KRINK



Here is the new release from NYC's ink master KRINK. Krink used to only offer the signature silver color, but now they come in assorted colors as displayed above and work like a charm. I had the pleasure of obtaining a few of these from my fellow friend Faro of the ADHD crew who has been an avid user of this product. I have not had the chance of using the markers just yet but the squeeze bottles are definitely a fine purchase for you graff heads out there. The squeeze bottle gives you the freedom of controlling how much ink is dispersed while leaving your mark. I personally prefer seeing it drip to the ground, but to each his own. For more information on this product please visit: www.krink.com

New NYC Transit Graffiti Squad


Photo by: DelMundo for News

So the city of New York has decided to spend an absurd amount of money trying to "erase the graffiti plague". Sometimes I wonder what the hell the city is thinking, we really don't need to erase any graffiti, it's part of our city and has been for ages it is what actually defines New York City. Would the city erase the scrawls left behind by our ancestors, probably not but they seem to want to do that now. Our world should not be a sterile, clean and pristine environment, this type of look lacks the feeling of culture and life! I love seeing the scrawls left around the city it makes me feel like there are people with ambition to do more with their lives than sit in an office and work till they die. LONG LIVE GRAFFITI!!!!!!

Rémy Martin's louis XIII (Black Pearl)



Louis XIII de Rémy Martin – the King of Cognacs – is the highest quality cognac in the world. Rémy Martin recently introduced the ultimate in luxury: the limited edition Louis XIII de Rémy Martin Grande Champagne Cognac Black Pearl.

This rare and unique release of the Black Pearl is limited to 786 decanters. The cognac was specially selected from the family’s personal reserve at the historical estate Le Grollet in the Heart of the Cognac region of France. The Cognac retails in some locations for up to $50,000. The Black Pearl decanter is a one-of-a-kind hand-blown Baccarat crystal that sparkles with platinum accents.

The Black Pearl harbours at its heart Louis XIII cognac, the world’s most precious blends from the Grande Champagne, made from 1,200 eaux-de-vie, some of which are over 100 years old. Its connoisseurs include Elton John and Queen Elizabeth II, who was served Louis XIII de Rémy Martin Grande Champagne Cognac in Versailles Palace in honour of her 1957 visit to France. It was also the favourite cognac of Christian Dior and Winston Churchill, who celebrated his election victory with it in 1951.



This the Louis XIII de Rémy Martin original bottle without the Baccarat touch. This bottle retails in most locations for around $1400

New Apple Store!









The New Apple store located on W 14th St and 9th Ave is one big apple. The place is beautiful, once housing the popular eatery Spice Market is now renovated and given the apple design touch. The Infamous apple glass staircase has been sent through a vortex of gusty winter winds and spiraled 3 stories to accommodate the 3 massive floors of apple products for the general public to drool over. All I can say is that I will be there this weekend using the free internet on computers I couldn't afford.

Big Apple Banksy


Banksy hits the big apple in a big way.


The show opened at 1 pm, by 1:45 there was a 20 minute line already waiting to get into the doors.


This is refreshing, I just wish that everytime I lied to the police they didn't beat me.


Here is a look into the galleries interior, and it's onlookers.

This past Sunday was the opening of a Banksy show at the Vanina Holasek Gallery (502 W 27th St) in Chelsea.There was quite the turnout for the man known as Banksy. His art can be found all over the world, from elaborately detailed street stencils to his personal paintings hand placed in world renown museums. Banksy has become an art-world celebrity by his high-profile pranks despite the fact that few people even know who he is.

He once smuggled his pieces into Tate Britain, Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), The Brooklyn Museum and the American Museum of Natural History. Some of the pieces went undetected for several days.Some say he is a genius others a terrorist but either way he’s leaving his mark in damn noticable way.To see more of his work visit: www.banksy.co.uk
