It’s that time of the year when the Summer is kind of on it’s way out, but there’s always a chance of the good old Indian summer greeting us this September if we are lucky. If that is the case then the evenings are going to start to get a little colder, so you may want to look for a good quality jumper to wear over your t-shirt to keep your body warm after an evening skate.
Etnies have a decent and simple solution available in your local skater owned shop right now with their Classic Crew. The 80% cotton 20% polyester keeps the warmth whilst this mix also feels super comfy as you would expect. My sweater is actually bergundy red in colour but also comes in grey, blue and black. There’s a classic embriodered etnies logo on the chest plus another branded logo stitched on the front that has information about the serial number on it. It’s the sort of info that you find inside a clothing garment and for me personally wasn’t needed, but if this doesn’t bug you then I can guarantee you will be stoked on this purchase which has now become a weekly part of my life.
Heroin and Landscape Skateboards’ head honcho Mark ‘Fos’ Foster has announced that he will share some art this Thursday at the Wayward Gallery which is found at 47 Mowlem St, London, E2 9HE.
In his own words:
“I’m usually pretty good at these things, but nothing is coming to mind. I’m sat here working my way through a Cafetierre of Bolivian coffee, waiting to be hit by a brilliant idea that will make everyone who reads these words want to come to the show. Instead of making a load of stuff up about my latest work and how its a culmination of every experience that I’ve ever had, or some crap like that, or how you should care about it cos I’m a skateboarder and skateboarding is cool right? Well let’s leave all that out. Let me tell you how it is, the Wayward Gallery always has good shows, and this one will be no exception. So just come down on Thursday and drink some free beer, and look at some paintings and stuff. I’m not gonna promise that it’ll change your life, but you never know, it might..” – Fos
Those who love metal will literally be dying to buy one of these chairs designed by Pool Nocc that featured this year at the Milan Design Furniture Fair.

Odd Future’s rapper Tyler the Creator turned up on stage at Reading Festival on a pink girls bike this weekend with fellow band mates, made a few thousand middle class, white teenagers who were out celebrating their private school GCSE results think they were gangsters for 45 mins and left the stage stoked with their performance without their clothes after stagediving.
Today though, OFWGKTA’s front man celebrates winning the Best New Artist award at the VMA’s in the US. In classic style Tyler slammed Bruno Mars once again by saying: “He put on a good performance, but I still hate that dude’s fucking music.”
