If you ride bikes and have never dabbled in the tranquil LA Tunnels at night, than Nike has you covered. They are throwing a jam this weekend, which should be interesting. From Nike: The event is Sat July 9th 7-10pm. Confirmed athletes are Dennis Enarson, Garrett Reynolds, Nigel Sylvester and Chad Kerley. This will be [...]
I almost feel obligated to write about this since I’ve seen it a bunch on other sites, through my Tumblr and Flickr. I guess by doing so, I’m just adding to the hype, but whatever. I like Banksy’s stuff and make no bones about it. I also love when the haters come out on him. [...]
Revok is one of LA’s finest graffiti artists, definitely one of my favorites. The above photo was just posted on his site and it combines a new billboard, a sunset, traffic, the ocean and palm trees. Doesn’t get more LA. I also just watched a new video of Revok speaking on a bunch of various [...]
The Bicycle Film Festival is swinging through LA this week, and now all you West Coasters have the chance to peep the Mat Hoffman documentary as well as the Joyride art show which Edwin De La Rosa, Brian Barnhart and some guy named Spike Jonze have stuff in. Click below for another flyer and go [...]
Any of you LA locals or visitors are probably familiar with the Silverlake Walker. You were guaranteed to see him any time you visited Silverlake. Sometimes I’d be taking someone new through the neighborhood, and I’d be telling them all about this guy, and then all of a sudden he would appear and walk right [...]
I’ve been stoked on all The Bank stuff so far. Click HERE to check out a new edit with Pat Wang.
Recently, a new website out of the Los Angeles area called THE BANK dropped. In addition to clothing, the site is focusing on original material with a bunch of people helping out. You can think of it as sort like a window into the Los Angeles scene (but not limited to). The site may not [...]
The Bank Los Angeles site just dropped today. The Bank looks to be an LA based (but not limited to) site involving feature short films, lifestyle as well as their own clothing line. They have a Jesse Whaley feature up now which you can watch HERE too. This all looks really good and promising. I’m [...]
Even though Jay Leno is almost the exact opposite of funny, he’s got great taste in cars and a true appreciation for their finer points. Here he navigates us through one of the many hidden racetracks in the hills of Los Angeles from behind the wheel of a Mercedes SLS AMG (spawned by the original [...]
Last week I was in L.A. working on some projects with Chad Moore and during our down time we got to chill with Nuno and Mike Ardelean. It’s always rad when a bunch of us from Defgrip get to meet up and we made the best of our time together by riding some chill spots [...]
Photographer Huy Doan sent through a bunch of options for this @Random, so I’m running with a few of them at once this time. Huy has shot professionally with some amazing people, so be sure to browse his SITE. Enjoy!
The M.T.A “river” tag in Los Angeles is being buffed. This thing is unreal in person… Anyway, I’m not going to sit here and champion graffiti in this case and I’m sure the state has it’s reasons for worrying about the L.A. “river”, but one would think that they could use the 3.7 million dollars [...]
I’m gonna keep on the Julius Shulman thing because a) he was a badass and b) KCRW in Los Angeles just did a spectacular radio tribute to him featuring interviews with his high profile friends as well as Julius himself. I learned a few new and surprising things about The Man. Listen here.
I’m excited for this documentary on John Lautner! The trailer got me pumped because you can see glimpses of some of my favorite Lautner houses: James Goldstein’s house (which you will definitely recall from the Jackie Treehorn scene in The Big Lebowski, as well as a Charlie’s Angels movie), Chemosphere (also in a Charlie’s Angels [...]
Yesterday evening I had the pleasure of attending a chill event at the Tesla showroom in West LA. Tesla basically hosted a private presentation of their roadster for the Porsche club that Jim is a member of, so we were able to check out the cars in full detail, learn more about them, and even [...]
This looks like a quick driving shot, and it’s not as crazy as some others, but anything this good on a billboard is nuts. Click below to view the whole thing. Courtesy of KiiD G@B3.
I like old things. Julius Schulman is 99 years old, the Case Study #22 house he made so famous is 49 years old, and this article is 2 years old. Google Image Julius Schulman for a quick look at the work of the man who so stylishly publicized Los Angeles mid century modernism.
Click below to check out this fresh (painted this weekend) new billboard by Augor and Pharoe. Photo is courtesy of KiiD G@B3. Check out more photos on his Flickr page HERE.
I know people hate on Neck Face, but I’m cool with his stuff. I spotted this is L.A. tonight, and it looks to be a commissioned piece. It definitely stands out. Click HERE to see it bigger.
Augor, one of my favorite L.A. based graffiti artists/illustrator, has a brand new site up. Check out some of his stuff HERE.
There is another “Lightning Bolts” art show coming up soon in LA, with some new BMX dudes involved. One such person is Taj Mihelich, who posted a sneak peek of his awesome number plate on his Ride blog.
