Day 7. The art department in college and I were not friends. I once went to ask if I could do an independent study in stencils and street art and the professor said I could design flyers for their events instead. I wanted to show them that I could do something bigger and better than they had ever done. My friend Tory had the opportunity to put a show together on campus and she invited me to help. I immediately put together a whole shows worth of paintings using anything and everything I had. We went to the dumpsters behind campus and found green fences. I strapped the fences to the top of the golf cart I used for work at the MRC and took them over to the gallery. Tory, Jen and I spent the entire nite before the show opened putting everything together while A-Track songs played till 5am. That afternoon the show opened. All of the art professors came including the one that said I could make flyers for him. I loved the look on his face!!

Above is the Nike RT1. I posted about the RT1s before and this has become one of my favorite shoe concepts almost at the level of my love for Nike Dunk Highs.

Cloud and Rock suits. YOSHI Mario Galaxy 2 is not the only amazing game being released this May. Red Dead Redemption (HERE) hits shelves this month and this game is one word: GIGANTIC! Rockstar Games, the makers of the Grand Theft Auto series have put together what could possibly be one of the best games this year. You have to check out the video below to see how beautiful and massive the game is. You will not want to miss out on this experience. Also the multiplayer is just mind blowing. Check out the video below:
Lastly, IRON MAN 2 is an awesome movie. It released this weekend and most likely broke some sort of box office record. There is something about this movie that just makes we want to create some new gadjet or try something new. Hopefully you will have the opportunity to check it out in a theater near you. Check out the clip below of the amazing briefcase power suit.
