One of Vancouver’s very own talented artists and a friend of Killahbeez, Jeff Hamada, was recently randomly selected by the peoples at Converse in contributing a design to the Converse (Product)Red campaign, the campaign is commissioning a 100 musicians, graphic and graffiti artists from all over the world to create their own piece. We here at Killahbeez have posted a few of the products in the past. 10% of the net wholesale price from the campaign will go towards the charity (Product)Red, which is a global charity that is aiding in the fight against HIV / AIDS in Africa. The design is a drawing of 100 hands, to represent the hands of the world reaching out to help Africa, and the hands of Africa reaching out for help.

This comes by way of Jeff Hamada over at Booooooom.com, I was at a meeting with him and some talented writers, Bart, Chris and Mike. Watch out for them dudes, they’re gonna be working on some hilarious shit over the next little bit and will be sharing with you Killahbeez readers. Anyways during that meeting of the minds, Jeff got us to pull up this clip of someone taking the time to cut up words from Barack Obama’s speeches and matching them to Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” lyrics. This may be the illest shit ever. Anyways I realize this is  old, but I hadn’t seen it and I thought I’d share incase anybody else missed it.
