We Were Once A Fairy Tale…

by Mayo on Nov.27, 2009, under Art, Music

I’ve… Been… Sleeeepin…

“We Were Once a Fairy Tale” a short film by Kanye West & Spike Jonze

The distinctive clip features West’s song “See You in My Nightmares” playing in the background at a club while he drunkenly stumbles, dances and screams alongside other patrons. Later on in the vanity-free clip, he vomits, passes out on the bathroom floor and stabs himself. “When everyone goes big, go small. When everyone goes clean, go dirty,” West wrote of the video. “When everybody puts on the craziest outfits ever, put on your favorite old Band of Outsiders dinner jacket and pull a monster out of your soul.”

In closing, Kanye promised that fans haven’t seen the last of his “Fairytale” creation. “I wish I could say that monster was truly dead,” he wrote, “but I think he’ll be back to life sitting on my shoulder when I get back in the studio.”

Romance

by Mayo on Nov.14, 2009, under Photography

Heres a few shots from the new photo-book from Chis Craymer entitled, Romance.

I’ve seen a few people complaining that the pics don’t truly represent “love/romance” since there is more to it than just innocent/playful kisses… and sex.

I disagree…  Isn’t that where it starts?  ;)

Talk to me people, where do you stand??

Never Can Say Goodbye…

by Mayo on Sep.18, 2009, under Music

MichaelJacksonYoung_t_w300_h600Damn…

Best of both worlds right here…

Anyone that knows me, knows that even through his weird phases, I’ve been a loyal Michael Jackson fan.

To this day, ‘Off The Wall’ is one of my favorite albums of all time (if not my favorite), and theres nothing better than listening to throwback Jackson 5 tracks.

As much as I hate attempts at remixing classics, this Neptunes remix of ‘Never Can Say Goodbye’ is a delight.

Maybe its because Im also a big fan of Pharrell and Mr. Hugo…

Either way it has me reaching for the repeat button.

Jill Tovey

Jill Tovey 000The Who: Jill Tovey
The What: Illustrator

Just stumbled upon Jill Tovey, a part-time Illustrator from the UK.  I am absolutely diggin her style, and cant wait to have her work on my walls…

The range of color used to create such abstract realism is just captivating…  I’m even feeling her humble little self-bio:

“I am your average country bumpkin that likes anything creative and weird. I live in the middle of nowhere with Andy and our basset hound, Hugo.”

Marc Philbert 002Dope!

Photographer Marc Philbert takes a unique approach with this set, using the model’s body as a canvas for projected images.

Carefully selecting the image with the pose, Philbert is able to capture very stunning shots.

Im guessing we will start to see more of these type of photo-shoots take place…

Pulse, by Teague

by Mayo on Aug.09, 2009, under Whips

Pulse, by Teague 002“Pulse” the concept urban bike… that glows.

Here’s what Teague had to say: “150 years of continuous/passionate refinement have resulted in bicycle components that are both ultra efficient and ultra reliable. And yet this passionate perfection hides in plain sight. The power of design is its ability to create (animal) magnetism around compelling ideas in relevant context. –Pulse is a transportation solution in synch with the needs of today’s urban denizen.”

I actually think the idea is nice, and the execution pretty sick.  If I ever were to be back in the “bike” market, I would consider one!
