It's Time to Say Goodbye...

After almost two years at Studio One Tattoo, I am leaving to pursue art, life, and happiness elsewhere. Thank you to all my friends and loyal customers who have shown me a great time. You will be missed. I'm thankful for working with some great guys who have made me laugh and taught me a lot during my stay. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Paul the owner, who has been more than generous, and will always be a great friend. I am sure that I will continue to keep in contact with some of the guys from the shop, and hope the future holds nothing but success for them. Good luck boys, I'm out.

The Natural Speaker by Joon&Jung

Posted: 06 Sep 2011 07:03 AM PDT

Nowadays, everything handcrafted will get huge demand & popularity such as the Natural Speaker by Joon&Jung. The idea for the 'the natural speaker' derived from the desire to create an absolutely unique, handcrafted speaker that transmit mellow sound with natural resonance, resembling the distinct flair of an acoustic instrument right in front of you.

While a lot of speakers are constructed to produce a rather fat bass and sharp high tones, the sound was kind of stuck inside the speakers, missing a natural vibe and ambiance. The Natural Speaker used of ceramic & wood properties as the speaker casing, the sound is amplified inside and gains a slight echo, creating a balanced mid-tone sound and natural feeling for music.

Fokis/Atomik Graf Production...

I've found some photos on google of a wall that Fokis LTS and I had done about 12 years ago in Charlotte, NC. Fokis is from Cali, and we met while he was visiting NC and I was visiting from Pittsburgh. We quickly became good friends and had a great time hanging out and painting together. His style influenced me a lot, and I'm grateful for having the opportunity to destroy some walls with him!

I don't know who took these photos, or why, but they show us in the process of painting a graveyard scene production. I remember Fokis telling me that we had to paint our pieces huge, and it was so out of my normal style because where I grew up we learned to paint on a smaller scale. Whoever took these photos blurred out our faces, which I think is funny, but anyways, I appreciate them posting these pics!

This is a mixed medea piece that Fokis gave me when I left Charlotte, and will always be one of my favorites. We had a rad time hanging out, and have lots of stories from that short amount of time. I hope to hang out with him again sometime soon

SHELL Compact Digital Scale by JosphJoseph

Posted: 05 Sep 2011 04:46 PM PDT

Love this SHELL compact digital scale found from JosephJoseph website that is both practical and versatile. Lift off the integrated measuring bowl to reveal a large, easy-to-read LCD display and simple controls. Rest the upturned bowl on the unit and it's ready to weigh both liquids and dry foods. A convenient 'add and weigh' function allows multiple ingredients to be weighed in the same bowl during recipe preparation and an auto power-off feature maximizes battery life.

They are Toast It- a toast-shaped cork comes packaged like a loaf of multigrain bread and is designed to be used as coasters and trivets. Designed by Patricia Naves for her own studio Oiti. Toast It Coaster is part of the MoMA store spring collection.
