Filmmaker Jake Davis brings us his latest Test Shot featuring model Adrianne Ho. Jake focuses closely on a previously released Supreme Oxblood Varsity Jacket, with Soho as his backdrop. I really enjoy what Jake does with the film and visuals he seems to capture the subject plus so much more.

Local Rock House – New Zealand
Local Rock House of New Zealand is aptly named, given that much of its material was sourced from local stone. It rises prominently above a pohutukawa canopy that stretches across a white, sandy beach. Continuing on the theme of locality, the home is designed to merge with the environment, where the stone matches the grounds near the beach and the private sections above mimic the nature of the trees around them. In the center of the home, a grotto-style courtyard features a swimming pool, a dining area and an outdoor fireplace, perfect for entertaining guests or private nights for the family that lives within. The lookout bedrooms above are screened with a louvred design that provides a sweeping view of the ocean beyond but limited view from outside in. It is a home of matchless luxury and beauty in its locality, one that is built upon the very rocks of the plot on which it stands. This design by Pattersons Associates is amongst the best of this young decade.

HUF + HAZE – Capsule Collection Lookbook By Brian Kelley
Known for his broad brush strokes of paint on canvas, it was more than fitting for photographer Brian Kelley to document the creative process, in black and white, of graffiti artist HAZE at work in his studio. Currently available for purchase thorough HUF‘s online store, the capsule collection by both Eric Haze and Keith Hufnagel reminisced the simple designs of old. Consists of graphic tees, snap-back caps, and the ubiquitous skate deck, all donned with the word “HUF” in various styles by HAZE. Some are familiar, others not so much, but all are glimpses of an artist’s progression from the seedy streets to the gallery scenes.

Brooklyn Machine Works Tokyo
The KDU has teamed with legendary Bike builder, Brooklyn Machine Works to progress their 15 year old brand.
Solid Grey
This is a $165 Solid Grey backpack. Made out of single piece of rigid polyprene (plastic) and would look even better painted like a ninja turtle shell.
“These unique bags feature a folding hardshell design, EPDM foam lining and straps for keeping your tablet or laptop safe and secure, two interior compartments for keeping small items handy, a built-in document clip — so your papers don’t end up smashed at the bottom of the bag — and a flexible fit, which means your back will like it just as much as your eyes do.”

Finder
According to the laws of the universe written at the time of the Big Bang, things are supposed to go AWOL for absolutely no reason while we desperately try to find them. Keys, tv remote and pens are the worst offenders that love to go invisible at just the time they would be needed.
The concept is basically a two part system with a main terminal and stickers with embedded RFID locators. The stickers can be configured as labels, and when you need to find something, all that needs to be done is to start off the main terminal, and it will automatically look for the object required.
