Closed for Repackaging

Packaging light is no easy task. But then again, neither are most things worth pursuing. Which is why I've decided to take the necessary time to re-wrap your gift as neatly as possible. And by neat, I don't mean Catholic school all-shirts-must-be-tucked-in neat. I mean forks-on-the-left spoons-on-the-right BECAUSE I SAID SO neat. I'm focused on doing things the right way (read "my" way) and right now, that means it's time for renovations.

For all of us intent on evolving, there comes a point where the present form of progress is no longer efficient... gotta re-up. I'm sure you've noticed the lack of posting recently. Well, get used to it for now. Silence is golden. It's also rather frightening when you're not on the inside. But just know that it's not in vain. Work is in progress, and when it's time... you'll understand exactly why.

For now though, just sit back and learn to navigate through the darkness until I flip the switch again.

Trust that the courier font is not a mistake...

A Billi?

True visionaries are few and far between, but this man has taken an already record breaking film to an entirely new level. I applaud the work and ingenuity it takes to put together a project like this. Most would take this profession for granted or approach it half-heartedly, but yet again we have proof that if it's worth doing, it's worth doing well... clap for him.

'09 was cool and all but...

If you are reading this, congrats! You made it another year. Now allow the sounds of Jigga and Swizz to usher in a new era and enlighten all the robots as to what they should and shouldn't be doing/wearing this decade. As for the rest of you, just enjoy the art and hopefully it will inspire you to give even less of a f*** about public opinion as you did in 2009.

House in Pozuelo de Alarcón

I really like the lines on this house. It's designed by A-cero Architects and is located in Pozuelo de Alarcón, Madrid. Hit the jump for more photos & info.

House in Pozuelo de Alarcón by A-cero Architects

The balance on which rest the three principles defining this construction, beauty, firmness and utility give us the key to confront its forcefulness, which emerges as a great sculptural work. It is a plastic reality: the singularity of the house defines a researching purpose that places value on aesthetic originality and artistic excellence. It stands out for its geometric purity, material sophistication and compositional elegance. The travertine marble shell is understood as a refuge and protection of identity. The purity of shapes creates a complex that is consistent with a structure formed only by concrete walls with an absence of intermediate pillars. It stands on a plot situated on a longitudinal north-south axis that brings sunlight into all the rooms. The slope of the land allows all the storeys to have an issue to the outside. The entire architecture appears framed within an exceptional environment: a garden of generous dimensions continues the harmonious lines of the construction, like a soft rug dotted with abundant planters and flowerbeds. A large steel beam marks the entrance via a colossal door. Inside, the window concept disappears and turns into openings. The size is suitable, proportioned and appropriate, thus conferring importance to the open spaces, the soft colours and the clean lines of the finishes. Beauty is localised in essential and simple minutiae and finds emotion in the detail, becoming the axis on which its logic turns and the point of support for its aesthetic projection. The visual experience of brightness and colour impregnates the architecture with its placid and unanimous sensibility. There is an evident link between the rooms and their outward continuity, with routes marked by the absence of doors, which are replaced by panels. Noteworthy in this line is the 17-metre window that shifts inwards, opening up the living room to the garden via one of the laterals. The rooms are comfortable, ample, with slight decorations and everything reduced to essentials, through volumes situated on two axes and two floors with a basement housing the garage in a startling design, the gym, a cellar, the music room and the indoor swimming pool. Revealing great skill in the layout, we find on the ground floor a large cylinder in marble, a material present in all the rooms on this floor, which organises what develops around it: the living rooms, dining rooms and service zone joined via a staircase with a magnificent red backdrop from which hangs a work of art in grand display and with the upper floor housing the bedrooms, the bathrooms finished in ash wood and the library, arranged as a great box of books, around a glass walkway overlooking the main drawing room.

Lo Light 12: I Miss The 90's

That's it, another decade in the books. And with everyone doing their 'Best of the 2000's' lists, I figure we might need to go back a little further. Gotta know where you came from to know where you're going. So here's to the days of recording songs to a cassette tape off the radio, real R&B, and extra long jean shorts (what's that? people still wear those?.... :-/). If you were born anytime during the 80's, this is the decade that raised you. So vibe to these songs and hopefully they bring back good memories.

Bape has been Ambushed!

Fresh collab. Wasn't all the way sold on some of the "Pow" pieces, but sub in the Bape head and it goes. I'm sure will see Big Sean in this pretty soon. More pics and info after the jump.

Extroverts Verbal and Yoon’s label Ambush have joined forces with a Bathing Ape to produce this jacket, shoes and complementary accessories. Performing as Dr. Octagon, Kool Keith created the half-shark-half-alligator-man image and the Japanese designers have realised it. As with previous Bape jackets, this one is split in half – one half takes familiar shark form with the other taking a similarly styled (and fully ‘ambushed’) alligator, which is complete with an Ambush eye and scales over the body. Alongside the jacket, are these Baby Milo rings and a Bape head necklace; both have also been mutated, with Milo’s head being cut to reveal his brain, and with the Bape head being melted. The latter is available in a range of both single and two-tone colourways. As you can see, further accessories along the same theme have also been created, as has this new partially-woven shoe. Again available in prominent colourways, the lace up shoe appears clean, with only a small Bapesta logo on the side-heel. The Kaiju (Japanese for ‘strange beast) mini collection will available Spring 2010.
