Del the Funky Homosapien featured on Freestyle 101
Thursday, March 27th, 2008
Celebrating the release of his long-awaited new studio album, The Eleventh Hour (on ultra-hip indie label Def Jux), Del The Funky Homosapien stopped by our very own Purple Reign Studios to drop a mean freestyle for G4 TV’s Freestyle 101. He spit a impromptu rhyme over a beat from the legendary Messiaz and later discussed the bay area lifestyle and rapping.

UncategorizedArt Anyone? Kelvin Visits the Hammer
Thursday, March 13th, 2008
Recently I visited the Hammer Museum in Westwood to see Kara Walker’s exhibition titled “My Complement, My Enemy, My Oppressor, My Love.” Walker works mainly in the disregarded art form of silhouette paper cutting and arranges these giant, full-walled, narrative murals that address issues of race, slavery, sexual exploitation, discrimination and reverse discrimination all filled with an air of sarcasm and subtle humor. It’s pretty heavy-handed work but it’s definitely worth a view if you get the chance. One of the coolest parts of the show is the cell-phone audio guided tour which lets you call a number from your cell and hear the artist personally speak about her work through a automated system.

Weekly Cashmere Collection…what we are feelin’ at the moment

Rona’s new find of the week: Her Scurvy Paul Frank iPhone case!
I stumbled across some new Paul Frank iPhone cases while visiting the La Jolla Apple store. There were a variety of Paul Frank cases, both folio cases and silicone cases. I prefer the silicone cases…but couldn’t decide between the one with the bass guitar on it and the one with the Skurvy print…I ended up selecting the Skurvy one because it was more colorful.
The case fits on my iPhone quite snuggly, and seems to do a decent job of protecting it. I think the inCase silicone cases are probably a little better in terms of protecting the iPhone, just not as cute. The only downside of the Paul Frank iPhone case seems to be that it attracts a lot of dust and lint, maybe it just stands out more because it’s a black case.
Just another case to add to my collection…looks like I’m on my way to having a collection of cases to match my kicks.
Get it Mama….T is lovin these Kicks…
Adidas recently teamed up with one of the leading female fashion designers in street wear to produce one of the most original collaborations to drop in a long time; the first shoe in the Womens Remix Collection… the Pro MAMA.
MAMA creator Gabriella A. Davi-Khorasanee is known for her fly fashion forward designs and elevating the female street wear scene to new heights with her high-end approach to a culture so immersed in casual attire.
Bringin it back with the oldschool 90’s basketball shoe, Gabriella adds her MAMA touch to the adidas ProModel not to mention she ties in her infamous tag line “always a lady.” The shoe has subtle but noticeable details that any sneaker fanatic would notice…. the traditional 3 white stripes over a heart embossed black leather background. And my favorite part….. the dope oldschool looking MAMA nameplate lace lock.
This release is strictly for the ladies and will also feature an updated version of MAMA’s lace New Era, MAMA nameplate necklace and matching apparel. Get it MAMA!!!!
Top audiophile pick of the week, courtesy of Justin “Jet” Li…
Audiophiles have had a tough time of it in recent years. Ever since the digital music revolution made it possible for music lovers to archive entire collections on a hard drive, high fidelity and the golden age of home audio equipment have all but disappeared. Fortunately for the stalwarts, a few companies still value the home stereo system as an important element in modern living.
The British manufacturer of high performance speakers, KEF, recently teamed up with the Italian manufacturer, Giorgetti, to prototype a beautiful hybrid stereo-cum-shelving unit, queerly dubbed Stringless Pleasure. Designed by the architect Chi-wing Lo for the Creation 9707 project (a campaign to promote Hong Kong design), the unit is fabricated from antique wood and accentuated by precious stone dials, a slot load CD drive, and a concealed iPod dock.

Embracing the Renaissance with Salvador Dali’s Swans Reflecting Elephants – Samantha the intern’s pick of the week
This is one of my favorite paintings; it shows how creative Dali was as an artist. If you look closely you can see the detail, the swans transform into elephants and other elements are utilized as well.
Street Movement… from the graphic design intern Sergio:
Street Art!!!! Bam, it’s there for anyone to see at any point in time. No one has to pay to see it. This society is bombard by ads and its ok, yet when the space isn’t paid for we think it’s an eyesore. A majority of people who have done street art / graffiti have become designers that fund their personal work. It is a perfect way to design without losing your soul. Artists have always made political posters, Shepard Fairy though is one taking it to a more contemporary time now with elections brewing, with his talents shows his support of Barack Obama. Pivotal for our generation because it also motivates younger voters to take a look at politics and go out and vote.
Kosta is takin it back to the days of the Muppets…Kermit the face of Supreme:
Terry Richardson gets busy with Kermit and Supreme. Every year Supreme has a celebrity to take a photo with there shirt on. This years celebrity is my all time favorite. Kermit the frog. Hes my homeboy from way back!!! But besides that Supreme always comes with interesting and creative marketing schemes and this one tops it off! Its so brilliant to get a puppet that the whole world knows. And not just kids but adults too. Genius. I wonder how much he costs?
