The video is directed by Rik Cordero who also directed the “Blue Magic” video for Jay-Z. There is no chorus just Black […]

To quote our friend Trevor, “Real thugs spin electro,” and Mano is no exception. He made a guest appearance recently in Estelle’s new single with Kanye West “American Boy.” After a quick trip over to his Myspace page I was given a quick taste of what is to come. The 23 year old Chicago native […]

There’s nothing like getting your face out there and rubbing elbows with whom may one day be your peers. As I’m getting closer to completing my BFA in graphic design at the Academy of Art I’ve […]

When I ran into Chiara’s work I was blown away to say the least. Being wildly imaginative and visually alarming they stop you in your tracks. Women with antlers, secret messages to secret lovers (apparently her works are graphic message to a boy named Ilka), and lucha libre ravens. Chiara Bautista is a thrity one […]

A few months back Jason gave me a heads up about the BKc. I have really enjoyed their fresh take on street wear and haute couture. This Thursday they will be having a shindig at their SF store to showcase new products. I’d recommend stopping by and checking it out.
