M.I.A. Okley Clothing Line

M.I.A. is taking after Kanye and started her own line of fresh gear. Strictly for the ladies who like to be a little edgy and stand out from the tamed. The collection reflects her own personal eclectic style, featuring jackets/hoodies, leggings and pattern t's. M.I.A. plans to keep marketing on the low, trying to achieve that underground steez. Currently Karmaloop.com. sells her stuff, so ladies check them out if you want to cop something. Yea her stuff is loud, but don't front, the t-shirt above is pretty slick, some of the other pieces in the collection are kind of...extra. For the most part this is a solid first run, there's even a Mexican bodysuit as part of the collection...teleport to see more

New Bansky

Most of the art from Bansky that we've shown you is graffiti but his most recent work comes in the form of paintings. Titled CCTV, Night Hawks, and Crude Oil his new works are stimulating. Bansky's commentary on society are always relevant and fascinating and his new work is no different. CCTV, pictured above makes me think of all the surveillance cams that are installed in D.C. Its a reminder that Big Brother is always watching. What do you get from it? Teleport for Night Hawks and Crude Oil.

Nike SB 09 Preview

With 2008 coming to an end Nike SB is giving us a little preview of whats in store for next year. I'm actually impressed with their Fall 09 collection. The collection features the kicks you love and a couple new ones. I'm especially excited for the new P-Rod 3. I just started skating my J-rods and need an upgrade. With this preview its safe to say that Nike SB will continue to be big in 09. Teleport for more pics of the collection.

Disposable II: A Skateboard Collector’s Bible

Way back in time, during my Freshman college year(2004) Powell-Perralta designer Sean Cliver set out to create the ultimate catalog of skateboard graphic art. Titled Disposable the first attempt was missing a few things. In January, Clivers second edition, Disposable II: A Skateboard Collector’s Bible, will be available via Ginko Press. This time around you'll see more comprehensive material, and aside from the boards, features stories and interviews from some of the industries best know. Should be a great coffee table book for the new pad!
