APPLE OBSESSED?

Well, if you are- you'll enjoy this Apple Bike by Jake Foley. 

The concept bike makes use of kinetic energy to generate an electrical charge that propels the bike. It even has plugins for Apple accessories and is "eco minded".

Cool? I suppose so.  

THE SIMPSONS vs. JUSTICE

Could it be possible? 

mmm... chocolate

IT ALL STARTED WITH A GERM

The Darby Crash movie dug up fond memories of 40's in the woods and dirty punk rock. 

The late Darby Crash is played by Shane West- who is now actually a part of the band in real time. The self mutilation, the violence, the brilliance that was Darby Crash and the germs is best told and played by the cast of What We Do is Secret. 

Watch the movie here! 

THEN

THINKCONTRA.COM

Stop thinking, start THINKING.

Contra is a bi-monthly web publication based out of Toronto exploring ideas, people and culture.

It's about being creative, independent, vocal and opening dialogue through photography, illustrations and design. 

If music, art, culture, fashion, photography or just being bored is where you're at- you need some Contra. 

 

MODERN DOG

I'm not talking Snopp. 

Modern Dog Design Co. a seattle based design company chalk full of advertising (poster) goodness. 

If you're much for the indie scene or the 90's grunge rock explosion, you'll recognize a great deal of poster design for artists you know and love. From Cursive, You will know us by the trial of the dead, The Wrens, The Hives, Sonic Youth and even Bad Religion. All the posters are such a perfect balance of vector, rasterized images and original artwork that you could only dream of achieving. 

On your way to the posters you'll stumble across a fabulous C.S Lewis quote: 

"Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it." 

Chew on that, it tastes good.

So does this.
