It’s not about studio, not about flashes, not about sets and fakes; It’s about fashion and portraits going down to the streets. Shooting mainly women, his portfolio is a treat for the mind and the eyes.

Wasbar in Ghent

Sometimes a solution is so obvious that it makes you wonder how on earth nobody came up with it before. Wasbar, a brand-new launderette/meeting place, is a fine example: while their dirty laundry spins, the people of Ghent can enjoy a drink with friends or get a new hairdo in one of the two hairdresser’s chairs. The all-in-one concept was elaborated by Pinkeye.

The property that Wasbar occupies was formerly a bookshop. Its worn-out parquet floor was given a fresh coat of lacquer, while the ceiling with its decorative mouldings was left intact. The technical aspect presented the biggest challenge. “A launderette primarily requires plenty of brainwork and preparatory work: you need extra power to keep everything running and we wanted to hide the pipes and wiring from view,” Pinkeye’s creative director Ruud Belmans explains. The pipes and wiring are ensconced in the cellar, leaving just the rows of sleek machines in the space above. There’s nothing about a washing machine which says it has to stand in an unpleasant space.

“Przelany” Armchair by Wamhouse


 

03 01Polish design studio WAMHOUSE recently has created the new armchair “Przelany”. At the first look it looks more like a digital art piece than an actual armchair. The chair seems to be modeled after a pot pouring out coffee – the main chair is shaped like a pot and the way the back of the seat sprays out like a splash of liquid is slightly unreal. The spilling back of the Przelany Armchair is designed two colors – chocolate and red.

Disney to Acquire Lucasfilm


Disney announced Tuesday that it is acquiring Lucasfilm LTD, including the Star Wars franchise, for $4.05 billion in stock and cash. In a press release announcing the acquisition, Disney announced that Star Wars Episode 7 is targeted for a release date in 2015 and that “more feature films expected to continue the Star Wars saga and grow the franchise well into the future.” On a conference call, Disney CEO Bob Iger said that in addition to Episode 7, episodes 8 and 9 are also in the works. The goal, Iger said, was to “release a new Star Wars feature film every two to three years.” This is Disney’s third major brand and studio acquisition in the last ten years. In 2006, the company acquired Pixar for $7.4 billion. In 2009, Disney acquired Marvel for $4 billion. Lucasfilm co-chairman Kathleen Kennedy will become president of Lucasfilm under Disney and serve as Star Wars brand manager. George Lucas will serve as a creative consultant. The other subsdiaries of Lucasfilm, LucasArts, Industrial Light & Magic and SKywalker Sound are also moving to Disney. The plan is to keep all Lucasfilm employees at its current San Francisco headquarters. What do you think of this merger between two of the biggest entertainment brands in the world?

Wiz Khalifa – Day Today -While You Were Sleeping.


Wiz Khalifa’s video blog series “DayToday” follows the young rapper through his entertianment  exploits.  With dozens of episodes already out, the first one that caught my eye was “While You Were Sleeping”.  This video follows Wiz in the studio with Pharrell Williams and a few others (including Tyler The Creator).  Check out a little of what it’s like to be Wiz.

Snoop Dogg And Wiz Khalifa Live Studio Footage.


Snoop D-O-double-G and Wiz Khalifa have quite a bond, not only because they both have a “green thumb”, but they get along inside and out of the studio.  Most people get to see the interviews and public interactions between these green genies, but recently Wiz and Snoop met up with Warren G, and the beginning of the session was all caught on tape.  Check the method.

YMCMB In Hawaii.


It’s no surprise to anyone that Birdman and the YMCMB crew do it big.  But this 12 minute docu-film about a recent trip to the U.S.’s 50th state was still quite interesting to watch.  Check the method below.

Xian Mikol Quon.


Every so often I (or someone on my team) come across an amazing woman, who fits the credentials to be put up on this blog.  Some come from expected sources, and other just kind of float into my inbox, but when my assistant put me onto a site named “Me In My Place” I was quite astounded.  The wonder of “Me In My Place” is summed up most perfectly by their own little quote “Real girls in their own place. Not too crazy and just a pinch of naughty….”.   Xian Quon fits this description to the T.  Her photos are simple yet provocative, and seem to draw the eye of everyone without needing to be overly explicit, or blatantly sexual.  All I know about Xian personally is that she currently resides in L.A.  But if you feel the unyielding need to hit her up directly, you can find Xian on Twitter.

Slaughterhouse Studio Footage.


Its rare to find a person unaware that every member of the rap group Slaughterhouse is a lyrical beast.  The BET cypher this year has a special 9 minute finale that includes all the members of Shady 2.0, along with Em himself.  The video below picks up before the start of the BET awards and shows a studio session in ATL with the group.  I was surprised at what an honest, genuine look at the way this group interacts.  Who knew you could have so much fun in the Slaughterhouse?

KJ – Ex Explanation.


Click the pic to download

It’s always hard to see someone in your life walk away (for whatever reason).  Be it an ex-girlfriend, and ex-boyfriend, an ex-client, or a best friend, there’s always some part of the brain or heart that yearns for that individual to come back.  Seeing as how my good friend, the emcee extraordinaire KJ is leaving the Bay for a bit, I only figured it’d be fitting that I release her track about missing loved ones to the world.  Re-engineered, and re-edited, KJ’s singing debut about missing someone special seemed like the perfect goodbye present.  Click the pic to download.
