a visual collective outlet of inspiration
i’ve been listening to planet caravan by black sabbath actually, but couldn’t find a live performance to show. instead, here is another amazing song perfect for today… ‘babe i’m gonna leave you’ by led zeppelin. by kl
money for nothing
scott campbell is generally best known for the tattoos he is drawing on celebrities and nyc hipsters (we think about marc jacob’s sponge bob or dash snow’s “eat shit & die”). but here, beside the precision and the meticulosity of those -i guess- razor blades cutt-outs, it’s the support that is interesting. maybe it’s a way to tell us that his customers represent a stack of bills to him 😉 like it! by pp’
Egill Sæbjörnsson
i was introduced to egill sæbjörnsson on a trip to reykjavik iceland where I got a cd performance of this artist (who also sometimes sings), from bad taste records (Smekkleysa) the owner Einar Örn Benediktsson (of the sugarcubes) the album was titled “tonk of the town.” great set of tracks if you can find a copy. egill plays all instruments and sings on the album, the low-tech production work is key, and the content is rather whimsical and easy. it is a breath of fresh air in the world of the ‘too cool for school’ art industry. the lyrics are literally grabbed from the air, words he heard at a bar, lyrics to a song he thought was thin lizzy but later found out otherwise… this piece posted here, is more of a performance piece than a song, so don’t mix the two mediums. i simply cant find anything on him, but felt he deserved a spot on tomorrow started, so don’t just take my word for it, look it up for yourself: egill sæbjörnsson “tonk of the town”. by dd
another one of karl’s poops
maybe we should make a special section dedicated to the endless and useless objects where the chanel c’s are randomly shoved in any which way… coco must be rolling in her grave. some restraints is due we believe. the snow board was a good surprise but you can’t joke the joke too many times. you must be kidding us this time around karl? by pp’
Audio video mobile architecture
redesigning your stogy office? that penthouse apt you just bought at half the price? well the idea in trak-kit can change the entire way we interact with technology. the possibilities seem rather endless when you consider how this can apply not only to television screens and computer screens which have dominated our offices and homes, but how walls and elements can become modular and movable. trak-kit could have only been the brain child of a new york city architect who is aware of the limited spaces we have, and an aesthetic from a city that sets the standard for the rest of the world. the exclusivity and the price tags may contain trak-kit to the uber lux apartments, high-end hotels, state of the art tele conference rooms, and designer corporate offices for now, but with time and its expansion it will surely become available for everyone. architecture and rendering by shadi and company. by av

the race is on
slow and steady wins the race is a new clothing label, presented as a bimonthly clothing diary. the focus is on a specific and fundamental characteristic of clothing design. trends aside; this is about style – for the long haul. the same way the slow, yet consistent turtle wins the race against the cocky hare, great style wins over ever changing trends anytime. by kv

underwater adventure
ah..the endless adventures of tintin. I miss scuba diving! by kv
AMan resort in tahiti
over-the-water bungalow
the smoke you see is created in the early afternoon, just before dinner, to deter the nonos
bike ride into the green – that was amazing!
the underworld of bora bora, i wanted to stay there forever
walking at the bottom of the sea in bora bora
a wonderful place to stay in tahiti. hotel bora bora, as the name suggests, is on the southern edge of the bora bora island and although it is not as stunning and perfect as some of the other amans i have seen it did the job. the hotel was taken over by the aman resorts in the last decade and right now is being revamped to near perfection. a private boat with cold towels and cucumber water will pick you up at the airport and docks you right into your over-the-water bungalow with a wood & glass table that peers right into the water and its colorful fish as you ink your many letters. the scuba diving is not as great as in rangiroa, where we went, an island that is only a “few NY blocks away” but generally the water in tahiti is so clear that almost anywhere is above average. one seemingly ridiculous but rather out-of-this-world experience was walking at the bottom of the sea. i felt like tintin strolling the sea along with captain haddok, except with a captain that was much lovelier! just be careful of the ‘nonos’ the little tiny mosquitoes that seem to never leave tahiti. experience rating: 8 out-of 10 but we are tough. by dd
