pocket bike racing


ok so when i was a kid me and my friends used to race our pocket bikes up and down pur neighborhood. but now i look at pocket bike racing as a art form because the lack of size and power that the bikes have is almost comical. but the pocket bike racers take racing pocket bikes just as seriously as people would take real superbike racing. wich to me this defamiliarizes the competition and intesity of real motorcycle racing because the same intensity and competition can be found racing bikes that are 10 times smaller and cheaper. it truly is racing for the everyday person.

^ these are kids but adults race pocket bikes too.

jones soda

Jones soda is not the most popular brand of beverages but it is one that really caught my eye. Whats interesting about jones soda is not only there many  differant flavors but its the way they get there customers involved in there final product. For example jones soda has a large picture on its lable that is differant for every bottle, but every picture is picked out from ones that customers upload and submit to be put on a label aswell as a small fortune one the inside of the cap and a little description or artical about the photo.

avatar the last airbender

this was one of my favorite shows growing up. what stets the show apart from the other anime type cartoons is that the story line was farly simple for me to follow as a kid and i woldnt be lost if i missed one episode but what really got me interested in this show is that the charaters in it were just kids and they knew that they had to take on a huge role to folfill the phroficy that they were part of. even though thes kids felt overwhelmed as the story line when by they started taking more and more responsability.

afro samurai

 This is a game based on a animated series, i really liked the show and the game because it takes place in a world were the time and the culture is a little messsed up. to explain the people in this movie live in ancient chinese housing although some of them fight with hi-tech guns and RPGs. Also the culture it a little twisted because the people are from all different backgrounds and whenever the main character enters a bar or store there is always hip hop music playing in the background.

 Another reason why this game stands out is that the whole game has a artstyle as if the game was painted with water colours as you can probably see in the picture above.

adidas starwars collection



adidas decided to do a whole line of clothing baced on starwars, this is very interesting to me not just because i like starwars but that it takes todays pop cultre and mixes it up alittle bit my incorperating something that is looked at as beeing something nerdy or un-cool and displays it in a hip way that goes along with todays styles
