Lovely photo of a foggy Montréal fall evening. Red effect is just from the iPhone app but works so well !!

Love this simple photo by Chris.
The History of Vans
Vans — loved them what I was young. Gave up on them while skating as the uppers didn’t last. Back to them cause I love them.
Range Rover design
The man who designed the original Range Rover has passed away and the NYT’s has an article about him.
I’ve always loved this design — there’s something about the glass size, body shape, panel fit, and ‘utility with finish’ that’s attractive to my country upbringing and my design sense. Too bad it’s now synonymous with gas waste and excess $ (maybe it always was to some degree).

Love this photo I took a couple days back from the windows @plankdesign. Fast rolling storm passed over Montreal. This is looking towards the south shore from downtown.

Michel Gravel has a couple of this amazing photos up from a life around Montréal. This one of St Catherine is lovely.
Tray by Maria Holmer Dahlgren
At some point I want either this (or something very close to it) on my wall framed, on a longboard (maybe as a band or swath) — or even as wallpaper on a whole wall.

Quality Peeps
Very interesting. Some great looking stuff from Ed — love the photo/line on the cover. Maybe we’ll find out more soon !!

Flavor Paper Wallpaper
Some stunning wallpaper. When I own a house I will seriously revisit this site. The one above is called “Flower Pedal“. Some of their florals are mind melting crazy.
“Home Is Where The Surf Is” short film
Absolutely lovely movie by Branden Aroyan from Santa Barbara
“Here’s a little film for the Sacred Craft gathering in Ventura this year. It was an honor to be included. It is the first film I shot and edited to be publicly displayed on the web. It became one of the Audience 5 favorite original shorts. Thanks to Cyrus Sutton for instigating.”

Skateboard animation makes me happy
I think every skater who’s looked at sequences, cut and pasted stuff into books, DIY-ers, and artists will understand why I love this.

SXSW 2010
