Where I'm From x Brent Rollins from Gasface on Vimeo.

Breakout power forward for the Clippers, yes the other LA team, Blake Griffin took the dunk top honors over the weekend. That much we do know. Last Thursday just in time for All Star Weekend, we had an amazing illustration mounted for the latest incarnation of the Billboard Project featuring said human canonball. What's truly interesting is that we allowed the featured artist, Jacob Weinstein carte blanche to create any graphic he wanted. It's amazing how things just seem to fall right into place...

Jacob Weinstein is a cartoonist, illustrator and designer. He is a founding member of FreeDarko, a collective of like-minded NBA writers and artists whose highly regarded blog has become a staple of basketball fandom on the Internet. He illustrated and designed FreeDarko's two books, The Macrophenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac and The Undisputed Guide to Pro Basketball History. He is also the author of the experimental comic book, Dirty Boxes. His work has appeared in the New Yorker, McSweeney's, Tin House, GQ and other publications. He was the art director and designer of the broadsheet newspaper The Philadelphia Independent. He lives in New York.

Earlier last week the trade shows ran through Las Vegas then migrated over here to Los Angeles. Amidst both stops UND grouped up with Converse and the All Gone crew of Paris, to collectively host a triple stack attack at two chapter store locations.

WHAT !!!

Starring Kobe Bryant, Bruce Willis, Danny Trejo and Kanye West.
Directed by Robert Rodriguez.

He was and still is the greatest.

Must have been cool to witness this in person.

Peace.....EC

OK call it late train or stand off attitude, perhaps even both but holy shit. This movie is all out amazing. I saw the trailer and basically thought "Oh great, Rocky 9". WRONG! I knew Bale has been a solid actor and Marky has had his gems. You ever see The Departed? So anyways every homie that has seen this movie went batshit so I figured ok, fine. Saw it last night in the best theater in the nation (Arclight <3) in the best seat in the house (empty back row, center <3). Went straight home after and marathoned 2 hours of youtube on Dicky Eklund and his younger brother Micky Ward. The Fighter is a true man's man type of movie. Heat, Godfather, Full Metal Jacket, Bronx Tale...ok you get it.

The divide between early Hardcore and Hip Hop was next to nothing if that at all. Back then you basically listened to both, at least as a skater. Of course jocks had their side and PR dudes had theirs. That's the beauty of knowing about launch ramps and kickflips. Anything goes.

Big Thanks to Norifumi "KID" Yamamoto and 13thWitness for rollin thru yesterday!!

Shout out to Dani "D-MoneyBags" Liechty for hoppin up in the photo!!!

This last Saturday the 5th, long time La Brea local and retail family supporter JP Pluniers hosted the album release of Root Hub at his new boutique Feal Mor. An endeavor that can be best described as a personal collection of unique articles of integrity and history sold along with his already notable clothing brand baring the same name. Root Hub, to the letter embodies the very same notes of passionate authenticity. A sound that combines the indigenous heart of Hawaii island life and folk musings of sunset Malibu bonfire circles. The pairing of these two like minded entities made for a memorable setting and live performance.

If you're in LV next week for the Tradeshows or a supporting local, please be sure to attend our upcoming event with Puma and musical guest N.E.R.D.

TIP: Bringing your GF to see Pharrell perform on Valentines Day may be the one move that puts you over the top. It's a free show and she does not need to know that part. You'll just roll up and be on the list plus 1. Like-A-Boss.

And have you ever heard a Jus Ske set? Bro...

It's sure to be a great time and turn out. RSVP now and roll earls.

Today marks the online release of Call of Duty Black Ops First Strike. Which consist of 4 new maps for multiplayer fragging, airstriking, sniping, assaulting and owning. I had the opportunity to go to game development company, Treyarch's campus this morning for a sneak peek run through and also to play along side NFL runningbacks Maurice Jones-Drew & Arian Foster.
