Joe Kay & Matt Reyes

February 27th, 2011

Just saw this short edit over at slumworm. Matt Reyes and his homie Joe Kay chilling in Morgan Hill Skatepark. This edit was shot in 20 minutes. Pretty effective work out. I’m glad I sent over some [Titan's] to Matt last month. He’s really taking them to the limit.





Jannic “Soriano” the jeweler

February 25th, 2011

Johnom’s cousin Jannic Soriano “the jeweler” has made some outstanding jewlery pendants. Jannic is almost fully trained as a goldsmith and he has been doing a lot of amazing pieces for the people in Copenhagen. He has among others made jewelry for the DJ Morten Breum.

In our case, he has produced an anodized SF silver pendant. It is a detailed and totally flawless piece of art he has made. Amazing craftmanship.

Bevar Christiania / Save Christiania

February 25th, 2011

Within Denmark’s capital Copenhagen exists another world called Christiania. It’s a small area within the city that proclaimed its independence from the state in 1971, and an intriguing place to visit and experience

Christiania, also known as Freetown Christiania (Danish: Fristaden Christiania) is a self-proclaimed autonomous neighbourhood of about 850 residents, covering 34 hectares (85 acres) in the borough of Christianshavn in the Danish capital Copenhagen. Civic authorities in Copenhagen regard Christiania as a large commune, but the area has a unique status in that it is regulated by a special law, the Christiania Law of 1989 which transfers parts of the supervision of the area from the municipality of Copenhagen to the state

Christiania has been a source of controversy since its creation in a squatted military area in 1971. Its cannabis trade was tolerated by authorities until 2004. Since then, measures for normalising the legal status of the community have led to conflicts, and negotiations are ongoing. A lot of people wants to close down Christiania and normalise it, which in my eyes is complete madness..

Sofus Francisco has made these straps to show Christiania our support. “Bevar Christiania” means “save Christiania” in danish.
