For those of you that don’t know your blogs from your clogs, there are a ton of really good people posting out there that aren’t esp! So once you’ve got your daily dose of our visuals, check these gems out:
Skate Blogs:
The Berrics Steve Berra & Eric Koston’s skate blog. Tricks & tips, instant hilarity and some tips on how to survive in the city (see Butteryass Mondays section).
vbs.tv amongst all the trendy stuff there is some good interviews with skateboarders, look for the Epicly Later’d section in the sports tab (Dustin Dollin is worth a look at).
Photography:
Alex Bartsch has been mentioned on here before, but I think needs another shout here. Unique photography of his experiences in London and abroad, with the odd review of films too.
Roses are red, Rachel Cuccia’s blog. I was put onto this by Revok, who had a link from his blog. An unbelievably attractive lady with hot and stylish friends from NYC. Fashion orientated.
Victor Vauthier, a friend of mine from east london with his account of life and ladies. Nice fashion blog with some lifestyle shots too.
Graffiti:
Revok‘s blog. One of graffiti’s modern day giants. A look into the mighty MSK’s glamorous lifestyle. Amazingly good.
12oz Prophet, this is a bunch of writers hub for their blogs including: Grotesk, Earsnot, 123Klan, Bates, and KR to name a few. Not everyone updates often, but well worth a look.
Graff London, a rags to riches graff blog. The updated version is much easier to navigate, good source of british graff news.
Music:
Stoner Rock. The best site for metal & rock music period. Streamed music, gig reviews, interviews, photos, downloads, so good.
Depressive Black Metal: Listings of most Black Metal albums out there, new and old. This one is for the serious black metal fan.
Certified Banger, though it’s not really my cup of tea, this blog has all the latest on all new UK hip Hop releases.

Originally from the Metroid Prime game on Nintendo, the special thing about this Phazon Suit Samus Aran is that it contains 25 separate LED’s to give you the full effect of the Phazon armour! Very cool! However, with a release slated for early July and retailing for £200 +, it is a very expensive toy. However, turn off the light and see your toy glow, reflected in the mirror base and you will probably feel that the price was worth it…

The Dekotora or Art truck is a kind of loudly decorated truck most commonly found in Japan, Pakistan and the Philippines. Dekotora commonly have neon or ultraviolet lights, extravagant paints, and shiny stainless or golden exterior parts. These decorations can be found on both the cab and the trailer, and not only on the exterior but also in the interior. Dekotora may be created by workers out of their work trucks for fun, or they may be designed by hobbyists for special events. This is serious customisation!!
I will be doing a post on Pakistani trucks and Phillipino trucks soon.
Adan Banuelos is a Tucson-based artist and designer working in multiple mediums, from drawing to sculpting to screen-printing and everything in between.
Childhood In The Gallery

Banuelos’ art is a realm where squirt guns, candy and sneakers can mingle with brass knuckles, switch blades and low-riders. Says Banuelos, “My artwork is mainly inspired from childhood memories. I like to analyze emotions and desires as they evolve from childhood, through adolescence, and into adulthood.”
His Father’s Son

When asked who he most looks up to in the art world, Banuelos proudly says his father. His dad, an immigrant from Mexico, might’ve had a huge impact on Banuelos’ style but he never became a full time artist; he’s a janitor. Says Banuelos: “My dad was, and still is, a very talented, self-taught muralist and sign maker. He always had side jobs and spent most his free time in the garage and job sites. I loved watching him paint. I learned a lot about lettering and composition.”
Great Art By Design

It’s no accident that the design acumen of Banuelos’ paintings, sculptures and T-shirts is a cut above the rest; after years of art school under his belt, Banuelos now works for CreativeMachines.comdesigning and fabricating museum exhibits. He welds, does wood working and crafts machine parts for
exhibits that have been seen in museums all over the world, from Norway to Egypt to New York and even his native Tucson.
You can see more of Adan Banuelos’ work at his profile on ARTST and on his website, AdanBanuelos.wordpress.com.
