Jay-Z, London and Star Wars

Jay-Z in the 1930s.

Color footage of 1927 London. Note how in the 1920s the streets were owned by pedestrians.

The best Star Wars themed humor mixed with conspiracy theory.

I’ve got my spine, I’ve got my orange crush.

“Hip Hop On Trial” Public Debate

thos — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 17:05:34 +0000

For all you intellectual Hip Hop heads, there’s a huge global public debate going down in London today. But its also going to be using Google+ Hangouts and streamed live on Youtube. Sounds a bit gimmicky and marketing-ish but when you check the list of participants you can’t really go wrong: ?uestlove, Q-tip, Krs-One, Dream Hampton, P.J. O’Rourke, an advisor to the UK Prime Minister on youth & crime, and a bunch of others. Oh yea, Jesse Jackson, of course he’s involved too. I’m just wondering where Davey D is and why he’s not involved?

Dear Mr. Peter Preffington, Doooooope. Sincerely, the World.

This man is a style king. The clean lines, color schemes, letter style. It’s all there. But then BOOM, the concept smacks you silly just long enough after you’ve been able to dribble out a “oh that looks cool.” Most writers have troubles with one word at a time, Pref attacks it exponentially. Simple/Complex. All flicks from his Flickr…

Noemie Goudal- Photographer Master Blaster

I’m always trying to think of ways to push photography forward beyond just the reproduction of an image on a 8×10 piece of glossy paper. Usually I hit a brick wall. Then I come across works of obvious genius such as the art of Noemie Goudal. She interjects the flat into the 3-d and vice versa, juxtaposing what was, what could be, or what it will return to be. But most of all it just looks fresh!
