Apologies for all the viral guff, but here goes anyway:



Amazing!

Livi Fun Day(s) 2008

You may not have heard, but the 2008 leg of the legendary Live Pure Fun Weekend is this coming weekend! This year will probably be a more low key event than those of previous years, but if you can then go along, show your support and try to avoid anyone else in the big bowl at midnight.

Who would have thought a ZX Spectrum could still be useful.

This was created by James Houston a graduate of Glasgow Art School who utilised old computer parts to remix Radioheads Nude. Hope you enjoy.

Black & White

The Obey Black & White Collection is now instore and online. The concept behind this collection was to reissue some classic prints from years gone by, but strip it back to the basics and only use black and white t-shirts with contrasting prints.

These are only available in 15 stores across the Uk and supply is very limited.

View the Obey Black & White Collection here.

Cheers Finlay!

Little Finlay who frequents the shop (especially on Sundays) has done us proud. Check out the clock he made for us at school, pretty impressive.

Finlay's parents owe a really cool toy shop on Victoria St, Click on the link for some authentic wooden toys.

Point & Shoot #1

Was about to head home after a post-shift session at Kelvingrove yesterday when young Thomas Shimmin Esq. started to attack these stairs. All of this went down within 10 minutes (half cab flip first try!), impressive stuff.

Look out for more local footage shot on a shitty digital camera on here throughout the Summer. Bo!

Horton in the House.

My Ben Horton painting finally made it to Edinburgh courtesy of Mr Cubic and the US Mail. Looks like it'll be staying at the office for the time being though, as the wife's not too keen on it. Philistine!

Shepard Fairey does Orwell

Obey mastermind Shepard Fairey has put together these covers for the latest editions of George Orwell's classic totalitarian tales, 1984 and Animal Farm. The covers are very well put together and capture the mood of the books perfectly, and will hopefully go some way towards drawing more attention to Orwell's work from current generations. A bit of Orwell's always worth a read!

These new editions should be available soon at www.penguinbooks.co.uk
