During a recent trip to Montreal, I got to visit with Justin R. Saunders, a former graffiti-kid turned style influencer who's attracted a global following with his blog JJJJound -- a carefully edited selection of images that span fashion, design, architecture, women and more. Not only has Justin spawned numerous imitators, he's also attracted many fans, including brands like Shepard Fairey's OBEY and the influential fashion magazine Self Service.
He recently launched a virtual retail space and will be unveiling some interesting projects under his L'Atelier J umbrella in the coming months. If you are in Old Montreal, stop by ROONEY where you can find a selection of products selected by the man himself.

I recently teamed up with Chicago's SUPERFUN crew for a little summer poster fun.
The crew, who also run the esteemed RSVP Gallery in Wicker Park, have been gaining momentum through their weekly parties, blogs and online video content. See more images here.

Busy times here, as evidenced by the lack of blog posts since last month's party. If you are in the city, join us tomorrow night at submercer when we welcome old friend Taka aka Zero Chaser for a night of good music. ]]>
One of the best apps I've seen, Instagram allows you to create amazing images with the iPhone and then participate in a Twitter-like feed with your friends. Follow me at tyleraskew. ]]>

Bekko Candy is a really creative way to raise money to help with the relief effort in Japan. ]]>
As relief efforts continue in Japan, its amazing to see the outpouring of support from the creative community in NYC. A big shout out to Alex from Tokyo who threw an amazing event last weekend.
