Modern Artisans Features Shoe Maker Sebastian Tarek (6 Pics)



    For you regular viewers of the blog you know that I am all about handmade goods.  Occasionally while I'm scouring the interweb looking for interesting, unusual things for you to peep I come across something special. This Modern Artisans video featuring the shoe making skills of Sebastian Tarek struck me as something worth a solid look.  
    There is value beyond the mere monetary purchase of a handmade item, in this case shoes.  Quality, handmade goods take on a soul, a piece of the craftsman that made them and a piece of the person that cherishes them.  Fathoms away from the assembly lines of over produced under constructed shoes, Sebastian Tarek's handmade footwear finds a warm home in today's modern closet.

Artist David Choe Paints Facebook Office Becomes A Millionaire



Artist David Choe went on Howard Stern to talk about his recent financial windfall.  Several years ago David was commissioned to paint the old Facebook office walls with his graffiti inspired art.  He was offered $60,000 or stock (this is waaay before Facebook became the monster that it is today).  David passed on the $60k for some reason and opted for the stock options.  Fast forward several years to today and David made a damn good choice picking the stock options because he's sitting on over $200 Million of cold hard bones or clams.  Well done sir!  Talented and lucky... care to share?  I could use a milli.

Art By Herakut (17 Pics)


Colab artists Akut and Hera are two graffiti street artists from Germany that teamed up to form Herakut. Colabing is not something you see very often from artists, usually they are solitary creatures that prefer not to do the boy band super group get together and paint.  However, Herakut clicks and the two of them together seems almost meant to be, kind of like Crosby, Stills, and Nash. 

Gratuitous Bikini Model Video: How To Wax A Snowboard (4 Pics)



If we actually receive some natural snow fall this year you might actually get to use the skills you're about to learn from watching this week's gratuitous bikini model video featuring model Julia courtesy of EyeHandy.  I recommend waxing your snowboard with a friend... it's always better when you have a partner.  If you notice chaffing or discomfort you may be waxing your board too much.
