A couple pieces i've been eyeing for months have hit the sale rack over at Haven. Check them for yourself.


NexusVII - Sperlunker Anorak

NexusVII - Quilt Zip Vest

Wtaps - Cell Shirt


Artist Spotlight: Timur Si Qin



This is an artist i am not too familiar with. As far as i can tell it's a German artist, or an artist than works in Germany. Anyway, no point in going about things i don't know. What attracted me to his work, were some pieces i saw recently on the effects on modern day weaponry on ancient steel armor replicas. I loved the idea, it's like a socially acceptable way to explore the themes in time cop. Learn more here.

Artist Spotlight: Francis Picabia




If someone tells you that Dali is there favorite artist, chances are they don't know that much about art. Not saying he isn't one of history's greatest, but sometimes it doesn't hurt to look past the people history has made a star, and examine the people history put on the bench. Francis Picabia shared many similarities with Dali. They were both surrealists, dadaists, lived in Paris, had all the same friends, the list goes on. What differentiated them though, is the influence of Duchamp on Picabia's work. While the surrealist nature is always there, his work is far more conceptual that a lot of his contemporaries. I just plain think his work is beautiful, and am always shocked by how little his name comes up in discussion. So please, take some time to enjoy the diverse work of Francis Picabia.
