KAWS New York Studio

kaws' studio


Great pictures from an artist studio. I truly respect artist like KAWS.
I wonder when my kids grow up they will see his painting in MOMA, Museum of Modern Art.
New York is a city known for art and artist. In the early years New York was a place with artist like Jackson Pollack, Willem De Kooning, Ad Reinhart, Mark Rothko hanging out at Cedar Tavern( The Cedar Tavern (or Cedar Street Tavern) was a bar and restaurant in New York City last at 82 University Place between 11th and 12th Streets. It was famous as a former hangout of many prominent Abstract Expressionist painters and beat writers. The establishment was located at 24 University Place in its heyday, but closed in April 1963 and reopened three blocks north in 1964 in a more upscale pub style.)drinking the night away with debates about current events and fooling around like childrens.

Now days people are meeting online or at clubs letting our outfits do the talking rather then conversing about current events and just fooling around like childrens.

Artist like KAWS is a member of the generation that grew up on skateboards, Graffiti , Video games, HipHop,cellphones, sports (michael jordan), cartoons (The Simpsons), and internet browsing (AOL) iphones,blogs, sneakers, reality shows.

Aren't we all like KAWS born knowing and doing those things mention above.



DC Shoes Colin Mckay and Danny Way Limited Edition



Danny Way (born on April 4, 1974 in Portland, Oregon) is a professional skateboarder. He rode for Powell Peralta in the late 1980s. He was featured, with Bucky Lasek in very short segment in the Powell video "Public Domain." Soon after Way left Powell to ride for H-Street, and then rode for Blind from 1990-1991, but soon left to join the founder of H-Street to begin a new company called Plan B Skateboards. He is married to Kari Way and has two sons Ryden and Tavin Way. Outnumberstore.com has the new Special Collaboration DC shoes Danny Way with Atmos Tokyo in Japan.

DC and Atmos Tokyo have decided to do a collaboration and create a sneaker, with two color ways. They decided to do it the Danny Way style. Danny Way, if you people don’t know is an amazing skateboarder who actually did an ollie over the Great Wall of China. Trust me that’s not something that is done easily but he accomplished it. Anyways back to the shoe. These sneakers have a mix color way which I actually like. What I mean is if you look at the shoe it looks like they just threw on some purple, black, light purple, teal all into the mix and it makes the shoe look great. If you wanna purchase these $100 sneakers OutNumber has them available right now!


Colin McKay began skating in 1986 and honed and progressed his skateboard skills at Kevin Harris' Richmond Skate Ranch. McKay was sponsored by Powell Peralta and made his video debut in the Bones Brigade Video 4, "Public Domain". He progressed quickly as an amateur vert skater and had a groundbreaking video part in Powell's 1990 film "Propaganda". His style of technical lip tricks helped progress vertical skateboarding, and McKay would remain a top amateur skater on the contest circuit until he turned professional in 1993.

Towards the end of 1991, Colin McKay left Powell Peralta to join the preeminent Plan B Skateboards team, a new company formed by Mike Ternansky, Steve Rocco, and Danny Way. McKay's inclusion on Plan B helped him sustain a career in skateboarding during its drought in the early 1990s. The company's 1992 video "Questionable" had compelling street skating parts from all of their team riders, including McKay, which raised the bar on his relevance. This formula was repeated for Plan B's next video "Virtual Reality" in 1993. Plan B would lose its dominance in the years following, but thanks to ESPN's X Games, top vert riders like McKay got to keep their profiles raised and their careers alive as skateboarding regained in popularity. Plan B was shut down and McKay jumped to Girl Skateboards and then Seek Skateboards.

In 2005, McKay and Way resurrected Plan B. Colin McKay remains a top force in the world of vertical skateboarding today and is an original rider and share-owner of the skateboard footwear company (DC Shoes), and is part owner of RDS (Red Dragon Skateboards), RDS Skate Supply, and Centre Distribution. He is currently sponsored by Independent Trucks, as well as maintaining a pro model on Plan B, and signature model shoes with DC available at Outnumberstore.com.

WE ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE WESC AS OUR NEWEST BRAND


WeSC is a street fashion brand for intellectual slackers. WeAretheSuperlativeConspiracy symbolizes what WeSC as a company represents; a group, a family of good and competent people working towards the same ideal and goals.
WeSC is not merely a brand in the fashion industry, but rather a company within the skateboard culture. We create “street fashion”, clothing with roots in a subculture that sets its own rules and follows its own trends.
The company was founded on January 7th 2000, our official “Day of The Superlative Conspiracy”. The founders are all avid skateboarders and snowboarders.
The idea was to create a street fashion brand, a brand that represented street fashion – not streetwear. We felt that the purpose contained more than just t-shirts and jeans, a broader selection for men and women. None of what we wanted to achieve was to be found in the distribution network that we related to. Today WeSC is available in more than 20 countries around the world.
WeSC is addressing people with awareness, regardless of race, religion or financial background. These people all share the values and lifestyle of the WeSC founders. We deliver “life after skate”, a more developed style that also targets people outside the skateboard community, but still shares its values. The particular “We-feeling” and community feeling in the skateboard culture is an ever present important key element in day to day operations of the company.
uperlative Conspiracy is the foundation for the entire company; it’s the idea and philosophy behind the company. One of the most important components of the Superlative Conspiracy™ is our Weactivists. A Weactivist is someone that is extremely good at what they do, world famous or totally unknown. Someone that has a “streetwise” mentality, that chooses his or her own path with a humble persona. A Weactivist is an informal ambassador that fly’s the flag of the Superlative Conspiracy in a variety of subcultures such as skate, music, film, art and so on. Our unique partnership with the Weactivists is sometimes tight and sometimes loose. WeSC loves to be challenged and wants to constantly seek out creative partnerships to grow the pond accordingly.
Its unparalleled image and brand building tactics make WeSC stand out from the rest.


OUTNUMBER IS BRINGING IN WESC. LOOK OUT FOR NEW WESC COLLECTION AT OUR STORE. COMING SOON.
