My friend brad gave me the large painting, it was the first piece of art he bought when he moved to new York, recently he moved to Tribeca and decided he had outgrown it and gave it to me. Its called “Girl With Ginger

GET WASTED save the planet: Heineken re-useable Bottles, drink up and build something pretty

These Darlings can be used as bricks to build structures

Mr. Heineken’s idea came after a visit to the Caribbean where he saw
two problems: beaches littered with bottles and a lack of affordable
building materials. The WOBO became his vision to solve both the
recycling and housing challenges that he had witnessed on the islands.

The final WOBO design came in two sizes – 350 and 500 mm versions
that were meant to lay horizontally, interlock and layout in the same
manner as ‘brick and mortar’ construction. One production run in 1963
yielded 100,000 bottles some of which were used to build a small shed
on Mr. Heineken’s estate in Noordwijk, Netherlands. One of the
construction challenges “was to find a way in which corners and
openings could be made without cutting bottles,” said Mr. Habraken.

Despite the success of the first “world bottle” project, the
Heineken brewery didn’t support the WOBO and the idea stalled. Interest
was reignited in 1975 when Martin Pawley published Garbage Housing
which included the chapter ‘WOBO: a new kind of message in a bottle.’
Heineken once again approached Habraken who teamed up with designer
Rinus van den Berg and designed a building with oil drums for columns,
Volkswagen bus tops for roof and the WOBO bottles for walls, but the
structure was never built.

Today, the shed at the Heineken estate and a wall made of WOBO at
the Heineken Museum in Amsterdam are the only structures where the
‘beer brick’ was used. As to the remaining WOBO’s it’s not clear how
many exist, or where, but the idea, even some four decades later,
remains a lasting example in end-use innovation.

Satchel of Gravel: Do it yourself Streetwear Company Parody makes me laugh so hard I threw up on your all over print, OHHH art.. CheekyStitch Streetwearblog, Cheelystitch Craft blog

Satchel of gravel makes me smile for all sorts of reasons but this was how i fell in love with them

Thats right kids, DIY streetwear below

Well take off that all over polka dot New Era fitted and loosen your
bandana because we’re going to show you how to get PAID, by starting
you own streetwear label in 10 easy steps.

1. Come up with an ironic name that only you and your immediate
circle of friends will get. This way, when you “blow up” you can talk
about the roots of the name in blog interviews.

2. Create a logo. Or even better, just re-appropriate someone
else’s. Go through your collection of mid-90s rap CDs, find the ones
that made you feel extra tough in front of your bedroom mirror and jack
the artist’s font. If you’re really not trying to do all that, then
just use one of the songs you like. Practically the whole streetwear
scene has gotten their brand identity this way.

3. Create a website. It’s important that you do this BEFORE you
actually have any product. This way, you can get people hyped about the
debut of your line (which reminds me, our new line of tees will be
dropping soon.) Promote the hell out of it by creating multiple account
names on popular street wear blogs and the making multiple posts about
your brand.
