I’ve finally made the move from Seattle to Vancouver. I’ve been working on a work visa for a while now, but after a lot of hassle and waiting, everything is legit. I brought all my shit up from Seattle on Sunday and have just been settling in over the past few days. I’m going to be working at MacNeil full-time as the art director and picking up any loose ends that I can. I was lucky enough to have an amazing girlfriend who let me move myself and all my crap into her apartment, so that photo you are looking at is taken out of my office at our apartment downtown. I’m so psyched on the move and now that I only have one full time job instead of two, look out for more time dedicated to Defgrip.
SEVEN OCULAR (aka Chris Cotsonas (Odyssey) and Link Cornelius), will be opening for Grammy Award Winner, and Kanye West collaborator Rhymefest at The Knitting Factory in Hollywood, CA on November 9th. Doors open at 8 pm.
Exclusive tickets with a special reduced price are available on E-bay by clicking HERE. The tickets can be mailed to you directly or reserved at The Knitting Factory’s will-call window.

It’s no secret that we are into footwear around here, so when VINNIE SAMMON mentioned that he had a sneaker piece on Russ Bengtson for the Grip, i was all for it.
If you are not familiar with Russ, he is a pretty interesting dude. He is a contributing editor for SLAM magazine, has a monthly piece in MASS APPEAL magazine, can be seen in the sneaker/hip hop documentary JUST FOR KICKS, but also frequents/moderates BMXBOARD as “Noteddieroman”.
He lives and rides in Manhattan New York, and this is his apartment.
Check this tv advert for Sony’s Bravia tv’s. It was directed by Jonathan Glazer (who did the UNKLE video i posted a while back), and it feature’s exploding paint.
The site has info about the shoot and the clean up. Sound’s like quite a task, but i guess that’s what need’s to be done to do something special.
As with Harrison’s Apple post, i’m psyched companies are taking the initiative to dedicate space on their site’s to other aspects of marketing, rather than just giving you specs on their products.
The Come Up has been blogging like crazy lately. Rather than doing my own research, I’ll just poach a link off their site for a new Mutiny clip. Joe Simon put this together… It’s nice to see some HD. I can’t wait to see some more footage.
