L.A.-based artist Joshua Callaghan uses his education in cultural anthropology and fine arts to create sick installations that serve as both art and a way to disguise undesirable city objects such as utility boxes. Using adhesive vinyl graphics (merchandisers take notes), the images reflect the nature that could be hidden behind or in place of the object actually there. Skate photos on this stuff would look so sick.
Dropping the unwanted sugars that make Gatorade and other endurance beverages hard to swallow, Nuun delivers the electrolytes your body needs while lightly flavoring your water with a hint of lemon and lime, orange and ginger, citrus fruits and more. $6.50 a tube (roughly 50 cents per 16 oz. drink), you'd be hard pressed to find a cheaper sport drink.
Wow Rob Dyrdek has it good. Shit, he's got MTV paying for anything now. His new show on MTV, Fantasy Factory, has been in production for a minute, and like everything photos were leaked. The Fantasy warehouse in L.A. includes a Skate Plaza/basketball facility/toymaking/havoc-wreaking mash-up. Look out of his new bulldog puppy Beefy, an SUV called Stormtroopin’, and a 3-wheeled car called Hot Crap. No premiere date for the show, so keep checking its My Space page.
