A film by the excellent Desillusion Magazine (check them out if you haven't already) and Nike. The film features Eric Koston (duh) with the backdrop of Los Angeles, who is looking mighty pretty in this one.

Hate Mail

16.05.2013

One night in 2011, London artist Mr Bingo tweeted "I will send an offensive postcard to the first person to reply to this message". The response was overwhelming, and so Hate Mail was born, a service where strangers would pay Mr Bingo to offend them via post. With over 400 sledges under his belt, Mr Bingo has released a book of his greatest hates, which you can buy here.

LOMOGRAPHY x DAS MONK PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION - "RIDE"

07.05.2013



This year we are launching our first ever Das Monk photography competition, in association with Lomography Australia/NZ. Over the next month, we'll be opening our doors (and inboxes) to budding young photographers who think they can bring something new to the Das Monk table, as we are looking for an amazing photo to print on a t-shirt in one of our upcoming seasons.

Drawing inspiration from the lo-fi analogue aesthetic of Lomo cameras, this year's theme is "Ride"

Entries close on June 13, and the winner (chosen by us) will receive a Lomo Sprocket Rocket Camera and film pack, a Das Monk tee/sweatshirt pack, $250 cash, and of course their very own Das Monk t-shirt featuring their winning entry!

To enter, follow the guidelines below:

1. Email your photos (max 3 photos per entry) to mail@dasmonk.com
2. Include a brief bio, including a website link if you have one.
3. A brief explanation of how it relates to the theme, "Ride".

Good luck!

STOOPIDTALL

25.04.2013



Every year in LA, a major thoroughfare is shut down for CicLAvia, a cross-city bike/skate/walk event between Downtown and Santa Monica. This year the LA Bike Cult decided to do CicLAvia on a 14.5 foot bike... fixed gear, no brakes!

H/T to Johnny for sending this over!
