Mike Giant  
I was reminded today how hard Mike Giant represents. I fully dig all the black line work he does. The guy is also super down for bike culture. Prints are available at his website. Also check out the wealth of dope tattoo flash and other prints he has for sale. Seriously sick style.

Skull Phony  

Street artist SkullPhone successfully allowed many in the public and the media to think his latest "advertising campaign", (pictured below) was a high-tech hijack of media company ClearChannel's digital billboards. The blogging community and even some major newspapers covered the story believing this. When in reality this Los Angeles area blitz was nothing more than a paid for publicity stunt.

British Invasion  

trackhype.com

Apparently, "stripped-back cycles popular with couriers are taking London by storm." The Guardian style correspondent, Alice Fisher in her article, "No brakes, no gears: the latest bike craze", attributes fixed gear culture's origins to the Caribbean immigrants who plied their skills as bicycle couriers in New York city during the 1980's. Although Fisher points out urban cycling isn't without it's inherent dangers, exemplified by the death of experienced cyclist Matthew Manger-Lynch in a Chicago Alleycat, the popularity of fixed cycling is nevertheless a socially responsible and fashionable trend.

Check out the Guardian article here.

Surf Gaza

There is a documentary in the works that follows two groups of surfers; one of Israeli Jews and one of Muslim Palestinians through Gaza and Israel. It is called God Went Surfing With the Devil. It looks promising. The director has a nice photo page documenting the making.
