“AJ Fosik’s eclectic handmade and intricately designed wood animal sculptures and paintings, combined with cryptic symbols, intrigue and provoke. Inspired by subversive cultural influences which shift complacency, he creates pieces that suspend comfort while at the same time offer recognizable symbols and images. In this dynamic tension the art and the viewer hopefully come together in an expanded definition of culture and assumption.”
I’m proud to share that GOSK8 has officially hit the market! The GOSK8 app is a new tool to play the traditional game of skate. We went to great lengths to spice the game up by adding three different skill levels (basic, medium, advanced) and four obstacle options (ledge, manual, transition, flat-ground), making it the only skate application of its kind.
GOSK8 is a true test of a skateboarders skill, ability and consistency. Instead of each skater performing tricks they are comfortable with (as in a traditional game of s.k.a.t.e.), skaters must physically perform whichever trick is determined by the “trick wheel”, which can be anything thing from a list of hundreds of tricks on different obstacles.
Professional skateboarder Danny Gonzalez had this to say about the Application” I love this app. The design is fresh and it doesn’t freeze like other apps. By adding in different skill levels and obstacles it makes an otherwise basic game of skate a lot more challenging”.
GOSK8 can be played on any iPhone or iPod Touch and is guaranteed to make any session at any spot more fun. For more info visit www.gosk8app.com

With all the love we give mixtapes and remixes, you could understand how excited we got when we stumbled upon web activist and filmmaker Brett Gaylor’s new documentary RIP: A Remix Manifesto. Andrew Kimmell and I watched this the other night and it is straight up awesome to watch. The basis of the argument is plotted around mash-up king “Girl Talk” and the copyrights he is breaking while creating his ‘art.’ Expect to learn about the fucked up laws that are in place in America, who is trying to stop it, and why you should care. You can download the movie directly from the RIP website under my favorite payment method…PAY WHAT YOU WANT! ($0 to $1000, you decide.) I see this popping up more and more these days, props to Radiohead for pathing the way for independent musicians, filmmakers and artists alike! Click Below..

While we at BDN have been mourning the loss of the ‘King of Pop’ all weekend with epic dance parties and MJ video marathons, we decided to bring back a mixtape put out by Ryhmefest and Mark Ronson a few years back entitled “Man in the Mirror.” While 9 of the 10 top selling albums on iTunes right now are MJ’s, this lil freebie is also well worth a listen if you missed it.
then peep this Best of Michael Mix also on datpiff…
And finally, here are a few other tribute mixtapes
that have come out in the days following his death from J. Period, DJ Slimm, Mick Boogie & Cookin’ Soul. (Via 2dopeboys)
Here are two very simplistic animations I found from artist Richard McGuire who was one of the graphic designers that collaborated on the very cool, under-the-radar film: “Fears of the Dark.” In addition to his animation work, Richard is the founder and bass player of the band Liquid Liquid. He is a regularly contributing artist to the The New Yorker magazine, has created comics, and written/illustrated children’s books.
