Currently they print and sell prints by some of the most highly regarded designers and artists of our time. To name a few artists Above, JR, Blu, Ethos just to name a few.
If you remember I’ve talked about Above, Blu, and JR before.

On Aug. 3rd at the Gatineau Museum of Civilization Red Bull is hosting their Flugtag event. I’m not too sure what I think of it as it currently seems to be no way to win. However the even looks like it could at least hold some hilarity to it. So check it out. Aug 3rd. Gatineau Museum of Civilization, if you don’t know where that is you probably are not from Canada and should not bother trying to make it to this event, wait until Red Bull hold an event in your area.
I’ve recently been loving the publication/blog Refinery 29. They are out of NYC and cater to Fashion, Travel, Music, Deisgn oriented people. They have a LA edition as well. The site has everything from Shop directories per city as well as online video content. They are “devoted to seeking out the people, products, and ideas that set the bar for originality and exceptionally, season after season.” Which is great!! Since I first came across Refinery 29 i have notices significant content updates and site improvements which really emphasizes their whole “forward thinking” ideals.
I would defiantly mark Refinery 29 as a bi-weekly stop on your online browsing.
I came across these concept Limited Ed. Nike SB Dunks done by Concepts in Cambridge MA. and are by far one of the most original designs I’ve seen for a SB show so far. The inspiration came from the New England lobster and fishing community. I’ve found out a bit late seeing they were released May 31 but non the less these are FRESH!
Monocle, first published in February 2007 is a global briefing covering international affairs, business, culture and design. Headquartered in London with bureaux in Tokyo, Sydney, Zürich and New York. It is published 10 times a year with frequent online updates on their website. The publication started by Canadian journalist and entrepreneur Tyler Brûlé. Brûlé was the one behing Wallpaper* when it started in 1996 in London - which also happens to be another one of my favorite publications. What draws me to Monocle is its diverse content targeted towards an urbanite. In brief Monocle was developed for an international audience hungry for information across a variety of sectors, Monocle’s team of award-winning editors and correspondents have been drawn from The New York Times, The Independent on Sunday, the BBC, CBC and a host of other news and current affairs outlets. I highly recommend gazing through the site or printed pages if your any sort of rennesance man or woman.
Some of the most influential agencies with contemperary design and new media are I LOVE DUST and PHUNK STUDIO. I found a video for each agency and either a show real or an interview.
