Gorillaz feat. Mos Def & Bobby Womack - Stylo (Trailer)
I really hate trailers for music videos, like what the hell is that about exactly. A 30 second trailer doesn't give you enough of the video or song to really give a shit about either one unless your a die hard fan but anyway here's a brand new trailer for the first single from the Gorillaz's featuring Mos Def and Bobby Womach.
Don't forget about their upcoming album Plastic Beach due March 8th!!!

BRENT NOLASCO’S CUSTOM REBEL INK
There is nothing more important when designing custom toys than paying attention to the tiny details which artist Brent Nolasco does very well. The mohawk, wings, and bandanna are awesomely accurate, Brent was commissioned to create this vinyl for Usugrow, and it's very limited (shit if you find one let me know).

R.I.P. Alexander McQueen
Via Complex:Brilliant and beloved British designer Alexander McQueen was found dead in his London home this morning. He was only 40. Raised in London’s working-class East End neighborhood, McQueen was the son of a taxi driver and left school at 16 to pursue a career in fashion. The scrappy youth honed his tailoring chops along the “golden mile of tailoring” at London’s tony Savile Row and throughout his always magnificent and sometimes outrageous seasons (crushed beetle and human hair outfits anyone?), even his most ardent detractors couldn’t deny that dude could sew.

Dante's Inferno is Awesome!!!
I had the opportunity to watch Dante's Inferno anime which awesome in everyway possible. This is one of the best game - movie crossover's that i've seen, the graphics are amazing, the story is awesome, and it's really cool how the characters physically change as the story progresses (giving each of the six masterful directors a chance to make the characters how they see them). I'm actually interested in playing the game now, shouts out to Bobbito for sending this to my inbox!!!

The Fly Lab Presents: MIKO
A tiny robot by the name of Miko was the very first robot created by scientists at The Fly Lab. A lead scientist at the Lab designed the robot after a puppy that his daughter (now deceased) had when she was a child.

Stealing Fame
The Robots here at The Fly Lab have just created what I think will be the first Fly Lab print dropping in March.

Clockwork Love by Tjep
When I was a kid I used to take watches apart but I never could figure out how to put them back together so I have a real respect for the work of Tjep:Clockwork Love builds further on the Bling Bling pendant designed by Tjep. for Chi Ha Paura...? Launched in 2002, it was constructed from several layers of overlapping logos. Clockwork Love is a jewelry collection evenly and consistently combining a great multitude of graphic elements in a multitude of layers. The main body of this collection presented in Gallery Ra in Amsterdam consists of 6 timepieces expressing different 'heart moods' through the liberal use of symbolic references, the collection of pendants link up to such themes as fragility, passion, uncertainty and desire.
