Owen Freeman’s Illustrations
Owen Freeman's illustrations are the kind of art that's more pleasing to look at than the images that inspired them. He uses rich, saturated colors and digital painting over stark ink sketches create a surreal depiction of recognizable people and places. They're the kind of art you end up staring…
Jack Purcell Garment Dye Sneakers
Ah, Converse. It's like they happened upon the perfect sneaker design decades before they were supposed to, and now it's predictably stuck around for most of the 20th century. Jack Purcells are a timeless favorite these days--even though most people wearing them think Jack Purcell is a small, terrier-like dog--and…
EdgeStar Mini Kegerator
Lethargy runs naturally in the male population. We're predisposed to sit down on a couch, and when we do, it takes a lot to get us off it (usually sexual relations, alcohol, or a house fire are popular reasons). And speaking of alcohol, sometimes getting up and going to the…
Diesel Digital DZ7172
DZ7172 is perhaps the most evocative, poetic product name ever devised. As you can see, the watch is equally as poetic in form. It has lots of curves, perhaps recalling a Degas nude, a blown glass vase, or maybe just a circle. Ok, so we're bad at sarcasm. But we…
Obey Standard Duffle Pack
Duffle bags are cool. They're used by the military, they look way more bad-ass than those rolling suitcases, they're used in movies to hold stacks of cash, drugs, guns, nukes, body parts, the list goes on. But let's face it, walking with a duffle bag down what seems like 8…
Mine and Yours Shot Glasses
Unlike any other Mine/Yours combos--towels, bathrobes, Audis--these Mine/Yours shot glasses are actually cool. The obvious joke will amuse your friend getting the whiskey in the 1.5 oz. "Yours" glass. That is, of course, until you get absolutely wasted off your super-sized 4 oz. glass and your friend has be the…
Reveal Bamboo Watch
Bamboo has come to the fore on the wave of green trends. It's that wood that's readily abundant, pretty to look at, and has many applications. And now we can add watchmaking to them: Reveal's Bamboo watch uses the wood in the housing and band, creating a look that's decidedly…

John Wilson – Metal Sculpture and Functional Art
John Wilsons's metal sculptures are the kind of sculpture we actually like, as opposed to the kind that features the head of a barbie doll stuck on a trident and hailed as a post-modern masterpiece. Wilson combines the detritus of automotive transport--old road signs, tailgates, camshafts--and makes them into cool…
Etymotic Custom-Fit Earbud Program
Etymotic takes things seriously. They've started an earbud customization program that allows you to create impressions of your ear canal that translate into perfectly fitted earbuds. Considering most earbuds come with either a) nothing to fit them properly at all (looking at you, Apple) or b) a little rubber nubs…
RVCA Puffer Fleece
RVCA have made a piece of outerwear that's basically the bastard child between a down vest and a hoodie zip-up. We think they've pulled it off. A decidedly different approach to the fleece, it combines these two classic warm garments into a jacket that stands out from the crowd. And…
Cast Resin Horns & Antlers
We're guessing you haven't gone out and successfully killed a large quadruped like a moose or a antelope. If you're like us, the only things you've killed are vermin, mosquitos, and to extend it into the metaphorical sense, your chances with a cute girl by saying a very awkward thing.…
Lum-Tec Combat B4 Watch
Lum-Tec Combat B4 may sound like a fictional gun from a James Cameron movie but it's a watch. Before you're disappointed, have a look--all their watches feature a luminescence technology that blows Indiglo out of the water. They use "superluminova photoluminescence" (yay syllables!) in their MDV Technology, which produces an…
Seabreacher X
It's a shark-shaped personal watercraft thingy that can do 50 mph above water and then dive down like a damn submarine and do 25 mph under the water. If your mind is not completely blown right now with childlike glee, something is wrong with you. Or maybe you're dead. Or…
Abercrombie & Fitch Mount Marcy Khaki Pants
Disregard Abercrombie's um, questionable retail aesthetic for a second, what with it's topless male ab monkeys brand reps, choking perfumed air and pumping David Guetta tracks. Fact of the matter is, some of their threads are pretty sweet. Take the Mount Marcy pants for instance. Lightweight khaki, drawstring waist, and loose…
