Creativity at a stand still?

Time and time we come to the conclusion that some designers either progress or stand still. Take a peek at the new Jordans called the Spizikes Mars. They take the best of two things and combine them to one. Take it as is, a creative design or did they run out of ideas. You make the decision.



Island Roots..

Thinking outside the box.

Art & Sole. San Jose. The premise is to showcase the talent and creativity of local artists using shoes as their canvas. We hope to accomplish two visions from Art & Sole; to establish a network of fundraising events for charities, and to bring awareness to local artists. The affluent young and hip audience we hope to attract will also realize, through Art & Sole, that the city renowned for being the capital of Silicon Valley is also a growing haven for art and culture.

Manifest Hawaii..


About 2413 Miles away from our hometown (San Jose,CA) is a lovely place called Manifest.

Manifest is located on Hotel Street, the historical spine of Chinatown. The modern coffee shop by day offers a place for downtowners to network with one another and recharge themselves for the remaining light hours. By sundown the Manifest slips itself into a culturally sophisticated cocktail bar which is also arranged as a venue for artists of ‘all art mediums’. With the positive support of the community, the Manifest is the sign of exciting and progressive things to come to Honolulu and to the rest of Hawaii.

Some buzz around this gallery bar has brought alot of attention. 1st Friday, featuring nonetheless Mandy Garcia, Lucky Olelo, and Jessico Serano.

Check out the flix below, enjoy..
