FOUND FUNCTIONS: New York photographer, Nikki Graziano, takes pictures of natural settings and finds functions within the compositional elements. Very nice set. via Wired.

OF HOOPTYS AND HOVERCRAFTS: El-P posted on the Def Jux website today that he is shutting it down as a traditional record label. So much good came out of those guys over the past 10 years.

SUCKS: The Market Street Pearl is where I go to get art supplies. The employees are dicks and the products are not always the cheapest, but there is always parking in the Tenderloin around the time I get off work. It’s shitty that they are shutting down.

LOGAN HILL: Clean, clean black and white portraits and a good looking photo blog. via Dave’s blog, FrameSF.

NIKE X SKATE MENTAL: Late on this Skate Mental x Nike microsite that was put up in December. The video and pic galleries are worth a look.

FLORA GRUBB GARDENS: Checked out Flora Grubb Gardens for the first time over the weekend. Fucking loved it. There is coffee on site and the vertical succulent panels look so good in person. More photos via a Flickr search.

IT’S GOING TO GET WORSE: Hamburger Eyes just added some new tees to their shop. Need to get on this one.

EMIL KOZAK UPDATE: It looks like Emil Kozak updated the work on his site. It includes some solid work for Nike and Salomon. The F/W lookbook is the highlight. He also added a photo blog.

HEY HO: Killer typography out of the French studio, Hey Ho. This is the one for me. via Scott Hansen’s ISO50 blog.

JEFF DIVINE: A little more retro from M + B. Their space looks super nice. Fucking Gerry’s got styles.

THE THING NEEDS FLASH: The web with no Flash. Daring Fireball summary on the current state. ArsTechnica on HTML5 Video. Mark Cuban’s thoughts. | eg. Fecal Face’s main navigation. Inventory Magazine. HUF. Adidas Skateboarding. etc.

MANY ARTISTS THAT DO ONE THING: A new portfolio from Mawdot. Good stuff all around. My highlights include this illustration set and this awesome project which involves creating art while on the can (note that the individual project links are iframe specific).

VIKTOR VAUTIER: A perfect example of Blogger used correctly. All series, tons to look at, so good. He has a Vimeo channel too. I like this one. via Punks Git Cut.

BRADFORD GREGORY: Get prints by New York photographer on the cheap. His ful portfolio site is here. Blog here. via Hammerheadsharkattack.
