R.I.P. Dennis Hopper (Actor, Artist, Photographer)

So Dennis Hopper passed away today at the age of 74 due to complications from prostate cancer. Hopper was a legendary actor who had memorable roles in films like Easy Rider, Blue Velvet and Apocalypse Now. What you might not know is that he was an accomplished photographer and painter with close ties to art legends like Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Willem De Kooning, and Ed Ruscha. These are some of my favorites of Hopper's photos.

Huf Footwear Comercials

I'm getting a serious case of homesickness watching these commercials for Huf Footwear. I definitely recognize a lot of the spots and can almost feel the wheels under my feet as I imagine riding through the streets of SF on a sunny day.

Ellen Stagg & Living Proof Custome Skateboard

Londons Famous Double Decker Buses Get Moderized

London's iconic double-decker buses are getting a design upgrade (and greener powerplants), as revealed today on the city of London's website. Scheduled to go into service in 2012, the new bus boasts a more "light and airy feel inside the bus" due to extensive use of glass, including along the staircases (there's two), and a "hop-on, hop-off" platform has been added to the rear.
