Upper Playground has been supporting street artists in its stores and galleries for ten years, so it only makes sense that they would start stocking the tools to make the art. At the Upper Playground web store’s new department for graffiti supplies, you can now buy spray paint, markers and fatcaps from Montana and Krink. This should be great news for the homecoming of UP alumni, David Choe. He’s currently doing a stint in China and recently blogged about all the cheap watery paint.

The colorfully designed world of Steven Harrington is a place we’d like to inhabit. While we may not be able to jump inside his 1960’s Time-Life encyclopedia influenced creations ourselves, Mr. Harrington and the folks over at Arkitip have done us a solid by collaborating on a new set of laptop and iPhone cases. The partnership marks the third installment in the Curated by Arkitip series for Incase (which previously included the KRINK sleeve), aimed at turning the mundane carrying case into portable artwork. We’d say they’ve succeeded yet again.

It’s a story that runs on repeat: Apple releases a new product and you buy it, then you drop it, spill orange juice on it, keys scratch it and then think why didn’t I get a case? The cases at the Apple store tend to be fairly lame, so we feel that is our responsibility to point you to Foof. Food makes sleeves for your Apple gear, laptops, iPods and iPhones (even the brand new stuff). The fabric sleeves use a range of unique materials that puts you one up the thousands of Macs at your local coffee shop. The sleeves range from $21 to $27 which is a total steal and you will only thank us for it when your laptop doesn’t get ruined. Check out their gorgeous designs and protect that hardware.

First, Incase surprised us with their incredibly relevant, timely, and bad ass KRINK/Arkitip collaboration laptop sleeve. Next up, they’re collaborating with Dutch artist Parra. Known for combining bright colors and his mastery of fonts (and in this case it looks like great embroideries), I think we’re really in for a treat. The product will be available for sale in the Arkitip curated section online on the 24th of October. And we can’t wait to see what they do, and who they work with next.

There’s no chill in the air just yet, but we can sense it coming. You better face the fact it’s going to be winter soon, and with that comes prime snowboarding weather. Why not celebrate the imminent frosty season by grabbing yourself new deck? The masterminds at Monument Snowboards (or MNMT) have just what you’re looking for with their new line of boss boards for ‘08-’09, featuring some seriously sick designs from a slew of talented artists such as KRINK, Kime Buzzelli, and Todd Tourso. In additon to their top gear, MNMT has also launched a brand new site that allows you to take a gander at both the brand’s hard and soft goods, check out a few blogs, and become part of the Monument consortium by signing up for their newsletter.

If you’re a firm believer that your laptop case says as much about you as the content of your computer’s character, perhaps you should stop lugging around your Macbook in that purple crushed velvet sleeve — it’s so 30 years ago. Instead you should consider toting your prized ‘puter in the choice new case collaboration curated by Arkitip. It combines the quality craftsmanship of Incase with the signature drip print that could only come from a design mind like KRINK. If you’re not convinced that this is the case for your hardware, we recommend taking a sneak peak at the process of putting together this unique piece of techno-luggage for your MacBook. Then head over to the Arkitip store and grab your own before they sell out.
