A Los Angeles Chinese antique store turned art exhibition space will play host to an ink drawing and sculpture show that conjures up memories of MC Escher’s layered drawings (if Escher used color and submarine themes). Kiel Johnson’s solo show The Awesomist Tomorrow opens on Satuday, September 6, and will remain in POVevolving’s Chung King Road space throughout September. The artist, who has collaborated on collections for designer Todd Oldham, has shown his wood and painted paper creations at myriad contemporary museums in L.A. and New York. Angelinos are in for some imaginative eye candy in Johnson’s cardboard radios and 3D survival vest. The show’s location is similarly multifaceted: when it’s not showing up-and-coming artists’ work, POVevolving also serves as a figure drawing class space and studio for yoga studio and archival printing. But of course.

It’s finally September and unfortunately that means it’s time to “Fall” out of Summer. Get it? Sorry. Anyway, the best part about a new season is the onslaught of spanking new collections that some of our favorite brands are set to unleash. Amongst the array of apparel makers making our autumn a little more bearable are the talented designers at Pop Junkie. The Santa Barbara based clothing creators have come up with quite the autumnal assortment of tees, totes, jackets, clocks, and even pillows that are sure to make your seasonal adjustment period just a little more comfortable and a lot more stylish. If you’re still jonesin’ for summer they even have some of their past designs on sale for as much as $10 off. Check out their website and see it for yourself.

The beat genius behind classic acts like Cypress Hill, Funkdoobiest, and GZA’s ‘Grandmasters’ record, the one and only DJ Muggs, is on a brand new attack with Planet Asia, whose burgeoning career began with the amazing Cali Agents.

As one of the godfathers of the golden age beat, Muggs’ catalog displays unusual diversity and openmindedness, unlike his often pigeonholed counterparts. While the Primo formula was hot, it never changed, and while RZA evolved, his venturings outside the realm of hip hop were limited. Muggs has delved into trip hop soundscapes and is now back in the grimy boom bap like never before.

Pain Language bangs hard. The LP, due out September 16th, features appearances by B-Real, Killah Priest, Scratch (formerly of The Roots) and Prodigal Sunn, among others. As is the practice today, there is a mixtape floating around out there to hype this release. While it can’t measure up to the power of the actual record, it might just give you a good taste of what’s coming.

We aren’t telling you what the blank stands for and neither is Fred Terral, the designer of this great new print “____ The Planet.” The idea is that you have to make that decision, rather your actions make the decision. Obviously, politics have been swimming around our heads as much as anyone lately, so we keep finding ourselves at the Alternative Motivational Poster website for our inspiration (especially during the RNC). Have a look at some really great prints with a progressive message and cheap prices. And just because it wouldn’t be appropriate otherwise, everything from the ink to the tube used for postage is made from environmentally responsible products.

That sexy, sleek laptop is no doubt indicative of your stylish swagger, you’re only so chic as the accessories you keep. So what are you doing toting around your computer in tired old carrying case? Your accessories are an extension of yourself and what are you if not ever so spiffy. It’s time you corrected your slight oversight and supplied yourself with a bag as sharp as you are. We suggest checking out some goods from Knomo. The British brand’s perfectly precious and practical computer bags have just become available in the United States and are ready to take fashion forward techies by storm.
