DC Artist Project

The design for the project was inspired by SSUR’s Russian heritage with a New York twist. Drawing colors and detailing from traditional Russian porcelain pieces, SSUR’s Artist Projects™ shoe features floral patterns and nude women around the shoes’ heel panels. The custom designed clear soles feature Coney Island’s famous Ferris wheel on one shoe and SSUR’s pirate ship imagery on the other.

I think these look too nice to skate in...

EMBRACE YOUR INNER NINJA

Ninja Tacks Make You Look Like Secret Shuriken-Throwing Master

This concept from designers Chromoly would be perfect if your boss is the pushy type, and you fancy unsettling them a bit: notice-board tacks shaped like Ninja throwing-stars. Just make sure you scream loudly and jam one in the wall near the door before they walk in, and voila: instant respect. Shame it's just a concept: I've been practicing my shout already. [Designboom]

LOOK MA, NO HANDS! OH WAIT...

The Handwrench Tightens Nuts and Pinches Butts

The Handwrench concept by designer Paul Julius Martus has been around for some time, but it has only recently been unearthed to creep us out and pose the question: what is this thing's primary function? Is it a tool, a long distance pincher of asses, or is it a overly masculine way to indicate penis size? Unfortunately, we may never know the truth. [Coroflot via Core77]

CHECK THE TIME, BREAK YO NECK

Gigantic, Ceiling-Sized Digital Clock Threatens to Crush You with Time

Do you ever feel like time is hanging over your head, adding apprehension and dread to your life? Like it could just crash down and kill you at any moment? Like time has an annoying buzz to it and that it throws a harsh, flat light? Either you have OCD or you've got one of these gigantic, florescent digital clocks hanging on your ceiling.

The clock, an art project by Realities United, is only two digits, so it can only show time in minutes. If you've got a good sense of what hour it is it shouldn't be too much of a problem, but having to tilt your head back to check the time might get annoying after awhile. Oh well, it certainly looks cool, and that seems to have been the point. [Realities United via New Launches and Core77]

YOUR OWN GLASS BOTTOM

The Transparent Canoe-Kayak.

This kayak-canoe hybrid has a transparent polymer hull that offers paddlers an underwater vista of aquatic wildlife and waterscapes unavailable in conventional boats. Seating two people, the sturdy canoe hull is made of the same durable material found in the cockpit canopies of supersonic fighter jets. Easy to maneuver, the wide canoe displaces a greater amount of water for more surface stability, and the paddlers sit lower to the deck, resulting in better balance. Adjustable seats allow paddlers of different heights to personalize their leg room. With a lightweight anodized aluminum frame, it can be easily stored or transported to and from the water. Includes two double-headed paddles, a water bailer, and two flotation devices. $1600

Not bad...for The GAP

Whitney Artist T-Shirts

In celebration of the Whitney Museum of American Art's Biennial, Gap has teamed up with some of the museum's best-known artists to create a limited-edition line of tees featuring original designs. Available in select stores, Whitney Artist T-Shirts ($28) boast designs from the likes of Chuck Close, Barbara Kruger, Jeff Koons, Marilyn Minter, and others. Unfortunately, not all (very few of) the designs are available online, so if there's one you're really after, it looks like you're going to have to actually venture outdoors.

Decapitator gets SJP

Famous London street artist, the Decapitator, is on the move again. The Decapitator is known for removing the heads of people in various advertisements including newspapers and billboards. And it seems that this time Sarah Jessica Parker falls victim to the Decapitator's signature murdering style, as she poses headless on a Sex and the City billboard on the streets of London.

sorry K, pretty funny though. Via supertouch

For art directors, by art directors

Mechanics, French Maids, Ballers, and Bowlers. They've always had something that we

GLOW IN THE DARK TEE

Personally, I find BBC/Ice Cream and UNDEFEATED stuff overrated (sorry Joe), but this glow in the dark robot tee is sick.

THE COOL KIDS

The rebirth of fresh is upon us. '80s and early '90s style, positive party vibes, a new school twist. And on top of good music, their designs are just as sweet. Their debut EP "The Bake Sale" is now out, be sure to check out their MySpace page to peep the music and artwork. I highly recommend their first, unreleased album, "Totally Flossed Out"

Joe, don't tell me you like this stuff.

Oliver Goldsmith frames.

French Truckers presents a quick refresh on the Olver Goldsmith Sunglass line. "Oliver Goldsmith is an English brand created in 1926 which saw its heyday in the 60s. At the time, it was represented by the actresses Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn and Sophia Loren. In 2005, Clara Goldsmith, the founder’s granddaughter relaunched the brand using her grandfather’s artistic heritage. Around 30 models were re-released. And this new era came with new icons: Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue, Jude Law, Jessica Simpson and Gwyneth Paltrow all posed for Oliver Goldsmith. And this year, the arrival of designer Brian McGinn (an Irishman? Yes sir!) aims to bring new styles whilst using the know-how and hand crafted 100% British style." Some classic looks representing the present trend in eyewear.

Forget about the automatic Ferrari California, and get something you can really drive.

Bonhams & Butterfields is hosting a sale of exceptional motor cars on August 15th.Among the many grand lots, this Porsche driven by Steve McQueen in the film Le Mans will go on the block. Estimated to sell for 2million, the car is a 1969/70 Porsche Spyder. Quite the auto, and certainly enough to make Jeremy Clarkson jealous. Thanks to Retro to go for the heads up.
