THE RAID. Trailer

Deep in the heart of Jakarta’s slums lies an impenetrable safe house for the world’s most dangerous killers and gangsters. Until now, the run-down apartment block has been considered untouchable to even the bravest of police. Cloaked under the cover of pre-dawn darkness and silence, an elite swat team is tasked with raiding the safe house in order to take down the notorious drug lord that runs it. But when a chance encounter with a spotter blows their cover and news of their assault reaches the drug lord, the building’s lights are cut and all the exits blocked. Stranded on the sixth floor with no way out, the unit must fight their way through the city’s worst to survive their mission. Starring Indonesian martial arts sensation Iko Uwais.

Cristina Penescu Drawings

Her family relocated to California when Cristina was a year old. Since early childhood, her passion for art and nature was very apparent. As a child she loved to collect books about animals and spend her time outside in nature. Cristina has experimented with a variety of mediums and styles and recently has made the transition to realistic wildlife art, which she feels has always been her true calling in life. She enjoys painting a wide variety of wildlife subjects, however wild canids, especially wolves, hold a special place in her heart and have been a recurring theme in her art since childhood.

T-world 7: New York tee-ser

New Format. New Direction. New York. For the seventh issue, the only T-shirt journal in existence – known as T-world – travels to the Empire State. Milton Glaser’s tourist campaign logo (I love NY) turned souvenir T-shirt graphic sums up the feelings T-world has for the most ambitious city of them all. The city has been responsible for the birth of hip-hop, the rise of graffiti as an art form, and famous artists like Andy Warhol. In fact, it was Warhol himself who inspired the idea that a single, ordinary product like a simple T-shirt (he used a Campbell’s Soup can) could generate the topic of art and conversation. 200 pages. Hardcover edition.

Mos Def to change alias from Mos Def to Yasiin in 2012

Mos Def is one of the coolest names around. So I was a bit disappointed to hear he’s changing his name. Look forward to seeing what direction Yasiin will take on his creative career.

Fantastic Man Magazine: Mr. Raf Simons

The new, 14th issue of FANTASTIC MAN features the phenomenal fashion designer Mr. RAF SIMONS on the cover. Photographed at his home in Antwerp, RAF is seen wearing select pieces by RAF SIMONS and JIL SANDER – both brands he designs for. Other interesting men profiled in this issue include: the fabulous magician Mr. DAVID COPPERFIELD, the interior-decorator extraordinaire Mr. RICKY CLIFTON and the hailed London-based chef Mr. YOTAM OTTOLENGHI. Furthermore, FANTASTIC MAN explores new grounds in CHINA through a 37-page fashion reportage inspired by the stylistic characteristics of the men of Beijing. The remainder of the 268-page issue is full of absorbing stories, photographs of some gloriously useless PAPERWEIGHTS, style investigations, tips and tricks for the upcoming Autumn and Winter seasons, and a delightful new format in which we have conducted conversations with KIM JONES, DIRK SCHÖNBERGER and JOHNNY MARR, the guitarist of THE SMITHS. This new section is aptly titled ‘THE CONVERSATIONS’.

Honda Civic Type R MUGEN 2.2: Even More MUGEN Power

The Civic Type-R was one of my favourite cars growing up. One because the Civic was my first car and two because the Type-R models from Honda are still one of the best engineered cars in their class. NOW they’ve teamed up with Mugen Power I can just imagine how great this car would be to drive.

An output of 260 horsepower allows the new  Civic Type R  2.2 to be a true “rice rocket”. With MUGEN Euro leading the charge, a typical Honda Civic Type R had its engine upgraded with 30% more power and torque. Along with the increased horsepower, torque is now 240Nm at 6,000 RPM. With motorsport standard suspension, brakes, and an updated body kit to reduce drag, the Honda Civic Type R MUGEN 2.2 might just be the fastest road legal Honda Civic thus far. Plans for production are still in the works.

Attack of La Niña Teaser

Attack of La Niña Teaser from Shelby Meinzer on Vimeo.

The production quality of ski and snowboarding movies is just getting better and better. I’m a die-hard snowboarded but I get just as pumped watching these kind of ski films and to be able to appreciate the work that goes into them is amazing. Kudos!

Awesome track too! Download it here.

MSP’s latest triumph, “Attack of La Niña”, chronicles the deepest North American winter in recent history. This new film follows in the footsteps of “The Way I See It”, MSP’s 2010 release and the most decorated ski movie of all time. “Attack of La Niña” showcases the talents of today’s best skiers in a journey through the snowiest winter of their lives. This action-packed film — captured using the most state of the art camera equipment available — demonstrates the limit of what is possible in modern freeskiing. Featuring super steep descents, unbelievably deep powder, and giant airs, “Attack of La Niña” will transport you to Colorado, Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, California, and many other world-class destinations. 

“Attack of La Niña” features the tremendous skiing brilliance of: Mark Abma, Sean Pettit, Eric Hjorleifson, Rory Bushfield, Henrik Windstedt, Cody Townsend, Jacob Wester, Ingrid Backstrom, Bobby Brown, Gus Kenworthy, Richard Permin, Colby West, James Heim, Callum Pettit, Alex Schlopy, Russ Henshaw, and Torin Yater-Wallace.

Nike: “It’s About Time”

If all the signs are correct. This next launch from Nike could be one of the most highly demanded products on the market for sneaker heads and collectors worldwide. Read the lead up story from FreshnessMag below and if the clues and these pictures aren’t enough of a hint of what’s to come. I’m disappointed in your cultural knowledge…. So just watch the following video post to see what all the hype’s about.

FreshnessMag – There were no indicators, no hints, even our Nike hosts answered our inquisitions with smiles and simple responses, “You’ll see”… Some hours later and still woozy from jet lags, we arrived in Los Angeles for a “secret event”. But not just any event, one that will include Nike Vice President of Design and Innovation, Tinker Hatfield, at its Keynote address. Yet, everyone hushed up at our inquests at L.A. too. Things became somewhat obvious a few minutes ago when we entered our hotel rooms. In each accommodation, a tricked out amenity package with a sleek aluminum shade tagged with “It’s About Time” at the ear piece. Along side it, a Apple iShuffle with message from Dr. Emmett “Doc” Brown saying “If my calculation are correct, for the next 24hrs you are gonna see serious stuff!” Things are becoming clearer now…
