more details on the levis cycling line RE BLOGGED FROM PROLLY IN NOT PROBABLY
Over the past few months, I've been involved with some killer projects, one of which is finally getting some daylight. You might have caught the Levi's Commuter Jean post a few weeks ago. What I didn't mention in that entry was that Levi's is also working on a cycling jean jacket. When I found out about this months ago, I chuckled to myself. I've owned many Levi's jackets and denim is the last thing I want on my back while riding. Or so I thought. I sat down with the Levi's creative team and some friends to discuss the forthcoming line.
Let's put a hold on the jacket discussion for the time-being and focus on these commuter jeans. Levi's knows that their current denim isn't ideal for cycling. There are numerous factors that they addressed but the one that was key in the development was the fabric treatment. Levi's developed a proprietary nanopsphere treatment for their denim in the Commuter Line. This keeps them stain-free and you'll have to work extra hard to make them smell. What this means is more wears and less washes. They also chose a lighter-weight fabric with a special weave to give it a little stretch.
Various other details were incorporated to the classic 511® Skinny model. One of which is a zippered stash pocket.
And an integrated u-lock holster complete with campione del monde stripes. A subtle detail that offers increased durability to the holster.
3M-lining on the inner cuff adds some visibility. The jeans are also gusseted to prevent crotch blowout and sport a higher-cut back to hide that plumber's crack. So after all these add ons how much will these bad boys cost? Well, the 511® Skinny Commuter retails for $78 and comes in a denim and non-denim version (pictured). If $78 is too steep for your wallet, there will also be another version that comes in around $50 and lacks the zippered pocket.
Back to the jacket. Like the jeans, Levi's chose a lighter-weight fabric for the Trucker jacket. This fabric also has a bit of stretch to it and is treated with the same nanopsphere treatment.
They're there when you need them and can easily be hidden when you don't.
Which seems to be the re-occurring theme here. See the three jersey pockets?
But what about addressing the "in the drops / on the hoods" position? The sleeves incorporate a reinforced accordion design, allowing the jacket to expand while riding. Across the back are vents to offer a little more breath-ability to the already lightweight denim. Like the jeans, the jacket has a scooped tail to cover your lower back and has extensions over the cuffs to offer some hand coverage.
Let's just say they covered all the bases and while denim might not be a traditional material for cycling-related apparel, these jackets are a huge improvement over riding in the standard jackets. With all these improvements to their base-model, how much will the jackets run? The Levi's Trucker Jacket retails for $128. Not bad huh? Unlike the jeans, the jacket comes in the color shown and that's it.

Balancing Act
I wasnt intended on painting a chair at all. however, as an artist, sometimes the situation is not up to me to control.
my client offered a space to hang my paintings so they will be on display as long as i want. Under one condition though: ever once awhile i paint something that would fit in with the decoration of her restaurant.
and, this painting is the result of the deal we made.
I hope you guys enjoy seeing it as much as i enjoyed painting it.

why street art matters. Reblogged from The Cool Hunter
Some city councils get it, others don’t. Tapping the creative talents of street artists, illustrators and graphic designers is an effective and cool way to make bland public spaces, old buildings, bridges and car parks new again, and to freshen up the concrete jungle.
It is also an effective way of keeping graffiti away. Plus it draws attention to the building or structure as “potential” not as something to be hated. Maybe it will even bring a buyer, a new occupant or additional creative ideas about how to revitalize the building? Anything but the current dilapidated state of abandoned spaces!
Street artists and muralists bring with them vibrant and a new perspective that architects or designers may not have. This does not mean that millions need to be spent to upgrade the buildings immediately, all you need is vision, courage, local creative talent and some colorful paint like these perfect examples here. Our subscriber list reads like the Who-is-Who of city councils around the globe. So here’s a challenge to you: You need to step up and change the face of your city. There are way too many ugly, run-down buildings, bridges, tunnels and walkways that can be completely transformed into exciting and fun environments with some creative input.
WE MAKE THE CHANGES, NOT THE OTHER AWAY AROUND!

chinese, art, news.
Ai Weiwei, the artist behind the 2008 Olympics' famous Bird's Nest stadium (and last year's Tate Modern Turbine Hall show), has been detained by Chinese authorities in Beijing after attempting to board a flight to Hong Kong. Ai—a funny guy whose "Study in Perspective" series has a special place in our eternally-teenaged hearts—has been "keeping an informal tally" on Twitter of the writers and activists detained by China in its latest series of crackdowns; as of this writing it's unclear whether he'd been "formally detained" (bad news) or simply held for questioning (less bad news). Police have also surrounded his Beijing studio and cut off its power, just in case any art escapes.
