Moleskine in the backpocket!

This past November, The MoMA opened a retrospective honoring the art of acclaimed director Tim Burton. As a further tribute to the director, a custom 2010 weekly planner was published by Moleskine. The books feature Tim Burton’s signature and the MoMA logo embossed on the cover along with a unique paperband featuring the names of several of Burton’s films. These titles are set atop images of one of Burton’s earliest characters, Vincent, the star of a 1982 short film created in collaboration with Rick Heinrichs. The exhibition runs through April 26, 2010 at The MoMA.

A naked lady on the back would nice.

Steve Canyon would proud of this pack. Heritage Research worked with Eastman Leather Clothing on this WWII inspired “aviator pack” which consists of A-2 flying jacket, an Aviators Kit Bag and USAAF aircrew gloves; all of which are made in England. “The Aviators Kit Bag is made from 100% cotton OD canvas, this is an exact copy of the original WWII USAAF aviators kit bag, It is fastened by way of two sprung chevron Crown zippers, that meet at the top, with a further closure flap with press-studs. The A-10 glove was issued to all USAAF aircrew and is made from a supple Goatskin leather and lined with a fine wool knit.” And finally, the  A-2 jacket is an exact of the original made from beautiful vegetable tanned American Steerhide.”

Africa Unite! I had the pleasure of meeting both Kehinde Wiley & David LaChapelle in Miami for Art Basel ’09. We ended partying and drinking.

Artist Kehinde Wiley and PUMA helped commemorate the Africa Cup of Nations 2010 through a series of art works and products culminating with the PUMA Africa Unity Kit. In a video capturing the background of the project, the American artist took a trip to Africa to gather inspiration and converse with some of Africa’s biggest footballing superstars, Samuel Eto’o, Emmanuel Eboué and John Mensah. A compelling aspect of the journey includes a look into the methods that traditional African patterns are created as well as strong aspects of Africa’s landscape such as music. The final for the Africa Cup of Nations 2010 will conclude on January 31st, 2010 featuring Ghana and Egypt.
