Mumble Love
A perfect example of how many people Beau had made an affect on while with us. A blog that we started to read regularly a long time ago was kind enough to give dear friend Beau a shout out after his passing. Amber Bignell had some true to heart things to say. we’ll all miss him Amber.

I first met this magic maker when a crew of us went tubing. Within the small amount of time hanging, she expressed to me the importance of seeing a shaman and finding out my spirit animal, as well as made me realize how cool a giraffe hair bracelets are. Well Lindsay doesn’t just preach the spirit world and float down rivers, she also makes these super badass CLOAKS. Made from a variety of...

Beau gave me my first tattoo over at Saved, and that’s pretty much one of the first time’s i met him. Little did I know that the tattoo dedicated to my late great poodle “Ginger” I grew up with, would later take a double meaning,...

Using a heat sensitive glass enclosure, Sony asked Australian designer Tai Chiem to invest some time in the new PS4. God only knows what this guy will be capable of. I’m guessing it doubles as a hovercraft or beer bong.

BEAST : Bob Peak
Bob Peaks knows what the fuck he’s doing. He killed it in the 70’s/80’s with his illustration skills. With those high contrasts and powerfully trippy color mixes, the result is always epic enough to hype films like Apocalypse Now and Enter the Dragon. Thats not all he did of course, he kills it in all realms of illustration. For example, Sports Illustrated sent him on...
