In addition to the cast members listed above, it also stars Edward Norton (one of my all-time favs) and indie film veteran Jason Schwartzman (also awesome).  This is going to be good if you’ve enjoyed some of Anderson’s more recent films like ‘The Life Aquatic’ and ‘The Royal Tanembaums.’ It’s also guaranteed to have a kick @$$ soundtrack. Just saying.

• It’s NOT an app that’s meant to replace Instagram or your iPhone’s in-built camera app. It’s meant to compliment it.
• It’s NOT just for hipsters. It’s for everyone. Put any images you take together in series of two, three, five, etc. Fancy filters need not be present in your images to do so.
• It’s NOT another social media picture sharing app. Again, it’s just meant to help you sequence your images to help tell a little story with them.

Here’s a sequence I put together a couple of months ago to showcase a spring outfit of mine:

Anyway, they have a contest running right now that is definitely worth telling you about. Here’s the official word from Diptic:

It’s exciting to think of JCPenny being relevant again, don’t you think? If Wooster is able to lead out his vision for menswear at Penny’s, I can tell you that I’ll be there to be his clothes.

Morgan Spurlock, the director who’s best known for documentaries Super Size Me and Where In The World Is Osama Bin Laden? is exploring hairy new territory in his newest project. This time around, Spurlock finds himself with the likes of Hollywood’s most elite leading funnymen like Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Zach Galifianakis to learn about the evolving laws of attraction to the modern man. Or more specifically, what it takes to be “mansome” — both manly and handsome. The documentary is produced by Arnett and Bateman, and is expected to drop in theaters this May. It couldn’t come sooner.

Julian Marshall was staring at his OBEY poster that Shepard Fairey had given him one morning and thought to himself: “Why hasn’t anyone written a movie about the Shepard Fairey-Buddy Cianci billboard incident in 1990?” Apparently it was this incident that would help elevated Shepard Fairey’s status to new levels among the street artist culture at the time.

The trailer below for the film also doubles as a solicitation of $30,000 via  Kickstarter to help them finish the film. Enjoy.

UK furniture maker Sebastian Cox is very interested in environmental sustainability. He grew up in the countryside and developed a passion for working with wood early on in his childhood. “Timber is a very engaging material because wood will always do what it wants to do,” says Cox.

Coppiced hazel plants are capable of growing nearly five feet tall in a single season. According to him, one can have an inexhaustible supply of resources for production if it’s cultivated properly. This short film explores his work with the Coppiced Hazel Woodlands and gives you a look into how he sources his timber.

The Billy Reid K-Swiss shoe came out last Spring but I wasn’t much of a fan because it was only made in canvas. This month though, J. Crew will release the same shoe in a brown suede at a $95 price point. Yes, please.

Official K-Swiss announcement: “Following the success of the Billy Reid for K-Swiss collaboration that launched in Spring 2011, they have added a new spin to the collection.  The Venice Surf & Court will be launching a new colorway, tan suede and will be available this month on www.jcrew.comand select J Crew stores across the country.”

Summer Chinos for dad!

I became completely obsessed with snowboarding. Working in skate and snowboard shops to get me through college gave me access to some of the best resorts in California with discounted all-day lift tickets at $5-$10 a pop. Somewhere in it all though, I stopped chasing snowboarding. I think a lot of me developed a disdain for it as I watched it become by burnouts with no ambition. They ruined it for me. Dare a judge? Yes, for this post please allow me to.

Anyway, I got on a pair of skis over the weekend with my buddy Satch and had a blast! I’m definitely going to try to ski more often. While I don’t have any pics or videos of us killing it at Steven’s Pass on Saturday, I do have this artsy fartsy Instagram photo of the pair of Pocket Rockets I had borrowed.

"After"

I can’t tell you how proud I was of him yesterday. His fro was his signature look but it had to be trimmed. He didn’t kick and scream – he just stayed put in the yellow race car that served as the barber seat. Lindsey was definitely a lot more anxious than I was. Doesn’t he look good?!
