Pack Your Stuff

We're moving the blog, kiddos.

Please update your bookmarks, RSS Feeds and brains to http://www.clandestinish.com/. Cause that's our new home, all cleaned up for the relaunch (which is in two DAYSSSS!). I will see you over there. I'll be the one holding the poodle.

Kent says STAY TUNED

Blog news tomorrow.

Anyone noticing how small that Bomby's wick is getting? SOOOO SOON!

O M(ichael Bay) G!

Here's the teaser trailer for Transformers 2 that will run during the Super Bowl. Listen, say what you will, but I'll say this looks like the greatest movie ever made. Transformers on one wheel? Dog-ish transformer? Everything exploding while GIGANTIC robots kill people? Shia's broken hand?

Be right back, I'm going to go get in line.

CLICK HERE for what might be the best trailer ever?

nobody puts baby in the corner

here's the workout dvd "inspired by the #1 movie of all time". hard to argue with that logic. check out the trailer. wow.

It's coming, man.

Grams

Listen, I'm kinda beefy over an art show that opens this weekend, but I still think everyone should see it - and I don't want to take any credit away from the amazing artists and Justin from Shooting Gallery and Kris Lewis (who seems to have been the curators) for putting together what seems like an incredible exhibit. Just sour over will.i.am doing an art show and not involving G1988 (my other job), considering I've been friends with the guy since youth and actually did him a crazy favor a few years back. Whatever, now I can make fun of his solo album and not feel bad.

Onto less bitter information, these artists were each commissioned to create portraits of Grammy-nominated artists for an exhibit this weekend at the Pacific Electric Lofts in LA. here are some really awe-inspiring examples...

Nas by Henry Lewis

Jay-Z by Greg Gossel

Madonna by Lori Early

M.I.A. by Colin Christian

Rich Rubin by Paul Chatem

will.i.am (boooo!) by David Stoupakis

Angus Young by Shawn Barber

Trent Reznor by Travis Louie

Hidden

Listen, you COULD focus on this full shot of the Limited Blue Camo Hoodie that Pete was wearing during press week at the Super Bowl, but I think I'll stare at the fact that a microphone has a rubber ducky on it.

Kitchen Ware

''Hit it" is a series of furniture, consisting of a table and chairs. They resemble Saloon furniture from western movies, but the difference lies in the material. Hit It allows everyone to feel like a strong cowboy. Saloon fighting will now not only be fun, but safe.

Pains that I don't own this. Not sure I can outwit the physical Hit It Table and Chairs with any sort of pun or twee-based commentary, but I will say that if this was a public company I would buy so much stock in it that I would wear a monocle, smoke a pipe and brag about how the economy doesn't affect investors smart enough to put their money in collapsible fighting furniture - because that sir, is a global necessity.

Happy Holilate

So, even though the man publicly outed me as desperate for those drool-worthy Coraline Nikes, and banned the shoe game to Clandestinish, I still owe Pete a Holiday present. He got me the Todd James (a.k.a. "REAS") print he featured over on his blog a few months ago, which was awesome. And I figured I'd return the gesture...

I had two prints to choose from, you tell me if I picked correctly. 

Thought about these Tim Doyle "Bill Murray Times Six" prints I first saw at OMG Posters. They have a normal colorway, and a more limited glow-in-the-dark version, and both chronicle Bill in many of his most memorable roles (Caddyshack, Stripes, Ghostbusters, Ed Wood, Lost in Translation, Life Aquatic), but luckily leaves of his stint as the voice of Garfield. Anyway, didn't pick this one, although I might need to pick it up for myself.

I went with Alex Pardee, who you might recognize from his extensive album and merch art for The Used and Cage. I framed it up with matting and everything...

Choice Fail?

HARSH.

Mee NoLikey. 

Go Panthers!

...and to further my obsession, would any of you still be my friend if I bought a few of these products and wore them while watching the DVD sets? (and by a few products, I mean all 4, and yes, that would mean I'd wear both jerseys at once, switching them when either Riggins or Matt scores at TD or kisses a girl).

4th and Obsession

I can't be alone, can I? Still on my Season 1 DVDs, but that lonely category where "Freaks and Geeks" and "The State" live in, might just get a new roomie.

I am your Landry.

What May Come...

Still a little confused about how this dude was able to take a photograph of a dream he was having. Also, I love little man in the back who has not quite hit the age where he would HAVE to pay attention.

My Best Friend

Dear God,

How did Disney get into my head and create the movie of my dreams? 

Dear DJ Dan Suh,

Do they make weed strong enough for this to seem normal?

Dear Pete,

You can't even get Hemy a line read for this stuff? New agent needed.

Dear the stars of Space Buddies,

Do you guys all wanna hang out? Mini Golf? Smiling, laughing, hanging. I love you guys. Alot.

google maps LARPing

james montgomery sent this one over to me. sometimes the photographers that capture images for google maps end up taking pictures of some amazing shit. they caught a few LARPers (live action role playing) in the act in pittsburgh somewhere:

check it here

for more on LARPing, definitely check out the movie 'monster camp' and try to figure out which dude most reminds you of andy hurley.

El Fin

The only thing to ever beat Salsa Shark might just be Lemonade Shark, and now it's all possible with these awe-inspiring shark fin ice trays. 

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the Ocean Spray Cran-berry Cocktail. No? Not a funny Jaws reference? We're gonna need a bigger cup? Whatever. You can buy them by CLICKING HERE.

Chueh Shoe

A nice mixture between my worlds of Gallery1988 and Clandestine is the artwork of Luke Chueh, who recently created a commissioned painting for the cover of Fall Out Boy's latest album, Folie a Deux. Maybe you've seen it? Well, if you have, I'm assuming it got you onto LukeChueh.com, which in turn got you to be a serious Luke Chueh fan. 

Well, was stoked to see these custom Nikes painted by Yoakustoms, which has the "Possessed" image on one side of the shoe, a legendary Luke Chueh painting sold at my Gallery almost 5 years ago. Check out the bloody mess...

First seen here.

Free Sundaes

Soooo...artist Simon Oxely (idokungfoo.com) supplied us with two signed digital prints of the Angry Ice Cream graphic he did for the new Clan relaunch tee, and since you check blogs on Sundays, I'll give you the chance to win one free. First two people to email me at tysongivens@gmail.com and supply me with the name of the actress who played Punky Brewster, get the print. 

Good luck.
