Be-Street Magazine France!
December 11th, 2009 by timonthy
Bon Jour!
My man Benny from Be-Street Magazine sent me this epic piece of illustration. It appears in the newest issue of Be-Street, Issue # 7. They have reworked on some really famous biblical illustrations from one of the most famous illustrations of Gustave Doré. Basically they remixed Gustavos biblical illustration themes with some fresh clothing pieces.. Credit goes out to the french illustrator PlaymoO who’s the talent behind the illustrations.
On this first page, they had a push on the angel with a CTRL x STADIUM jacket !
Cover flows swell with MISHKA keeping watch!
Illustration is pretty sick…
They also did a VIDEO that’s definitely worth checking!
Thanks Benjamin for the look outs! Really appreciate it!
Paz!

REEDE - Tallinn - fuzzy timess….
December 2nd, 2009 by timonthy
Tanel, our homie in Tallinn sent over some sweet B.F flicks from a closing party that he threw at the old REEDE in beautiful Tallinn. If you don’t know about REEDE and you’re headig over to the old Hansa Town in Tallinn, it’s definitely worth checking out. Tanel is keeping it clean as always with a top notch selections from brands like Wood Wood, Henrik Vibskov, CTRL, Stüssy, Krew, Adidas, Vans, Krink, Arkitip, good selection of skateboards and hardware + all the other small details that enlighten your existence as an individual. This is a bit of old news, but hey, better late than never. REEDE has moved to a bigger location at the new concept mall downtown called the SOLARIS!
Some flicks taken with an old Olympus Mju and Tanels sharp eye…
They had a band from Latvia playing there… Everyone was loving the violinist, even the chicks. She’s on the left…
I was digging the drinks….
A bit too much perhaps… My brain was like an old LP that was stuck on one track saying Gin Tonic, Gin Tonic, skreek, Gin Tonic, Gin Tonic, skreek…
Freeman was digging the free ride…
Go check out the new REEDE or we’ll kill you! Hah, not really.. It’s Xmas soon for Christs sake. We have to be nice and behave now…

Helsinki - Home of CTRL - World Design Capital 2012!
November 27th, 2009 by timonthy
Helsinki, the cradle and beloved home city of CTRL was recently elected as the Design Capital of the world, universe and milky way for the year 2012! Big Up! We suck at football and won’t probably ever be the hosts of the W.C… Well, footballs need design, and the layouts, logo’s, stadiums, interiors, buses, metros, tickets, soda cups, merchandise and well.. I guess anything and everything from space , object, visual, auditive in our day to day life should carry the thought of being aesthetic, be utterly functional and practical in use.
This is a base for Finnish thinking, so the fact that we’re the design capital in 2012 is something well earned!
Big up to each and every individual and collective that made this happen! Great job! Massive congratulations from CTRL to HELSINKI!
Thank you Design Forum Finland + Thank you CHINA!
November 27th, 2009 by timonthy

Thanks for everyone we met along the way, thanks China, thanks Finland - World Peace!
