Friend, Redef collaborator, and the illest designer you know, Jared(aka J3 Concepts) was recently featured at the Vancouver Premium Toy Show. Above are some of his works and collaborations with other artists including Vancouver’s Camilla D’Erico from the show. Check out more HERE.

Well….It’s 9:45pm on November 15th and this is my first witnessed snowfall of the year. It has begun…

Drive safe tonight.

Being couped up in the house with an iron ball and chain of work attached to you has some advantages; including getting caught up on my favourite blogs. Inqmnd’s Avi Gold and Kevin Marzo collaborate on my favourite food blog and an overall dope read The Taste Buds. Warning: If you’re hungry and click this link I take no responsibility in any wreckless spending and/or overindulgence on a delicious meal or twenty.

Anybody growing up in Canada is familiar with MuchMusic and probably knows who Nardwuar is. Whether you changed the channel due to his avant garde interview approach, or appreciated his antics with your favourite artist; you recognize his face. But do you recognize his skills? I know I deserve a late pass on the NERD interview but the interaction between Nardwuar and Pharrell is priceless. Nardwuar’s ability to completely stun Pharrell and take him out of his element is astonishing. To be considered “second to none” as an interviewer by someone who is interviewed daily in different lifestyle aspects is quite the accomplishment. We can all learn from Nardwuar; by not being afraid to be ourselves and striving to be the best at what we love, our hard work and diversity will eventually be recognized.

First of all I would like to introduce you to my new mistress, beautiful isn’t she?Haha. RIP to my curve, I loved you and all, but you just didn’t perform like you used to.

I’m sorry for the lack of updates, school has been kicking my ass. So unless anyone would like to read about Microsoft’s lack of end user marketing and the emergence of Apple as a major market competitor, I apologize. I promise that I will still try and update at least once daily in the upcoming weeks, however I still ask for your patience as I am focused on three papers, a business plan, and two presentations due before the end of November. If anyone would like to volunteer their time and effort to complete one of these assignments don’t hesitate to contact me. Actually, please contact me because I’ve been couped up in my house staring at a blank word document for a while now. Anyways, last month was the highest increase in visitors and I feel like I’ve been letting everyone down,but I promise I will be back with more posts and a bunch of new ish that has been in the works.

Not sure if this is the official video but I believe it is able to capture the essence of the track and the relationship of Kanye and his ex-fiancee. Can’t get her to feature in the video? Draw a cartoon of her to tell the story.

To my American colleagues,

No you can’t vote for Mos as the next leader of the free world. However, you need to make sure that you go vote on Tuesday. *Cough* OBAMA *Cough*

My personal favourite site on the internet and friends INQMND have released their fall Buyer’s Buyble. The product’s are dope and the visuals are nothing short of incredible. Mikey, Greg and the team; you guys never cease to amaze me.

The other night Little Brother buried the stage at the Mod Club in Toronto. I’ve been to some amazing shows this year but this will be remembered. The energy of Phonte on stage is amazing, and his love for the music is inspiring. At the end of the show, ‘Te had a lot to express about the upcoming election and Obama. As an avid Obama supporter we snapped a pic of Tigallo with the Ideall Clothing ‘Obama TIME’ tee. It was a great show and great seeing LB again back in Toronto, they are two of the most down to earth individuals you can ever converse with. Also, whattup to my dude Langston Walker of the Buffalo Bills, who was also in the building and congratulations on another big win.

Today I came across a new track from one of the nicest/realest people I’ve met in the industry Evidence featuring Phonte, Blu, and Will.I.Am entitled “For Whom the Bell Tolls”.

Last night the U.S. presidential candidates were part of a political roast for the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner. Obama’s speech was comical, and yet inspiring. Enjoy.

“My greatest strength is my humility. My Greatest weakness is possibly that I am a little too awesome”- Barack Obama
