Another noteworthy piece seen at the Hurley Campus in Huntington Beach was a collaborative bike series with Livery Design Gruppe.

Featuring a geometrically vivacious blend of color and form, these bikes showcase the artwork of world-renowned artist Dalek (James Marshall). These rolling art pieces were commissioned by Hurley to compliment their ultra high-end line of Phantom boardshorts and swimwear.

The bike pictured above is being raffled off at the US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, CA this weekend.

Advertising agency DDB of Berlin Germany created this clever campaign for BOSCH fridges new VitaFresh technology.

Fortunately, I try to make it a point to include as many of brothers and sisters of this wide world of ours in everything that I do. An environmentally conscious (and emotionally jarring) website called, ItItWasMyHome.com, has taken up the task of creating a geo-location-based script that superimposes the most current area map of the oil spill onto your current location or any one that you type in the search fields.

Now, people in New York, Beijing, Paris, London, Los Angeles and the world over can catch a what-if scenario as to what the oil spill would look like if there city was the epicenter.

Granted, this is not going to do the hell of a lot to reverse the effects of the spill, but this can at least be one step towards heightened activism on a more global scale.

The doc, for the most part, does a very good job of sticking to the bare facts and nothing more. I’ve never been the biggest fan of Michael Moore films, so I tend to be a tad bit more critical when I see a documentary start to embellish more than report.

The most poignant part of this film came when they did a synopsis of the Monsano Group, an organization that is credited with creating a patented, pesticide-resistant seed, only to find out that the pesticide that they are resistant to is Roundup (a product of the Monsano Group). It was then reported that Monsano was sending private investigators to farms across the country to insure that subsidized farmers weren’t using a seed that was unapproved by the group.

A chicken warehouse that stores up to 5,000 hens at a time.

Many people warned me that that I was going to leave this documentary as a newfound vegetarian, but that simply wasn’t the case. Granted, I may never visit another fast food joint again, but I feel like you have to be naive to think that mass production techniques have not trickled into the way we get our daily bread.

The only thing I wish the documentary would have expounded more on was the hypocrisy of the organic movement and how even they tried the justify the use of assembly line-like methods to further expand their business, but I believe the point of this movie was to do more than just play devil’s advocate; it’s real purpose was to show that humans, at one time, relied and flourished on self-sustainability. This is not the case now.

We’ve become so complacent with the status quo that we fail to see that we’re slowly killing ourselves and future generations with the way we consume our food.

Food Inc. is a great film for anyone our there who needs a compelling reason as to why they should change the way they see, purchase and eat food.

Hailed as the flagship shoe for the Jordan Brand of sneakers, the Spizike was received with mix reviews. While devoted Spike Lee/Michael Jordan devotees reveled in the sheer nostalgia that took them back to some of the first Lee/Jordan commercials, younger sneakerheads were not very impressed with the iconic red/black/grey colorways of the first release.

Selling for a mere $175, the Jordan Infrared  Spizikes are a welcomed addition to anyone who connects with MJ and his iconoclasm…well…before he decided to make “Space Jam”.

In America, there’s is a very strong bond that citizens share with the food that they consume. There are gluttons, who merely eat for the same of consumption. And then there are gourmands, who feel that the intensity at which food should be prepared and consumed should be equal.

Then there are those who take food and its preparation to a much higher level than ever seen before. A blog called DesiGnBeeP compiled a portfolio, of sorts, different types of food being manipulated into works of art. Some are comical and satirical while others are just downright morose.

Either way, it’s a true testament against all those times when your parents used to tell you that it was rude to play with your food.

For all the sneaker heads out there...

Introducing  Esslack Food Spray! A 100% edible, spray-paint-like substance that comes in gold and silver varieties. The concept itself is ingenious and could potentially have a great deal of shelf life if it catches on with the right target audiences (read: eccentric designers and hipsters).

The gold variation of Esslack spray paint in action.

The idea was created in Germany along side the uber haute Korefe agency. Notwithstanding, the can art is pretty damned imaginative, too.

Now, I don’t foresee an increase in foodie gangs tagging four-course dinners from here to Momofuku, but I’ll bet my hard-earned blogging dollars that a ballsy group of rouge chefs out there will make sure that spray painted foods and garnishes will become something of a signature for their most prolific dishes in the near future.

The edible paint also comes in silver.

Until then, feel free to pick up a can or two of the stuff yourself. Go nuts with it! It’ll be the the perfect opportunity to show all of your friends how progressive and artistically ahead of the curve you are.
