Adidas Skate & Create
By John H Lee | August 24, 2010 | 0
HOW THIS WORKS:
The four teams are made up of a total of six skaters—four pros and two ams.
Each team is given nine days in a warehouse with the same set of obstacles.
Each team is allowed one art director on site.
Each team is assigned one TWS photographer to shoot a feature article for the magazine.
Each team is allowed a film crew to produce a video for skateboarding.com.
The final photo and video product is judged by the TWS edit staff (minus S&C coordinators Skin Phillips and Josh Brooks) on the level of skating, creativity, the use of obstacles, and overall image and video quality.
The winner gets the cover of the magazine and will have a spot reserved in Skate & Create 2011.
Here is Adidas’ version.

Davide Zucco has been in the trenches of Italy’s contemporary art scene for some time, paying his dues, and exhibiting all over Europe from his home base of Venice. He is currently in New York working on several projects. We’ll keep you up to date on any new shows coming up in New York. Zucco is definitely one to watch. He has a fluid narrative style so different from most of the styles that are de rigeur with street and contemporary artists working today.
Check out more of his work here.

This is so brilliant. Do you think Zooey Deschanel (She & Him) thinks she sounds like this when she sings? Probably. Annie Clark showing folks how it should be done.

Bear Cappuccino was created in a small cafe in my hometown Kumamoto, Japan.
It gave me a smile and comfort in the rainy day.

We got an email recently from art director / designer Kumi Hayase, and she pointed us to a gallery of images about food that we wanted to share with you. Warning: Makes you hungry just by looking at the screen.
There is a smile face on the bottom of the salad bowl.

A little piece of Mentaiko, marinated roe of pollock, is one of the best friends of white rice.
This is my favorite hometown taste that I always love.
