Lazy x Darbotz x Ubiq eL

Artists Lazy and Darbotz worked on a custom Ubiq eL, something one does not come across too often. The end result is impressive. Darbotz worked on the drawings on the case as well as the inner sole screen print and Lazy worked on the carvings on the strap, which turned out to look similar to a laser graphic.

The shoes will be available at Know It Nothing in Singapore. Have a detailed look at them

i love these.

allegedly, there's been this guy buying vintage unds jordans on ebay.

then he's been restoring them and doctoring them to look like PE's, promo's, rare air's etc.

it's a very good read with some amazing in's and out's, all with big cash being thrown around.

Parallel Strokes is a collection of interviews with twenty-plus contemporary

relate in the wider context of lettering.

Interviews within include conversations with pan-European type design
collective Underware, Japanese type designer Akira Kobayashi, American
graffiti writer and fine artist Barry McGee/Twist, German graffiti writers
Daim and Seak, American lettering artist, graphic designer and design

approved and illicit.

letterforms while showcasing a lifetime of type design work. European
graffiti writers Daim, Seak, and Delta share their thoughts on dimensional
graffiti lettering while American graffiti writer Mike Giant talks about

supplementary illustrations and photographs detailing contemporary and
