KIKS TYO – Sneaker Mosaic “Bob Marley” T-Shirt

Posted: 05 Jul 2012 03:00 AM PDT

KIKS TYO   Sneaker Mosaic Bob Marley T ShirtIt is interesting how our eyes and brain perceive an image. The Sneaker Mosaic series capitalizes on the fact that our eyes can distinguish images from a collage of colors. In this case, the calculated position of sneakers makes up an image of the legendary reggae singer, Bob Marley. From afar, the photo of Marley is easily recognizable; however, as you get close to the front graphic on the t-shirt, it becomes evident that this photo is indeed a compilation of hundreds of sneakers. The t-shirt is available in white, black, red, and olive city green versions from KIKS TYO retail store and online shop.

Apple iPhone 5   Concept Rendering  | By CiccareseDesign

Similar to the cottage industry of the old, there’s been a steady growth of designers conceptualize technical gadgetry from the near future. This is especially true since Apple introduced its iPhone to the masses five years ago. While most are just run-of-the-mill renderings or gags by pranksters, a few, like Federico Ciccarese of Ciccarese Design, executed their concepts as works of art. Retained by MacRumors, a top gossip blog pertaining to all that is Apple, Ciccarese Design drew up a rendering based on all purported details about the upcoming iPhone 5 – the 19-Pin connector, the larger 4.08″ 16:9 display, even the new Apple Maps within iOS 6. To add a hint of realism, it even added a side-by-side comparison with the current iPhone 4S. In the meantime, according to the latest rumor, Apple might push up the launch of iPhone 5 to August/September in order to minimize the impact of Samsung’s new Galaxy S III on the market.

Alessandro Zuek Simonetti   IL Clan del Wu Book

New York based Italian photographer Alessandro Zuek Simonetti has set out to capture the essence of the Wu-Tang Clan at their reunion concert back in 2010. The monochromatic images are energetic, yet serene, and one can almost hear the crowd screaming “Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang” at the top of their voice, as they throw up the W in the air, with their bare hands. This mini-book is self-published by Simonetti, and the 96 page zine-like book is packed with 48 high quality images of the legendary group. Only 1000 copies are printed, and it is currently available at The Standard online shop and participating hotel gift shops.
