Speakin’ of planes….I just got laced up with swag from the fellas over at Milliyon. They’re definitely a brand for those in the know and their shirt designs are definitely on point. What I like about these three shirts are the messages they relay simply because they’re deep and not on some cookie cutter type shit. So here’s my top three picks: The first one is called, “Money on my Mind” and the design is slick and pretty self explanatory. The second tee is, “Who is Ian Cameron?”. This shirt is dedicated to the Chief designer for Rolls Royce and it speaks volumes about the powers behind the brand as well as what we really know as consumers –  when it comes to the brands we hold in high regards. The third shirt is called, “Out of this World”, and the design on this tee relays the simple message that those who have made their mark in this world usually think out of the box and…..out of this world. Good stuff….stay on it.

Another color way of “Money on my Mind” and another dope ass design for “Brookyln’s Finest”. Milliyon…get familiar.

Headed out to Vegas for the day to meet with a few out of town guests and it was a trip to think that we got to Vegas in a shorter amount of time than it would take me to get to the office on a Monday morning. Needles to say, we landed, handled some business, shot the shit, ate like four times and then shot back.

Check the gold fixtures in the plane? LOL. Now that’s some old school G shit right there and of course the plane was packed with chips, cookies and all the essentials.

Big George Lion always in model mode. LOL. Me…yeah….I keep it casual.

What was up with yesterday’s weather? Clouds, heat, thunder and no rain? Definitely “earthquake” type weather.

Spent most of yesterday running around and doing interviews on the run and it turned out to be a pretty interesting day. I got one of our bigger interviews done for Bound By Ink and when you see what we’ve got planned it’s gonna definitely mess with your head because his art is flat out apocalyptic and insane. On another note, now that it’s getting darker earlier it’s also giving me a new burst of energy and whereas most people get lazy when the sun goes down it makes me wanna work harder. Here’s a few flicks from yesterday…..enjoy.

I know this is a Hamann body kit on the G-Wagen but it’s definitely not my cup of tea. And the addition of the extra bottom lip? Really not feelin’ it….but he gets an A for originality.

Later that night I went over to Radio Shack and ran into Manan and we shot the shit about all kinds of random shit including past features, future features, the fakeness, the realness and all kinds of crazy shit. Ha ha ha….small world….that’s all I gotta say and we got some stuff planned.

Would you hop the gate knowing this bully was waiting for you? Didn’t think so.

At first glance this looks like nuclear slime dumped on top of french fries but if you haven’t already tried guacamole fries from J&S over in Montebello then you’re missing out. Trust me. These fries are the business and so are their special quesadillas, bean burritos and breakfast burritos.  They’re open 24 hours and it’s the perfect after clubbing spot to hit up so here’s the addy…….J&S  |  887 N. Garfield Avenue  |  Montebello, CA  |  90640

Here’s a sneak peek into a BMW 6-Series interior revamp. When the homies done with his car he’s gonna clown simply because he gutted the complete and full interior. Again….this is not just a partial rewrap but a full blown project that’ll set the benchmark when it comes to wildin’ out.

Check the attention to detail and look how perfectly the stitches are perfectly aligned. Of course another Top Stitch custom “Gold Label RNS” project. (more…)

When it comes to food presentation this has to one of the most OG I’ve seen. At first, I was wondering why they brought over just a big ass loaf of bread up until they peeled the top back. Inside, there was something for everyone including lamb chops, chicken, beef, kabos, porkchops and the best part about it all was all the juices that soaked up into the bread. Golden Fork….a definite winner.

When Kittiwat Unarrom had a dream of making dough I’m sure his parents weren’t thinking anywhere along these lines of this. This artist/ baker from Thailand found an ingenious way to design his own bread that’ll leave you in stitches and whereas most bakers make cute, little fluffy pieces of bread, Kittiwat found a way to sculpt and paint dough into dead on duplicates of human body parts. From legs, arms, limbs to noses and ears, his bakery shop has just about everything including aged and decapitated heads. So do they look real? Watch the video and you’ll find out soon enough.

A few weeks back we were out in Vegas and as we were about to leave we saw Larry Flynt’s jet being packed, boarded and getting ready for departure. This is the first time I’ve seen a black jet and of course the LFP on the tail stands for “Larry Flynt Publications.”

If you’re a big fan of silver and jewelry from Chrome Hearts then you’re going to trip when you see this. This is a very rare and limited (actually it might be a one off) Chrome  Hearts toilet plunger. Yup…that’s right, a Chrome Hearts toilet plunger. Ha ha ha. When my boy P told me that the owner gave this to him as a gift I couldn’t believe it so I had to go the the restroom to see it form myself and there it was posted in all its glory. The plunger sports the mandatory Chrome Hearts signage and logo up top and the handle is made of ebony. (more…)

When I was watching the video and he  jumped in the water, I had the urge to jump in and save him his ass. LOL.

After watching this video you can’t help but think and wonder why the fuck  you’d be worried about anything in life. Nick Vujicic’s attitude is amazing and he’s not only an inspiration to so many but a motivational speaker with a great sense of humor. His videos and programs are definitely pieces to watch if you’re down and out and on the reals, God couldn’t have chosen a better person to be born without arms and legs because this guys breaking barriers and definitely teaching others to realize their full potential.

This weekend was chaotic and at one point it seemed as if it was never going to end. From shoots, to interviews, shows, all the way to get togethers and random outings, this past weekend was straight retarded and I’m actually glad it’s over. The good things is I had a chance to catch up with good friends, shoot the shit with some of the homies, grab a movie with my sister and I also got quite a bit of shit done.

Of course now that Summer is “officially” over it’s been scorching hot and yesterday was seriously no joke. I got a phone camera pic of the temperature reading 118 degrees and todays supposed to be pretty retarded as well so stay hydrated and stay cool. As for me, I’ll be out in Downtown getting the last of BBI taken care of and from there it’s off the Valley where it’ll easily be in the 100′s once again.

Walt’s M6 sittin’ pretty over in Manhattan Beach.

Random flick at the S. Social Club

Check out this Audi A8 panel that just got wrapped. From the quality of the leather to the spacing and quality of the stitch it seriously just doesn’t get any better. I’ll have more pics from this project up in a bit and you already know who did it. LOL. (more…)

My sister bought tickets to Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps, and to be honest I was geeked the fuck out to go. The last time I remember being that excited for any movie was probably way back when Star Wars or E.T. was first released (and that was ages ago) but Wall Street 2 was definitely a good follow up that touched on the basics of greed, the global recession as well as the potential for change. Sure it doesn’t match up to the original but there was definitely some great dialog as well as great quotes that are sure to be epic for many – and one that’ll become a banner on my blog for sure. As for the cast, I think they did a damn good job – especially with the Eli Wallach (the whistling old man) – and the only one that was questionable was the lead chick Carey Mulligan who was kinda busted and looked like a 14-year old little league boy. Other than that I can’t wait to add this to the Blu-Ray collection and if you have time be sure to check it out.
