Format Wallpaper ReUp by Max Gold
Format Magazine recently released a wave of over 70 fresh wallpapers celebrating its 40th issue. Many are recycled covers from past issues but our favorites transform sneakers from commodity to an artistic medium.
For example, "SNKR City" plays off of Frank Miller's graphic novel/superhero aesthetic, placing an eye-catching pair of Nikes into a noir setting. We also like how the 40th Anniversary issue cover, "JB Classics," references the beloved short French film, "Le Ballon Rouge." A different take, "Brook Olivares" keeps with Format's interest in urban art but deviates a bit in that it provides a more impressionistic image.
There's plenty of variety and even if you're not a sneaker head there's a lot to choose from, so have a look at Format Magazine.

Interview with Erik Madigan Heck of Nomenus Quarterly
by Laura Neilson In 2007, 23-year-old Erik Madigan Heck founded Nomenus Quarterly with the kind of arrogant fervor that only someone at that age could pull off. And perhaps it was that very same aplomb that made the multifaceted art and fashion publication so notoriously successful. Just one glance at the archives' roster of featured artists, designers and contributors, including Dries Van Noten, Helmut...

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....

Fray Magazine
Fiction can be fun, but nothing's better than hearing a personal tale that leaves you wishing for more and provides the relieving feeling that you're not the only one who has tried to smuggle a swordfish through customs.That's why we're happy the San Francisco-based web community Fray has decided to take their stories, usually told online and on the road, and put them in print...

Corduroy Magazine No. 3
I recently picked up a copy of issue No.3 of Corduroy Magazine and ended up reading it from cover to cover in one sitting. Named after the idea that a corduroy jacket never goes out of style, the magazine features profiles on up-and-coming and well-known artists, musicians and actors, as well as entire sections devoted to art and fashion. Although this may seem like...

Fray Issue 1: Busted!
Busted! marks the first print edition of Fray.com’s long-running series of first-person true stories. Launched in the internet wilderness of 1996, it served the novel role of personal storytelling forum, eventually expanding to a series of live events and albums. With the new millennium came the inevitable over-saturation of blogs and online journals, pushing Fray into an indefinite hiatus, only to return last month...
