Damn good shoes!

There are many fine designs and products in Dizzy Debbie's store, but I fell in love with these canvas shoes since the first time I saw them. You can customize laces, soles or binding but, please, don't. They are gorgeous just as she made them, in this soft, grungy, plaid pattern. Surreality approved and endorsed!

A well-dressed skate

This a unique skateboard design that parts ways with the usual skating trends and flirts with... bespoke grunge! Great idea, subdued colors: me likes. It's no surprise that it comes from the imaginative artist behind Scarrvision store,  a source of really unusual skates. Look at another beauty:
We are entering the tropics with this one. It just haves a hint of cool retro that makes you smile. Great job!

Yesterday's snow

Was it the day the picture was taken? Is it something special on February 11th, something that changed the artist's life? We don't know and it doesn't matter. What matters is this strange design with the red and ochre hues and the grungy texture. The weird-looking sky and the wires that travel through it. It's a great mousepad from Krissy B.
I love the use of these vibrant colors over dirty backgrounds. Krissy's style is at it's best when it is unexpected and intense. Plus, dinosaurs never looked so playful before!

Destiny's graffiti

Abandoned places cast a strange fascination over me. The ghosts of urban life sometimes interact with the living in strange, surprising ways. Outsider art, hobo symbols and graffiti give a dreamlike palimpsest look in secret and forgotten places. Such is the place captured in this splendid photograph by Blacqbook. The artwork on the wall is ready to ascend the forlorn staircase and this image takes a life of it's own. This is really a great poster, one of many by this Canadian artist.
Photography, nature's abstractions, urban decay, weird collages and beautiful graphic design, find their place in Blacqbook's work and create an enchanting world made from discarded pieces of our everyday life.
