Darcel Dissapoints: I Think I Found The Animated Version Of Myself...

I got introduced to Darcel by reading the blogs and coming across information about his sculpture entitled "Summer in NY is Fucked"...


At the time i didn't know that it was based on an animation by the same name done by an artist named Craig Redman.



But then a little while later I saw that Darcel was also going to the new Louis Vuitton Maison London concept store. I thought that was pretty cool but who exactly was this egg shaped black cyclops with the cool glasses on.

I went to Craig Redman's blog where I discovered that Darcel is the star of Craig Redmans animated blog "Darcel Dissapoints" that brings to life everyday trivialities and occurrences.

I began reading through his blog and I realized that Darcel and I (and probably many New Yorkers)have a lot in common. From the small things that bother New Yorkers like waiting for the train to going to visiting exhibits like the one Kaws had at the Gering & Lopez gallery and getting wasted and then feeling the results of it, I'm sure that a lot of New Yorkers can identify with Darcel. I sure do. Check It out and visit the blog for more.

Death of Deadstock by NiceKicks

I read a very interesting article over @Nicekicks and I don't normally post full articles from other blogs but I really found this one interesting. It goes into the reason why the culture of collecting and storing deadstock (never worn) sneakers is dying out. Referencing everythting from older shoes cracking to the recession. The article was a very interesting read that I pretty much agree with since I've tried selling a pair of deadstock kicks only to have to settle for a price lower than I wanted and I have also had to deal with the dreadful cracking of a deadstock pair that I wore for the 1st time. Check out the article HERE. Or head over to Nicekicks.com

EXACTLY how my 2000 Infared Jordan VI's looked the DAY I Un-DS'd them. It was a VERY sad day for me.
