Incase is known for the durable, functional cases for electronics. Shepard Fairey is the street artist who made graffiti more acceptable in mainstream society by creating some of the most enduring cultural memes in modern times. Hence, the Incase x Shepard Fairey collaboration presents backpacks, iphone and laptop cases in the style of OBEY illustrations. “The artworks that comprise my series for Incase all overtly or sublimely reflect the concept of Peace. Peace seems like a simple idea, but evidence of its fragility is far too visible. I believe peace, beauty, and harmony are not only related, but intertwined. Visual symbols of peace manifest similarly in many different cultures, transcending language and reminding us of the basic loves and needs we all have in common. Peace is a struggle, but whether the images are ornamental, hopeful, or cautionary, this series promotes harmony.” – Shepard Fairey
Hurry up if you want one of these limited edition cases because we only have one left at the store!

Chef’s Favorite Burger
It makes sense that Sawtelle aka Little Osaka is filled with an array of asian restaurants… but c’mon it’s 2012 and we should expand our horizons beyond ramen and tofu. Plan Check is a swanky blueprint-themed hamburger joint, named after the nearby LA Building and Safety Department. Ernesto Uchimura, former executive chef at Umami Burger, created ketchup leather which is a solidified sheet of ketchup (think of a ketchup flavored fruit roll-up) that retains the tomato flavor in place without saturating the Portuguese-style bun. Alison and I went on a lunch date there to check it out. She got Chef’s Favorite Burger while I ordered the PCB. Um my mouth is starting to water just writing this post.
I am all about finding new ways of accenting a room with something creative. After discovering Cardboard Safari, my stomach got butterflies. Though I wouldn’t have the nerve to go out and claim my own animal trophy in the wilderness, Cardboard Safari gave me the perfect alternative. The materials are all recycled and non-toxic cardboard, and super easy to assemble. Before you know it, you could have a new light weight exotic piece in white or brown.
Apart from the trophies, Cardboard Safari also create full body animals, as well as wreaths. Here at Black Market I adore the skull wreath, but then again I am a sucker for skull art. The biggest delight of all was being able to admire the depth of how far you can push the already awesome design. If you don’t care for the white or brown, you can paint them to any color you wish! I have seen what Snow and Graham have done with their trophy by adding their own daisy print on it. The sky is the limit with all the color combinations and patterns one can do.
