RVCA BJ Penn vs. Phil Frost. Other stuff.

03.02.2010 | Stephan Schaefer | Art, Brands | 1 Comment

Supporting the fine arts like music, painting, high fashion and ass-kicking, California based clothing company RVCA presents their newest t-shirt design in style. Designed by New York über-artist Phil Frost it’s basically the first of it’s kind and shows the cross-over approach of the brand perfectly. And thanks to my sister in Sacramento, CA, I’m wearing it right now. Wowsies.

Tons of inspirational video material that makes you want to quit your job, move to California and spend your time with more usefull stuff like skateboarding, surfing, dancing, playing guitar, painting and training you find HERE.

Cash Machine

I was in the beautiful city of London the other week. My friend introduced me to the best cash machine of all time… you could select the language as ‘English’ or ‘Cockney’. Brilliant, so easy to bring a bit of charm back into banking.

Things that might be interesting (link dump)

Man this site looks abandoned. Seems like we started this for ourselves and that’s how this is gonna end. Anywhoo, trying to inject a little life into this walking corpse of a blog is me. Enjoy.

Pretty sweet song from German band Ms. John Soda HERE.

Samsung and Sprint launch eco-friendly green-phone, announce environmental efforts and donate 2$ of every sold copy to the Nature Conservancy’s Adopt an Acre program. I want one. Via GearLog.

Nikon unveiles the world’s first point-and-shoot digital camera with a built-in digital projector in its body. It’s basically half awesome and half WTF. Could be a solution to all the kids playing crappy loud music with their cellphones in the subway (honestly, whoever came up with the idea to produce cellphones with build-in speakers needs to get punched in the throat). By Mademan.

Documentary 9 to 5 Days in Porn has an awesome website with a lot of footage. If you are a sad, creepy guy with no girlfriend (I know how you feel) go to the movies this weekend.

Our favorite foody and booze-expert over at Beer & Nosh has something going for awkwardly en vogue German beer (obviously) and food (surprisingly). In San Francisco.

If you feel bad because your life sucks or if you are looking for comedy material, go to F* my life and feel better immediately. Honestly, you can’t make stuff like this up, it’s too good.

Fastcompany.com comes up with Six Products That Turn Everyday Chores Into Green Moments - and steal at least two ideas of mine in the process.

Unbelievable: Randy Couture shouldn’t be competing with absolute top notch athletes at the age of 46. But he does. Simple as that. Still making it a science to pound somebodies face in. Man is an inspiration. Via Sports Illustrated.

Brand-crush of the month: RVCA. If I liked this brand any more, I’d ask her out on a date.
Honestly, check out their site and learn how to act as a brand that talks to people. They are featuring and supporting several artists, musicians, surfers, fighters, writers, designers and what not, so you can enjoy tons of stuff while looking around - and then buy a shirt. Fair enough. “Erin Wasson, Martial arts, music, art, ping pong, good food….”, that about sums it up right.
It’s basically how I’d do it myself if I was in advertising. Wait, are you hiring, RVCA?
