Flwrpt Salsa Mix

I meant to post this on Friday, but lost track of time.  The new salsa mix from flwrpt is definitely worth a listen.  I’m not even a big salsa fan and I was diggin’ it.

Download here.  Enjoy!

Illustrator/Designer: Dr Franken

Unique designs by Spanish illustrator/designer Dr Franken.  I really struggled to figure out which images to post since they’re all so awesome.  The melting Nike piece alone is too much for words….

Check out the Behance portfolio here and the official site here.  I guarantee you’ll get lost for hours.

Theodora & Callum

Fun patterns on these scarves from accessory-based line Theodora and Callum.  The tan Ikat piece at the top left and blue Navajo print on the bottom left are cool.

Their shoes are equally as stunning.

Friday Music Inspiration: Notorious B.I.G. Ten Crack Commandments

I guess it’s my inner thug coming out again, but I’ve had Biggie’s Ten Crack Commandments in my head for the past several weeks now.  I’ve been waking up singing it and randomly humming it throughout the day.  Really don’t know what it’s all about…

Anyway, I found this video that speaks of the song’s inspiration.  Apparently there was an article in the July 1994 issue of  The Source magazine that listed the 10 commandments a crack dealer should live by.   Veeeeeery interesting.

WARNING:  This video contains profanity, so it’s not safe for work.  Put those headphones on!

If you’re unfamiliar with the song you can listen to it here.  Also, the dope image above is by graphic designer and illustrator Razauno.

Have a great weekend!

Friday Music Inspiration: Wax Poetics Magazine

Wax Poetics is a bimonthly music magazine whose content ranges from jazz, funk, soul, hip-hop, R&B, reggae, blues and Latin.  The first issue was published in late 2001 and since then it’s presence has expanded to include apparel sales, a record label, a music download site, book publishing and film divisions, and a weekly radio show on New York City’s East Village Radio hosted by the magazine’s staff.

I’ve been seeing the magazine on friends’ coffee table for months now and recently became of fan of the fantastic writing, quality paper stock and strong photography.  I definitely recommend picking up a copy if you’re unfamiliar.  Now is actually a great time since they’re having a customer appreciation sale and offering 50% off of back issues and books.  More details available on their site here.

Have a great weekend!
