Shot while driving on Sunset Blvd. Takashi Murakami's MOCA show is fast approaching and this is the first advertisement I've seen so far. This one is on it's way to Echo Park. If you drive by at the right time and the gate's up, you can actually see his exhibition being installed. I hear there's going to be two entrances, one for the young ones and one for adults.

Shot while driving on Sunset Blvd. Takashi Murakami’s MOCA show is fast approaching and this is the first advertisement I’ve seen so far. This one is on it’s way to Echo Park. If you drive by at the right time and the gate’s up, you can actually see his exhibition being installed. I hear there’s going to be two entrances, one for the young ones and one for adults. Wonder what’s in the adult entrance that the kids can’t see. Nasty nasty. Notice the SAW IV ad in the right bottom corner, weird billboards but down low.

Mr Jimmy asks: how bizarre. Is hypebeast going in a different direction now or are you? or neither... Were you initially reluctant? Where's the synergy?I looked at this and thought... hmm. Interesting viewpoint. I didn't feel anything odd about it. It just felt like a normal occurence. So here goes some explanations for maybe anyone who cares. In case you don't know.

Mr Jimmy asks: how bizarre. Is hypebeast going in a different direction now or are you? or neither… Were you initially reluctant? Where’s the synergy? I looked at this and thought… hmm. Interesting viewpoint. I didn’t feel anything odd about it. It just felt like a normal occurence. So here goes some explanations for maybe anyone who cares. In case you don’t know. Hypebeast is one of the premier streetwear blogs. Maybe the premier one, period. 1 Hypebeast now has blogs so that’s new. Maybe they’re changing. I’m staying the same. I won’t wear oversized sunglasses. Hat, if I have one on will be normal pointed forward, not at a 30% angle. My sense of style won’t change since it’s perfect already. I’ll still be awkward in crowds. I don’t own any denim. You won’t see me out a lot at sneaker events. I do like sneakers though, but seldom buy them. My sneakers tend to be beat to shit. I like products, but don’t write about them in blogs too often.2 Maybe Kevin from Hypebeast is looking for other perspectives, maybe he likes GR (isn’t that possible?!)3. Synergy? Products, culture, and more. I think there’s a fit. I might not be as “cool” as the streetwear kids, but I do try to innovate, but just in my own way.4. Was I reluctant? No. If it were Perez Hilton then maybe, but Hypebeast? I figure it’s all about consumer design culture and nice and hardworking people like Kevin, and Mr. Rob Heppler.5. The direction. Am I going to start writing about GR X (insert blank) daily? No, but I do make stuff sometimes with people, but it’s never “line-up” material. If I knew how to do that, it would be neat. Come to think about it, we’ve had some line-ups before. Barry McGee show and Uglycon and the Tylenol Ouch toys.6. I’ll aspire to write about friends, life, and projects like I do here, but maybe for a different audience and from a different perspective. I’ll do the best I can, and hope I’m not boring.
