Stephane Manel's Dwyane Wade Mural by Ami Kealoha
Miami Heat player Dwyane Wade's new signature shoe for Converse hits stores today and for a launch party last week in New York, French artist Stephane Manel created this 12' x 36' mural. As Manel says, the piece "translate[s] Wade's movement to catch the ball bouncing on the multi-color lines of the basketball court." Manel, along with Sebastien Agneessens (curator and founder of Formavision), co-curated a shoe gallery that traced the history of Converse from the first Chucks (dating back to around the turn-of-the-century) to Wade's contribution.

Gregory Siff
When Gregory Siff isn't acting in independent films, modeling for Abercrombie, or hosting Disney's Z Games, he's painting, creating installations and sculptures, or customizing Stan Smith adidas. The NYC-born, 27 year-old wunderkind tailors the kicks, called "Gregory's," according to the character of the individual. Currently he also offers more minimalist versions, like those pictured, at Rudy's Barbershop in the Hollywood Standard hotel. His graffiti...

Ji Lee: Duchamp Reloaded
CH friend and Google Labs Creative Director Ji Lee is up to his public art tricks again, this time with a new project he's calling "Duchamp Reloaded." A riff on Marcel Duchamp's readymades, Lee recreates Duchamp's famed Bicycle Wheel, chaining them alongside other bikes on NYC sidewalks. Playing the concept up even more, he often positions them in front of galleries and museums where...

Deviate
Featuring work by artists who are "altering materials and repurposing objects that prompt viewers to investigate the act of looking and perceiving," the unifying theme behind the impending group exhibition "Deviate" may be a little broad but it makes for a show that speaks to CH's penchant for the obsessively subversive. The nine artists represented take a largely conceptual approach using a diverse collection...

Watermelon-Inspired Design
A few cheeky watermelon-themed products we happened upon recently got us thinking about the summer fruit as a source of design inspiration. While George Nelson's iconic modernist clock ($335 from Pure Modern) is a restrained nod to the melon's oblong shape, most of what's out there appeals to the pink, black and green colorway and the contrast of the exterior rind to the flesh....

Jason Yarmosky: Orpheus
NYC-based painter Jason Yarmosky's latest series, "Orpheus," is the young artist's starkly realist take on the epic story. Over the course of eight narrative panels, the well-known Greek myth unfolds in Yarmosky's world of charcoal, gesso and tea felt. There are, however, a few tweaks to the original story. Orpheus's resemblance to Bob Dylan is no mistake. Yarmosky explains that Dylan, like Orpheus, is...
