Amsterdams Blauw “The Merckx” Denim Pant
Named after Eddy Merckx, one of the world’s most talented cyclists ever, Amsterdams Blauw have created a specially constructed denim made specifically to ride in. The custom-tailored slim fit pant is made of 100% organic loom state green selvedge denim. The pockets have been reinforced with canvas taping for extra strength and the legs have been printed with special reflecting cuffs to be seen at night. Additionally the pants features a spoke wrench pocket and actual tool included with each piece. I love a garment with function.

My latest toy! FPG MAGPUL BB Gun Folding gun
My BB Gun from Luke Norris on Vimeo.
Just picked up this awesome FPG MAGPUL BB Gun Folding gun from a store in Causeway Bay called EX.I.T. It’s gas powered and folds up into a small compact case. It seemed fitting to shoot it in a dodgy little chinese joint down the road that reminded me of something you’d find in a village in China.
— Semi-/Fully Automatic Shooting Mode
— Full Metal Slide & 2inch longer Barrel assembly
— 49rd Long Magazine with Magpul Magazine Cover

Wish I was here
Since moving to Hong Kong, the thing I miss most is going for a weekend surf. The salt water and the feeling of cleansing the soul. I’m currently doing some research on where I go duck away for a weekend to get some waves. Sigh

Rainy days = Productive days
I’ve grown to love rainy days in Hong Kong. I’m more productive in the office, the city gets a wash and it makes the streets lined with neon lights a little brighter.

A fantastic guide for next time you’re in New York to see another side to the city.

Tuhinternational. office in Australia
Since branching to Hong Kong. You soon realise when space is measured by square foot not square metre. Space is a luxury. Lucky for my business, as long as I have a laptop and WiFi I can pretty much work from anywhere.

The Dark Knight Rises Film Trailer
Batman The Dark Knight Rises from anjes on Vimeo.
A bit short for my liking, but I guess that’s why they call it a teaser. Don’t get too excited just yet. It’s not due to launch until July 20, 2012!

Travel Essentials by HYPEBEAST
Frank Liew
Jarrett Reynolds
Kevin Poon
Mike West
Taj Reid
We all have our ‘must haves’ when it comes to travelling. For me I seem to travel with more and more I.T. equipment. What started off as just a mobile phone is now an iPhone and a Blackberry, a 15 inch or 17″ MacBook Pro, my iPad, chargers, Leica ‘Safari Edition’ camera, Burton travel hoodie, tracksuit pants, Monocle notepad, magazines, two packs of cigarettes, a spare lighter, business cards, sunglasses, lip balm, passport case and Beats Headphones. All this goes into my LV carry-on wheelie.
Here’s some highlight shots from the interview. Including Taj Reid, Mike West, Kevin Poon, Jarrett Reynolds and Frank Liew.

Jay-Z “Decoded” campaign wins Integrated Grand Prix and Titanium at Cannes
Article by: Fast Company
New York agency Droga5 continued its hot streak at the Cannes International Festival of Creativity with big wins for its Bing/Jay-Z “Decoded” campaign in the key Titanium/Integrated Lions category. The campaign won the Integrated Grand Prix and nabbed a Titanium Lion, winning over a jury that was “looking for the bravest idea.”
The Titanium Lion was launched in 2003 to recognize emerging forms of brand work that wouldn’t neatly fit into the existing award categories; the Integrated Lion was added in 2005, though the definition of what falls under each title has been fluid.
Jury chair Bob Scarpelli, the chairman of DDB Worldwide, acknowledged that the definition of an integrated campaign has shifted and that today, “the best ideas are integrated into culture.” Scarpelli called the campaign, which has also picked up Grand Prix in the Outdoor and Film Craft categories, “bold, innovative, interactive, immersive. It’s creating media.” There was no Titanium Grand Prix awarded.

Star Wars: The Blueprints Book
Star Wars: The Blueprints brings together, for the first time, the original blueprints created for the filming of the Star Wars Saga. Drawn from deep within the Lucasfilm Archives and combined with exhaustive and insightful commentary from best-selling author J. W. Rinzler, the collection maps in precise, vivid, and intricate detail the very genesis of the most enduring and beloved story ever to appear onscreen.
“Most importantly, Blueprints shows how in bringing this extraordinary epic to life, the world of special effects as we know it was born. For the first time, here you will see the initial concepts behind such iconic Star Wars scenes as the Rebel blockade runner hallways, the bridge of General Grievous’s flagship, the interior of the fastest “hunk of junk” in the Galaxy, and Jabba the Hutt’s palace. Never before seen craftsmanship and artistry is evident whether floating on the Death Star, escaping on a speeder bike, or exploring the Tatooine Homestead.” Star Wars: The Blueprints is a limited edition, hand-numbered run of 5,000 copies.
