Characters I’m working on with Mac Aspinall from Monocle Magazine
Say hello to three characters I’m currently working on with illustrator Marc Aspinall from Monocle Magazine. We’re still going back and forth on tweaking the look of each character, but it’s been a great test on our communicating skill, with Marc being based in the UK and I in Hong Kong. It’s a cool thought to be able to complete a project without meeting face to face. Only the use of email, facebook and SMS. I can’t say too much yet on what they’ll be used for yet, but I can’t wait to put some colour to these guys are start applying them to some mediums.

Original Fake Fall/Winter 2011 Collection
For me, the Original Fake collections over the past few years has been a little hit and miss. Some great pieces and some so-so ones. This latest collection for Fall/Winter 2001 seems to be more refined with a number of classic pieces, incorporating the KAWS artwork and the added attention to detail from designer Tomohiro Konno. Lovin’ some of the coats.

Steve McQueen’s 1953 Siata 208/S Spider for Sale
As cool as the latest Ferrari’s and Lamborghini’s are. There’s still something about classic sports cars that speaks style and taste. Steve McQueen was know for these two things. So I can imagine this car will draw a lot of potential buyers and spectators. The cherry red Siata has recently been completely refurbished, now sporting a 2.0-liter V8 producing 115 horsepower. I’m sold off the photos.

Cassie + Blank Magazine
I’m not going to pretend like this is one of the most amazing photo shoots or I’m really impressed with the clothing. The truth is, I’ve always had a crush on Cassie and I like a girl that can pull these looks off. Cassie was shot by photographer duo Gomillion and Leupold.

Bape Store New York Closing
When I first heard while in New York early last year that the Bape store was closing on Greene St in Soho. I thought it can’t be serious. I know Bape has lost a lot of it’s original street credibility over the last few years, but I still thought there was a huge following with the continued support of some of the biggest international music artists around ie. Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Lil’ Wayne just to name a few.
But I was wrong.
It’s been announced that the store will be closing at the end of the month. This may not come as a surprise to some after hearing the majority of the company was sold to the owner of I.T. for only a few million. Bape is now going through some drastic changes. I’ve always been a fan of the brand and Nigo even though I don’t wear as much as I used to. I appreciate his business model and hope this isn’t the end. Good luck!
Check out Kid Cudi’s performance at the store.

LASCO Los Angeles Shoe Company
LASCO Brand Introduction from LASCO on Vimeo.
As an avid sneaker and shoe collector. Sometimes it’s nice to see a film like this that reminds you of not only the story of the artist behind the shoe but also the craftsmanship and WHERE it’s actually made. I don’t mind paying a little extra for something with a little extra love put into it. I tip my hat to Greg Salas, founder of LASCO.
