Cut & Sewn | Maestro X Hall Of Fame
Levi Maestro has been killing it the last two years with his Maestro Knows project. Single handedly changed the idea of a blog/video series. Changing it for the better, while incorporating a bunch of genres (music, skateboarding, fashion, streetwear) into one big project all while documenting his life. His style, uniqueness and creativity can not be taught in a book or class room. Maestro is an artist in his own genre that noone can duplicate.
His creativity can not only be used in a blog or video, but also in fashion and streetwear. He has released quite a few collaborations this year, with the likes of: Los Angeles jeweler Shayan Afshar, 13TH Witness, and Yue Wu. Each having it's own hype and story behind the product. Recently, Maestro teamed up with Hall Of Fame to produce this sweatshirt:
Maestro has always been a huge supporter of Hall Of Fame, supporting them as a shopper... as well as an occasional visit during a Maestro Knows episode. I love collaborations with a story behind the product and when they work flawlessly together. This sweater is that case, everything about it is cool and original. The front logo gives off a simplistic look to the piece, while the back tells the entire story "Making My Way To The Hall Of Fame". At the rate Levi Maestro is working and progressing... I wouldn't be surprised if they made a "Hall Of Fame" for him.

Fotography Fridays | Ricky Powell
Ricky Powell has changed photography forever. Documenting some of the most iconic and memorable moments of the 80's and 90's. This NYC photographer was a huge part of pop culture and help bring up some of the biggest names in hip hop and entertainment with a snap. He brought the candid approach to most of his unique and iconic photos. Capturing some of the biggest names in entertainment: Beastie Boys, Run DMC, Slick Rick, Method Man, Easy-E, Chris Walken, and Cindy Crawford (to name a few). Capturing moments on tour, and in unique settings. He is most known for his endless amount of work with the Beastie Boys. His work stacks up to over 10 years... he famously was the alleged 4th member of the iconic hip hop group.
Local Saskatoon photographers: Chad Coombs, Geoff Warrington, and 1 Take Photography will also be showcasing their work. Support your local!
Fotography Fridays | Atiba Jefferson
When you think of Atiba Jefferson, you think of the best skateboard photographers of all-time. He has captured some of the most iconic and memorable moments in skateboarding, while making them look flawless. Maybe I was just a little too focused or uneducated? Little did I know, he has worked with some of the biggest non-skateboarding brands in the world (Pepsi, ESPN, Adidas, and Nike ...too name a few). As well as, some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment (Kanye West, Lebron James, Shaun White, Eric Koston, Reggie Bush, and Snoop Dogg... too name a few). I find it mind boggling: that he finds enough time to share his art with so many different audiences. Still being the best at whatever he does, he is a natural behind the lens.
Not only does he spend time doing photography, some of his down time is spent skating and playing in The Goat & The Occasional Others. Check out some of my favorites:
Andrew Reynolds// Frontside Flip// Vancouver "Go Skateboarding Day" 2009
This is probably one of my all time favorite skate photo's. Two beasts doing what they do best.
Paul Rodriguez Jr.
Basically the Michael Jordan of skateboarding. Have you seen his Plan B part?!
Allen Iverson// The Pursuit Of Happiness // SLAM Magazine Issue #107
I actually have had this in my bedroom for three and a half years now, I was a huge Allen Iverson fan. I used to get a subscription to the magazine every year, I did not know Atiba took the photo.
Kanye West
Lupe Fiasco
This is rad. I think this was around when 'Food & Liquor' was released. Before he became a household name.
Hollywood Fires
I want this in a frame.
Lake
Love the colours.
Fans in the desert
I was in Palm Springs in the summer, and there were a ridiculous amount of these.
This could be a movie poster or album art. So dope.
Fotography Fridays | Ryan Lusteg
I just found out about Lusteg's work about a week or so ago. I really like his art. He doesn't really have a set style of photography. Some photographers are really good at capturing feelings, some are good at capturing unique situations. It's pretty cool that he is super well known for his work in the skate world, but then I checked out his other works. And this is what intrigued me:
Anciet Mayan Cenote - This is so fucking cool. I love the colours.
Bird - Almost looks like a painting. Colours are crazy.
BJ the Chicago Kid - Reminds me of summer.
Jamie Thomas - This is my favorite skate photo. Reminds me of skateboarding all alone in my garage, good times.
Levi Maestro - Super dope photo, I like the way he captured feeling.
Levi Maestro - I guess this was shot in Hawaii. I like the irony: "Under Achieving Loners". ahha
Levi Maestro - Another dope photo in Hawaii at sunset.
Mycole - Remember him?
Nelly the mouse - I hope this is a pet.
Award Tour "Friends & Family" Lookbook Video - Filmed&Edited by: Vinny Piccone
This video is so hype. It makes me feel like I was there. I'm going to for sure pick up a couple tee's on the re-release this week.
It's really inspiring watching a bunch of creator's make such an impact on such a large market(Streetwear/Fashion) with such a minimal-istic idea. Treating it as an artform and lifestyle, rather then a way to make money.
ListenUp is working on its clothing designs as we speak, and I can assure you. We are treating this as an artform, and we are going to make ever detail count.

As you may already know, I am a huge fan of 13th WITNESS. He is probably one of the best young creators right now. He is an animal behind the lens. Here is a few of my many favorites:
