Hype Beasts Came across some nice illustrations by artist Ronald Kurniawan that put a whole new twist on the term hypebeasts. Check out his portfolio for more dope illustrations. “Ronald Kurniawan graduated with honors from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. Inspired by ideograms, syllables, letterforms, beasts and heroic landscapes, he slowly but surely continues to create a visual language where the wilderness and civilization could merge happily together. With the belief that the sublime and nuclear age could coexist, he paints romantic environments and breaks the quiet scene with juxtaposed imagery taking the shape of icons and letterforms. He currently lives and works in Los Angeles where he paints meticulously and happily accompanied by his pug Ruffles, an avid artist himself.” via INQMND June 18, 2008

Piece of Me, Piece of YouZombies share street dance moves as eagerly as they do frontal lobes in the Zune Arts film “Piece of Me, Piece of You” by Three Legged Legs. Set to the electrofunk sounds of Chromeo, the film follows a mob of near-life-sized puppet zombies as they infect a city with their mad pop-locking moves. To bring the film to life, Three Legged Legs collaborated with modern dance choreographer Kristin Zipfel as well as emerging puppet makers Adam Parker Smith and Carolyn Salas. For more on the film’s artists, visit threeleggedlegs or chromeo.netMay 12, 2008

Street ball throw back Reebok threw a major throw back with their re-release of the Reverse Jams which was Billy Hoyle's (Woody Harrelson's) shoe of choice from White Men Can't Jump.
