    Fitted Fridays: Obey x New Era “War Is Over”

    Friday, January 27, 2012

    For fans of Shepard Fairey’s work, this is probably the best interepretation in the form of a 59Fifty. Featuring a zeppelin and a slogan of “War Is Over”, all I can think about is being a walking sandwich boardman for Mr. Fairey. The wool black base is adorned with a textured and oversized embroidery upfront, [...]

    St. Valentine’s Devotional: think animals and nature for jewellery

    Thursday, January 26, 2012

    Not everyone agonizes over jewellery. I get that. So please, let me agonize for you.

    So, I have a little obsession with knit sweaters.  It started with one that I stole from my dad’s closet a few years back, which has now been worn to death.  I’ve inherited a bunch of the knit sweaters that he didn’t want and thus, began my obsession with knit sweaters.  In the past few [...]

    Concert Review: Fitz and The Tantrums in Vancouver

    Tuesday, January 24, 2012

    I was still standing in line at coat check when Fitz and the Tantrums started their first song “Don’t Gotta Work It Out”. Even without the sight of the stage I could tell from the chaotic loudness that it was going to be an amazing show at the Commodore. Turns out my prediction was right. The LA [...]

Joel Cooper’s Origami Mask and Tessellations

Taking a single sheet of paper, artist Joel Cooper makes intricate paper tessellations and origami masks.  It’s highly commendable that none of his origami sculptures require gluing or cutting.  However, each piece is unique due to hand-painted, dyed or stained with polyurethane, acrylic or shellac finishes.  More of Coopers work can be seen on his [...]
