Adidas D Rose 3.5 is a pretty serious shoe. Too bad the clear soles get worn out so quickly.

I have a strange fascination with A-frame diagrams for buildings. The Kuokkala Church by Lassila Hirvilammi in Finland combines a symmetrical/axial worship space plan with a series of slight angle twists to the form to create auxiliary spaces.

“Cloud” is a part of an on-going series, unofficially titled “cloud series.” I’m interested in the ever-changing quality of clouds and how that quality translates into a static image.

Studio Weave’s art/music installation Lullaby Factory transforms a neglected space in the rear of a few buildings at the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children into a fantastical machine that makes songs for the children who are patients there. Amazing and inspiring.

I worked on a project near Lincoln Center a while back and during the times around Fashion Week, I would see the crowds of people posing and taking pictures outside at the fountain. Now I know what they’re up to and who their haters are. People on both sides of the lens seem to enjoy it. And these people who said they were there first and don’t like being crowded out, who cares?

Can’t wait for Star Trek Into Darkness

Chairs Game rethinks what a game should and could be.

We are so very excited to announce the launch of a collaboration with one of our favorite shops - Poketo! We partnered up with Poketo to create a series of City Wallets by four Working Proof artists: Emily Dumas, Dan Funderburgh, James Gulliver Hancock, and Linda Kim. Bearing the iconic images of each city as seen through the eyes of each artist, the wallets are defined by bright prints and colors that capture the spirit and fun of exploration.

Each wallet is made of durable vinyl (double layer for extra strength). Contains 3 slots for credit cards, a bill slot, and a change purse. The wallet is 8.5″ x 3.75″ open, but folds perfectly to fit in your pocket (4.25″ x 3.75″). The wallet ships flat but once you fold it, stays folded. All wallets come with a matching pin and bio card of the artist.

The Working Proof will donate 10% of each wallet sold to 826 National. We love what they do as an organization to encourage creativity and to make writing and learning fun for kids. Poketo will be donating 10% of proceeds from the City wallet sales to their local 826 chapter, 826LA from March 11th through June 1st.

Los Angeles, by James Gulliver Hancock.

James Gulliver Hancock is obsessed with cities and drawing. That combination has seen him attempt to draw all the buildings in New York, all the rain in London, and all the cars in Los Angeles. He lived in Los Angeles and learned its circulation of concrete veins – 101 to the 110 to the 10 right?

Supra for KIDS! I like that Ellington is in the video.

New Balance’s 3D-printed outsoles/spike plates are the wave of the future…for elite athletes. Not quite so much for weekend warriors.
