ASTE MILKSHAKE DECKS

SKATEBOARD DECKS HAVE ALWAYS IMPRESSED ME SO MUCH WITHIN THE WAY THEY HAVE BETTER LOOKING DESIGNS FOR PRODUCTS THAT DON'T EXIST (ESTE MILKSHAKES) COMPARED TO COMPANIES THAT HAVE A REAL PRODUCT. I LOVE THE DETAIL AT THE BOTTOM WITH THE STICKER THAT IS JUST SLIGHTLY PEELING OFF.

BOND NO. 9

THIS NEW YORK BASED FRAGRANCE COMPANY PAYS HOMAGE TO ALL THE NEIGHBORHOODS IN THE CITY. THEIR SCENTS INCLUDE CHINATOWN, CONEY ISLAND, AND CHELSEA FLOWERS. THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR IS A REALLY NICE DESIGN...KIND OF HOW SPRING FEELS IN NY. SUCH FRESH COLORS.

AMAZING...

..WHAT A MATTER OF INCHES MEANS BETWEEN WINNING AND LOSING

TRAGIC OR PLEASURE?

I KNOW THIS BOSE AD IS SUPPOSED TO SHOW THAT THEIR HEADPHONES ARE JUST OH SO LOUD WITH AWESOMENESS AND YOU COULD BE PADDLING ALONG IN YOUR LITTLE BOAT AND NOT HEAR A WATERFALL. WELL, I CHOSE TO LOOK AT THIS DIFFERENTLY. I SEE IT AS METAPHOR FOR LIFE. CERTAIN EVENTS IN LIFE ARE UNAVOIDABLE AND ULTIMATELY YOU HAVE A CHOICE AS TO HOW YOU CAN REACT. WITH THE "WATERFALL", YOU CAN PADDLE AS HARD AS YOU WANT, TOTALLY FREAKING OUT, AND ALL THAT HAPPENS IS YOU JUST SUFFER BEFORE INEVITABLY GOING DOWN. OR YOU CAN SIMPLY ENJOY THE RIDE WHILE IT LASTS. AND IF YOUR GOING TO GO DOWN, MIGHT AS WELL GO BIG.

PUZZLEBOARD

CREATIVE AND FUNCTIONAL. I WAS SOLD WHEN I SAW THE WINE GLASS HOLDER. DESIGN BY OOOMS

IMPOSSIBLE COOL

BOTH OF THESE MEN EMBODIED DIFFERENT DEGREE OF COOLNESS. STEVE MCQUEEN WAS AN ICONIC SEX SYMBOL AND A HOLLYWOOD A-LISTER IN REGARD TO HIS CRAFT OF ACTING. BRUCE LEE WAS THE GREATEST MARTIAL ARTIST EXPERT THE WORLD HAD EVER SEEN. WHAT IS AMAZING IS THAT BOTH MEN ENVIED EACH OTHER EQUALLY. LEE SO BADLY WANTED TO BE ACCEPTED AND REVERED IN AMERICA THE SAME WAY MCQUEEN WAS. MCQUEEN ON THE OTHER HAND DESIRED TO BE A PHYSICAL SPECIMEN JUST AS LEE. THEY WERE FRIENDS. BOTH WERE TRYING TO HELP EACH OTHER ACHIEVE WHAT SEEMED TO BE UNOBTAINABLE. LEE SPARED WITH MCQUEEN AND TAUGHT HIM MARTIAL ARTS. MCQUEEN INTRODUCED LEE TO VARIOUS DIRECTORS, PRODUCERS, AND OTHER CELEBRITIES IN HOLLYWOOD. SADLY, NEITHER WOULD TRULY FIND WHAT THEY WERE LOOKING FOR.

FUTURISTIC WALL PANEL

INTERESTING IDEA. IT WOULD BE FUN TO FOOL FRIENDS WITH THIS. HAVE SOMEONE COME OVER FOR A VISIT, CHANGE THE WALL WHEN THEY LEAVE THE ROOM, AND THEN ACT LIKE NOTHING HAS CHANGED. DESIGN BY AMIRKO
