SNAKES ON A PLANE! FO REALZ

2009-10-28T11:56:00.005-04:00

This is pretty awesome. A man in Norway was found attempting to travel on the jet ways of the world with 14 royal pythons and 10 albino leopard geckos hidden on him. JESUS. Read below and check out the video.

"Customs officials in Norway have arrested a man who had 14 royal pythons and 10 albino leopard geckos hidden under his clothing. He had rolled up the pythons in socks and put the geckos inside boxes, and then taped them to his chest and legs. The animals had a total value of about $10,000.

While that's pretty high on the ick scale, the scariest thing is that officials didn't become suspicious until they did a routine check of his luggage and found a tarantula, at which point they searched him."

THE DEAD SEAS SHRINKING? THROW SOME D'S ON THAT BITCH

2009-10-11T14:18:00.000-04:00

What happens when one of your most popular attractions starts to feel the effects of the environment? Easy, fix it yourself with some salt! Despite concerns from environmentalists, Jordan is steaming ahead to refill the dead sea with salt to counter its depletion. The saltiest body of water in the world is said to be falling by almost 4 feet per year, raising concerns that the dead sea is dying. Environmentalists are concerned by adding more salt it will screw with the ecosystem, saying that the fish will flee, and McDonalds french fries will make habitat. I say fill it up unleaded, Jordan! Who the hell are these environmentalists anyways?

Enjoy.

Time for a new Drink Williamsburg ..

2009-09-17T16:53:00.000-04:00

Apparently the hipsters have made the not so cool drink Pabst's Blue Ribbon, into quite the commodity. PBR reported the drink is now more popular than ever, as sales are up 25% this year along. The ever so "alternative drink," has apparently been pushed mainstream by those who only indulge in things everyone else has never heard of. (You guys are so much better than the rest of society.) Or so they think. Well its time for a new beer guys, maybe we can move on to something a little more underground and cheaper, oh say "Milwaukee's Best." (I think the hippies already have that one though)

Enjoy.

By the way, NBC Chicago gives a description of a hipster which I thought was hilarious:

Usually found smoking European cigarettes and/or cloves, hipsters are known for their despise of anything "mainstream" and their fondness for irony. They listen to bands that no one has ever heard of and start fashion trends that are cool because of their "uncoolness", e.g., trucker hats or vintage plaid shirts.

The Jejune Institute?

2009-09-17T00:17:00.000-04:00

Octavio Coleman Esquire

(Founder of the Jejune Institute)

So while reading Juxtapoz the other day, I came across an advertisment for what looked to be a cult like society advertising different revolutionary products they have produced over the years. Their mission statement: " The Jejune Institute aims to maximize human potential through the continuing advancement of socio re-engineering methods across the geopolitical realm. We accomplish this through financial support, independent research, and experimental initiatives developed through our many international facilities". Interesting I thought at first, the world needs some socio re-engineering. The first product I came across was something called the 'Radionic Camera,' which claimed to take photographs of the future.

The Radionic Camera

I didn't even need to read the rest of the ad, as I'd been intrigued enough to visit their website and see what the hell was going on here. (www.jejuneinstitue.org) I suggest visiting the website and seeing this nonsense for yourself. Its quite enjoyable. After a little research, I found out that this is more of an art project in the Bay area of California. You can actually visit their location to which you will attend a seminar that involves a map and the Bay area. If your in the bay area, and want to play into this project, visit:

580 California St. Suite #1607

San Francisco, CA94104

Hours of operation: Noon - 5:30pm Tuesday - Sunday

BEAUTY/DEATH - SO MUCH IN COMMON

2009-09-16T11:25:00.000-04:00

So since its the end of NYC fashion week, I figured these images would be relevant. Japanese fashion illustrator, Fumie Sasbuchi, plays a lot with the subject of death while dealing with physical beauty. I love the way she still savors the beauty of these images despite the gruesome way death is taking over the physical.

If your in Berlin, check out her work:

Hello lovely

2009-09-16T01:22:00.000-04:00

Damn sweet thing, you're looking fine over there. Sun a little too hot for you, got that umbrella holding you down? Aw, well, if you feel like coming over here and sharing my shade, well that would be just fine pretty lady ...

Whalehawk in San Diego

2009-09-15T16:56:00.000-04:00

As much as we wanted to stay in Los Angeles, we had to leave. We piled back into the car for the trip down the coast to sunny San Diego.

Here we were lucky enough to get a blow up bed to stay on instead of the oh so comfortable Honda Element, thanks to my friend Dan and his girlfriend. We left a mark on what is known as the "little Italy" of San Diego.

We took a few pictures of the low flying planes over head, and then packed up shop and started the trip back East.

Except this time we were one hawk down... One of our friends, John, decided that life was better on the West coast, so we dropped him off at the bus station and moved on through the desert.

Whalehawk goes to Hollywood

2009-09-10T11:36:00.000-04:00

After a short stop in San Francisco we traveled down the West coast to the land of dreamers, Hollywood California. We met up with my friend Lex, he gave us a great idea for a shirt, I don't want to put it here but you will know it when you see it, so we thought he deserved a shout out on the blog.

Of course Lex showed us how to party LA style, so we did not really get much of a chance to take too many pictures, but before we left LA we obviously got a photo shoot in right off of Hollywood Blvd.

Does this back drop look familiar to you, see anyone you know?

Moe had a really rough night... here he is just chillin, trying not to loose his breakfast.

Next stop, San Diego.

Hawks in San Fran

2009-09-10T11:02:00.000-04:00

After the Hoover Dam we drove through the night to sunny San Francisco. First thing was first, we of course had to go and see the Golden Gate Bridge.

From the same spot that you can view the bridge you can also Alcatraz.. that is the island in the distance... check out that nice sticker on the sign... I wonder how that got there...

We decided to go for a hike in San Francisco Bay National Park. While in the park we discovered that there are numerous hawk that live, or at least hunt in the surrounding area, seemed like a perfect spot for a Whalehawk photo shoot.

What is that in the corner? The Whalehawk Mobile of course!! After the hike it was onto Los Angeles... what is that in the corner? The Whalehawk Mobile!!

WHALEHAWK SURF

2009-09-04T11:56:00.000-04:00

So while the rest of the team was slaying it in Vegas, WH photographer John Jensen came down to grab some shots of the Whalehawk surf team taking advantage as Hurricane Danny headed up the east coast towards their hometown of Long Beach, NY. Here at Whalehawk labs, were been starting to gain more focus on the SURF/SKATE/SNOW aspect of the company and are in the midst of sponsoring riders and putting together a Whalehawk team. I will post a link to the full album from that session shortly!

Hoover Dam

2009-09-02T22:24:00.000-04:00

While getting in the car to go to San Francisco we decided to take a detour and stop at the Hoover Dam. Upon arrival at the damn there was a security check point where they made us open up the top bag which we struggled to close the first time. Once inside we had our mission, to bring Whalehawk to yet another American icon. So we went to work.

Here is me and Moe setting up the sculpture, soon to be greeted by two federal agents. Apparently your not allowed to take pictures of the dam and use them for advertising without written consent from the federal government.. I do not consider this marketing soo its all good.. right?

Here we are taking care of the situation, we tried to give them stickers and flyers but they are not allowed to except such things.

We finally were able to get the pictures we were looking for, WHALEHAWK does the Hoover Dam!! Hell yeah!!

Even team Mexico was a fan of Whalehawk!

Dunk Exchange Las Vegas 2009

2009-09-02T21:39:00.000-04:00

Okay so the main event in Las Vegas for us, the Dunk Exchange!! There was a really good turn out to the event, as soon as the doors were opened I was rushed by 4 - 5 people all asking me different questions, I knew it was going to be a good day! Everyone seemed pretty interested our clothing, obviously. You can see our table set up.
Here we were hanging out with Plus Givens, an up and coming artist from Miami who really kills it, (check him out at www.myspace.com/plusgivensmusic) before he performed his set.

Here is Surag (who is known as the "sneaker ambassador of New York City) from The Sixth Boro kickin' it with Team Whalehawk.
The show was a success and Vegas seemed to really dig Whalehawk Laboratories!!
Next stop, San Francisco.

Hiking at Red Rock

2009-09-02T21:21:00.000-04:00

After losing most of our money at the casinos we decided to take a hike at Red Rock National Reserve. John and I went for the hike, it was pretty awesome; it was so quite that I could hear the wind blow slowly past my ear. The silence was unreal. John was way more adventurous than I was, he is crazy -- I will just leave it at that.

The off the strip club for mostly locals in Las Vegas

2009-08-29T14:38:00.000-04:00

This is the club that I was referring to in the previous post. This was not the only group dance -- there were like 5 or 6 other times where you had to know how to dance to the song in order to go on the dance floor. AND they don't let you bring your drinks on the floor -- that doesn't make me want to dance...

Whalehawk in Vegas -- part 1

2009-08-29T14:22:00.000-04:00

We are now in vegas and are getting ready for the Dunk Exchange that takes place tomorrow. We went out last night to this casino and every single drink was a dollar! We took a roll with our luck on the craps table and everyone but Moe was a winner -- although he came back big at the end. Black Jack was next and Mike and Tim (our friend we are staying with) ended up making out big on those tables. After the casino we ended up going to some club where they had line dancing -- it was pretty weird to us -- even Moe thought so, so it must have been weird. I am not knocking it, but it is just not what we are use to! Of course we threw up a sticker or two...

Denver, Colorado

2009-08-28T16:35:00.000-04:00

The mile high city was pretty cool, a little quiet and very clean. The people were nice and the views were incredible. We were lucky enough to stop in a little town called Eagle and met up with some locals and hung out down by the river -- it was pretty random but cool at that. After a short stay, we were back in the car and on our way to our first major destination, Vegas.

St. Louis Gateway Arch

2009-08-27T05:00:00.000-04:00

After a rainy day in Chicago we made a quick stop in St. Louis to check out the great gateway arch !
we had some food and drinks at fridays and are now back on the road to Denver l

Starbucks break

2009-08-26T19:01:00.000-04:00

Of course we had to stop for a little Starbucks, where we seemed to stir up some attention from, not only the Starbuck's employee that had to be nice, but also by a stranger who approached us in the car; that we now know as Paul. Here is a pic of the nice girl at the Starbucks in Bolingbrook, Illinois.

Chicago, Illinois

2009-08-26T18:25:00.000-04:00

We left Cleveland in the morning and arrived in the windy city this afternoon. Unfortunately it started to drizzle, but a little rain would not detour our photo shoot. Check out the rest of the pictures on our Facebook photo album www.facebook.com/whalehawk ! Next stop St. Louis...

Whalehawk heading to Vegas!

2009-08-26T13:10:00.000-04:00

So after picking up the Team Whalehawk truck, Whalehawk starts their journey driving across the US. Our first stop was Cleveland Ohio, we set up shop and took some pictures outside of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. -- Now we are back in the car and on our way to Chicago! Keep on the lookout for Whalehawk in a city near you.
