Local Art.

Here's a couple pics from a trip I took to Toronto a few weekends ago with Mark (Deus' other half). Their from an alley about 2 blocks long between Queen and Richmond. The art back there is awsome and it changes pretty much every time you go down there. As far as I know the city does a bit of painting every so often so that new works can be done all the time. Pretty sick! We got a couple panoramics as well which will be posted in a couple days.

Also, dont forget about the Design Hope event this Friday starting at 7!

WTaps.

Japanese street brand WTAPS (pronounced "double taps") has just released a new pair of denim from their F/W 2008 series. Featuring some really nice details such as patches, special tags and strategic aging/holes, these jeans are serious. Available at http://www.cliffedge.co.jp/

Design Hope.

Design Hope is a local (Hamilton area) organization created to help raise funds for the local churches who feed and shelter the homeless throughout the winter months. My grandmother is a huge contributor of her time and money to this organization as well as the program it supports, which is called Out of the Cold, and I wanted to throw this up on the blog to see if I can get any of the local young generation to come out and show some support. There will be an Art and Music Event held at 270 Sherman St. N on Friday December 5 at 7pm which is DH's annual fund raiser. Parking is free and there is a $10 cover (or what you can) as well as an art auction, benefit cd's for sale and raffle tickets for the donated art. Check out the site here: http://www.designhope.ca/ Preview the art, donate (if you cant make it out) and check out who worked on the CD. Do your best to get out!

Snow.

Well, we got our first snow here today in Southern Ontario.....took the puppy out to play around for a bit since it was his first real time in the snow. He seems to be a fan.

And a random shot:

And finally for the clothing related news.....Watch for DXM and the upcoming release at Boredem Skate located at 419 Dundas St. East Waterdown, Ontario. Stoked!!!

Black Milk.

Ok I am going to try and do a new album of the day or week as often as possible from now on out. First artist up is Black Milk, a Detroit native who has worked with some serious artists in the past including the great Jay Dee (aka J Dilla). He just dropped his new album Tronic a couple weeks ago and Ive been listening to it pretty much non-stop for three nights now. Make sure you go out and buy the album and check his Myspace here: http://www.myspace.com/blackmk for some samples! (Bounce and Losing Out will give best results)

Hundreds.

Be sure to check out the new Hundreds Holiday collection that just dropped here: www.thehundreds.com

Porter.

Featuring contrasting cream and dark leather colour scheme, these bags are modeled after the class US postman bags. These would make a pretty sick DJ/laptop/school bag!

Louis.

Louis Vuitton has just released two new sneakers in celebration of the re-opening of their Omotesando store in Japan. Appearing to be modeled after the classic Vans Sk8-His and Los, both feature the classic LV monogram print with the print on the Hi done in denim. A little more classy than your everyday Vans!

New.

New ish available now at http://www.deusexmachinaclothing.com/ Check it out!

Clae.

Featuring ultra-clean styles and crisp colour-ways, Clae footwear has just released their Holiday 2008 collection. After taking a short hiatus, Clae has come back with some serious quality footwear very mature yet stylish designs. The Holiday collection will be available online and at select retailers such as Undefeated, Union and Barney's NYC.
