For it’s first project of 2009, Mekanism has sought out American artist Josh Smith on this skate deck art project.
“For this project, Josh Smith decided to work on 200 skateboards. He started painting the bottom of all the boards with oil. Without any established composition or distinct guideline, Smith painted very spontaneously and with a great freedom the 200 pieces, as if, his only goal was to over them with oil.”
For more info, you can contact Mekanism at info@mekanismskateboards.com.

BOSTON - A street artist famous for his red, white and blue “Hope” posters of President Obama has been arrested on warrants accusing him of tagging property with graffiti, police said Saturday.
Shepard Fairey was arrested Friday night on his way to the Institute of Contemporary Art for a kickoff event for his first solo exhibition, called “Supply and Demand.”
Two warrants were issued for Fairey on Jan. 24 after police determined he’d tagged property in two locations with graffiti based on the Andre the Giant street art campaign from his early career, Officer James Kenneally said. One of the locations was the railroad trestle by the landmark Boston University bridge over the Charles River, police said.

The North Face Purple Label is a line that is exclusive to Japan. Unlike many brands that have tried to translate their technical wear into causal wear, The North Face Purple Label actually does it quite successfully without sacrificing too much from The North Face’s roots which is making gear for the outdoors. Here is a look at two new items from The Purple Label collection which include a backpack and a messenger bag. Both feature a green/off-white pattern. The bags are now available at Atmos Tokyo.

Adidas has launched an off-the-court EQT Basketball Campaign which has over time proven to be very successful. The brand has now joined forces with Damani, an upcoming West Coast rap artist who is under contract with Snoop Dogg himself. The result of this hot collaboration is the shoe seen here now, the Adidas EQT Basketball Low - Damani.
The shoe stands out in a black/green/red/gold colorway which manages to blend high quality materials with urban style. The shoe was given the added touch of rapper Damani’s logo and the words “Congratulations Player” added to the heel. Via Got Sole?
