it's coming together

drew and i are working hard at getting this magazine together and neither one of us is willing to let it die this time even though we are seriously struggling at finding an affordable printing solution. best of luck getting ahold of this thing, there might only be 50 issues floating around.
it's something at least.

gold

people say pictures are worth a thousand words. this photo decided to scrapped the 
997 useless words and just went with "we're fucking awesome" instead.
well said photograph.

JR



french street artist "JR" has taken things to the next level, fuck it he's taken to some level that i can't even fathom. the sheer scale of his endeavour trumps anything i've come across since i studied christo and jean-claude wrapping the reichstag in berlin. JR's "women project" focuses on the pivotal role which women have in society, with aims to highlight they're struggle, dignity, courage and perseverance in places such as kenya, liberia and rio.
go read about it, check it out and get humbled.

game of skate and game of balls

billy marks is probably the coolest guy ever. he kills skateboarding and he kills throwing ping pong balls into cups off of random shit. it's ridiculous.
(i can't figure out how to link a video... idiot)

addict


i'm addicted to magazines. there i said it. while i was in auckland i would allocate at least 1-3 hours of my lazy hanging out in ponsonby day to reading magazines in mag nation. solid mag shop possibly the best i've come across. does your mother know? in vancouver is the closest comparison i can draw. my choice fix for magazines was without a doubt monster children, aussie mag, tough to come by up here but so good. 
as far as addiction and fixes go, i think meth is cheaper, ($20 and issue for MC) but the drool coming out of your mouth will be from the the "page 33" spread they do on hot models, not from the fact your teeth rotted out.

albums


i'm into albums these days. i'm always hyped to roll to 174-0 in vic and rifle through garbageface and brando's vinyl collection and toss on a album and listen to the album in its entirety. that's just good listening. 
these albums are good. (maybe do a little self editing in itunes and ditch sufjan's jamboree of instruments falling down the stairs, sorry) 
human highway is good and chill.

let's get back to this

so i've got a few emails about this blog and it turns out a few people were actually reading it. 
so i'm taking it over now that i'm back and it will most likely be updated with crap i'm either doing or that i'm working on or that i just like for whatever reason. no rhyme or reason, check it out from time to time or not. enjoy.
