Ghettopoly!!

Tara and her boyfriend Pete had a little Ghettopoly night. 40s, fried chicken, and little metal guns. It was awesome. Peep the photos. Thanks for the invite guys! (Most photos courtesy of Amanda Johnson).
 







Photographer :: Glen E. Friedman, Gallery Retrospective

I had the opportunity to check out the work of photographer Glen E. Friedman this past weekend with Amanda (learn more about the artist "here" and "here" ). His body of work spans multiple decades and includes many famous photos of Run DMC, The Beastie Boys, The Dogtown Z-Boys, as well as many others. The retrospective was held at urban street artist, Shepard Fairey's own gallery, "Subliminal Projects" no less. Amanda and I both bought a book of the artists and luckily also got to meet the man and talk with him for a bit. We could have also met Shepard as he was also in attendance but I hesitated too long and he left before I got a chance to talk with him (sorry Amanda, lol). Anyway, the show will be until the 9th or 10th and I highly recommend it to anyone.

Sick Fit #7

Classy.

Urban Art Paris

If you are in Paris or plan on visiting it, make sure to check out the train station entrances. The city has decorated each one with a different look. Cool stuff!


Kris Van Assche Ankle Leather Sneakers

These are sick. I mostly like the colorway. Pick them up at the Colette store in Paris.

Xmas in San Diego

Spending Xmas  in San Diego is always really nice. I didn't get to catch all the people I wanted to see but I did hang out with some I have not seen in years. Of course there were the regulars, which is always nice, and my brother also traveled down from the bay.
