Sometimes, things with overtly logical titles turn out to be the greatest. Take, for example, ‘Radiohead’ or ‘The Beatles’. With the first trailer for Blind Skateboards’ “DAMN…” making waves upon its release, the company has released a second, more in-depth preview of their upcoming video. With the legendary Mike Manzoori as chief filmer behind the lens, Blind has seen several improvements to its aesthetic that make the full-length seem a sleeper hit – especially in a summer that also anticipates the Plan B video. Here we find the likes of Kevin Romar, late-flipper Sewa Kroetkov, and a post-Think Skateboards Cody McEntire, all raring to unveil new hammers to the public. The video is set for a May 27 release, and is available for pre-order on iTunes now.

When everything is said and done, Takashi Murakami will undoubtedly go down as one of the most influential artists of our time. After receiving a Master’s in Nihonga painting from Tokyo University of the Arts, Murakami went on to develop a unique style influenced by the canon of Japanese art. Over the course of a generation, we’ve witnessed the results: psychedelic, animated illustrations that defy realism and test the limits of artistic imagination. To commemorate a 20-year relationship with the artist, Galerie Perrotin held a solo exhibition in Hong Kong: Murakami’s 9th in the perpetually growing metropolis. Enjoy photos of the exhibit above, which features new work by Mr. DOB, Murakami’s famed alter ego. The solo exhibition runs through July 6.
