S Double will finally be opening their (online) doors. After seeing images of the line and the Vans collaboration this is something a lot of us have been waiting for. Well, the date will be April 12th at 3pm west coast time, so mark your calendar.

VANS X CARHARTT have teamed up for this collaboration, the suede and ripstop nylon authentic pack are something exciting to look forward to. I know I will be trying to get my hands on a pair.

Wes Lang is having a show at Zieher Smith (516 West 20th St, New york, NY) March 25 to April 24. There is some really rad work there.  I got to check out the opening night, so here are a few pics. Enjoy and go see it for yourself. (all photos were taken with a fisheye lens so they’re wacky)

5 Points, see it, love it, make sure it never goes away.  If your ever in New York City and you love graffiti check this place out.  It has had some of, in my mind, the most well done pieces this side of the state (America).  I stop by here whenever I’m in town to see how it has changed.  Some trips it’s totally different some trips there are 5 or 6 new pieces.  Whenever I go I bring my camera and always leave with a few nice flix and a huge smile!  just make sure you don’t tag anything and respect the neighborhood, they catch a lot of shit for any writing because they have graffiti on the building.  Anyway, point is, check this place out and I want to thank Meres One!

I recently have wanted to get back into an old hobby of mine. Fabrication | Prototype | Modeling. It was even a job once. I pretty much have a rager for details… that is why I love programming so much. It’s all in miniature.

So I started a small toy project. We at OOPM have talked about putting forth some vinyl in the future, but I wanted to stay simple for now. I sat down at my desk and sketched out an idea which flowed into another. The physical process will be happening in the basement of the ‘OOPM South’ office. Sketches below:

Snail Bomb. Slowest suicide bomber in the west. Possible accessories : Cigar or burnt match for mouth. Salt shaker.

Snail Samurai. He has no arms. Possible accessories : Straw hat as in Big Trouble, Little China. Baby cart.

Here is the quick summary. As I get closer to completing each step I will document them in detail. The materials for the master fabrication will be a mixture of Super Sculpey which is a heat hardened acrylic based clay and Kneadatite [or green stuff] which is a solid two part epoxy. I can get by doing 90% with Sculpey, I will use the Kneadatite for details and texture. Looking at the sketches I can tell that they have to be multiple pieces. The Daisho, fuses, any other little accessories will have to be cast separately. I will be setting the mold with silicon and casting in 2 part resin. Due to the heat from the resin curing I may only get about 8 to 10 before the mold burns up. Painting with acrylic or possibly white primer for customization. I want to put together packaging but that is so far away I have not really thought of design. Either way they will be special gifts for us four and friends of Out of Print.

Any questions? Hit up the comments. Stay slow! BFM.

This is something that in one form or another me and the boys of oopm have talked about. The city of philadelphia has 1 mini golf corse, its only open when its nice out….. We have talked about a indoor mini golf cores and when I came across this today it reminded me of that…….. Any way this Mini Golf Club By the La Bolleur is amazing, it was done for the dutch design week 09. “We wanted to do something fun, so we made ourselves a mini golf course!” ~ steie van vugt
