. I don’t know how often people think about the founders of any footwear brand, but given how influential Vans was and still is, I think this post is completely justified and respect should be given.

According to Steve Van Doren:
“He was a mechanic, a chemist, the brains behind the early shoe,” said his nephew, Steve Van Doren, one of several family members who still work for the company. “In his garage, he made all the molds for the very first soles,” including the trademark waffle design.

Into Infinity is an art and music exhibition by Dublab and Creative Commons which combines audio loops and “visual circles.” Since 2008 the exhibitions have taken place in Japan, but earlier this year they released a digital exhibition and the result is excellent. Audio loops are randomly paired with 12″ vinyl-cover sized pieces of art, and the website is a basic affair with no flash to be seen. They also make good on their cc promise as you can not only download the music and art, but a full mirror of the site if you wish.

If you are really into this project and have eight minutes to spare, check out a comprehensive, rather bizarre mini-’documentary’ by Creative Commons Japan after the jump.

This month we featured a shot of Subrosa pro rider Kyle Hart in Austin, Texas. Our boy Tristen Afre or Gutstains to his closest friends shot the photo for us. The ad also features the Subrosa Pandora bars and forks in out new Army Green coloway and was published in Ride UK, The Albion, BMX Plus!, Ride BMX, and Soul BMX mag.

We also have an alternate angle gone wrong posted up on the site.
