Mai Handwoven is the wife and I’s side project. It’s a line of silk scarves, pillows and wall hangings all hand dyed using colors derived from 100% natural sources, and handwoven on traditional looms. Anyway, we just did a site redo with new items, a bunch of new content and a new web store. We’d love for you to stop by.  www.maihandwoven.com

Geoff McFetridge did the hand-drawn title sequencing for the upcoming October 16 release of “Where The Wild Things Are.”

They’ve recently released 33 stills and in the mix, they included these…

Fellow Mumble member Lori D just sent me this link to her brothers new website. www.nickdamiano.com 

The animation below my favorite, but I also highly recommend having a look at The “Chinese Underpants Russian Mountain” zine series. 

The blog internet thing is becoming so much fun for me! I used to do zines when I was a kid and they were truly inspired by other skate zines which just did whatever they wanted. Now with photoshop and creating lying, I can do whatever i want people to see and think! I love it!! I’ve just started a new post type thing called, “Kridix Korner” It’s a way of getting art reviews that I can control completely due to the simple fact that I’m the one doing it! One thing you all should know about me is, I like making stuff up but I don’t lie about it…usually. Here’s the link, my first post was deleted by someone “the dog” offended..

Oh, by the way, I named it “Kridix Korner” because I was too lazy to use spell check at the time and forgot how to spell “Critic’s”.

Stereo’s Hi-Fi wheels has a new promo dropping April 15 with a pretty sick line up for sure.  Check out the teaser below.

Recently created by Archivirus Architecture and Design, the Ramp House is a response to the client’s request for a “skateable habitat”.  According to architect Athanasia Psaraki, the Ramp House is a project which tries to reconsider and redefine the living space. The result of the client’s request is a curved form interior, which “set the whole house as well as the inhabitant’s life, into motion”.  In the space, which is a roof addition to an existing three-storey building, she tries to achieve a balance between old and new. The dominant material was wood, so a wooden pergola and wooden horizontal louvers surround the new structure, connecting the old and new.  The architect wanted the ‘skateboarding’ element to be more than simply putting a mini ramp in the living room. Rather, the ramp, the bowl and all the interpretations of those terms would actually become the building elements for this space. It is intended to be a ‘ramp house’ and not a ‘house with a ramp’. Straight lines are curved and the flat surface becomes a ramp or a bowl. Basic house elements such as the fireplace and storage units are hidden inside the ramp forms.  The street aesthetics of the skate scene are combined with a home atmosphere by combining concrete and wood. Concrete walls mould into the floor and concrete turns into wood to create a ramp partition with the kitchen. In that way, says the architect, somebody can flow from one space to the other, skating or walking.

We ran into this dude smuggling Piñatas the other day.
