I’ve been asked by the nice guys at 55DSL to blog on a Tumblr they’ve set up for myself and a few others they’ve selected as their’favourite bloggers in the world’, which is funny because my favourite blogger in the world is Kev Lynn. Anyhow, I’m going to blogging all sorts of stuff on there, maybe even link it to my Blackberry and post photos of drunk girls at Zoo? I searched through some of the other blogs they have asked to take part in the collective and I stumbled across this class blog run by a girl in London who take photos of herself wearing wicked trainers. Not bad eh?

Van’s have recently refurbished their Carnaby Street store in London, and to co-incide they held a little soiree which showcased the recent fundraising for the Teenage Cancer Trust, called Vans ‘Teenage Kicks’. The event involved various currently relavent celebrities customising a pair of Vans’ slip-on however they saw fit, with the finished article going on ebay on the 1st September, and the resulting profits handed over to the Teenage Cancer Trust. Breaks were there and check some photos after the jump, as well as a photo of Grizzle from the Daily Street working some moves on a real life lady.

Some of you may know that I used to have a blog called ‘Ill Thought Actions’, which was, let’s face it, sporadically updated at best. I’ve decided to scrap that and incorporate that into the Breaks, so you can now find it by clicking on the ‘Tom ‘ link above.

I appear to have amassed another load of portraits I’ve taken on my trusty 35mm SLR camera, I now have over 100 that I like, and I’m not really sure what to do with them? In the meantime however, here is as good place as any, so hit the link so see the fourth dump of my bumbling photo skills.

Come this Friday, Reign is launching in Newcastle. It’s not your average club night, and is more of a music slash arts project, tying in loads of friends and influences, most of which are friends of the Breaks, like Fantome for example, who drew the flyer and brand identity of the night. Devon from Decibel will be the resident, and as you may have now guessed, Breaks Of 10 has a large part in the night. We will be throwing monthly parties there, with some special appearances from some of our friends, and a Vs. night against our blog brothers at the Daily Street.

Keep your eyes peeled to Reign’s site for the updates, and peep the flyer after the jump.

14th August saw the Red Bull X Fighters tour roll into London and land slap bang in front of Battersea Power Station. Playing host to the worlds best FMX riders, the stage was set for a monumental contest. The weather however, had other ideas, and after a large downpour between qualifying and finals, the qualifying results stood and the riders decided to give the crowd a damn good show, and what a show it was! 18 year old Levi Sherwood tok the win, with ‘the destroyer’ Nate Adam’s coming a close second. We were there and friend of the breaks Rich Kenworthy was on hand to capture it all.

With a weekend heavy on the social side I thought it best to share some of the photography that captured the antics. Celebrations were to be had for both Tommy Rocksteady & Tony Hughes as they shared a birthday, and then again for Tony’s leaving do as he heads south. The backdrop for these happenings was none other than local drinking spot Tokyo, provider of fine food and drink Gusto, and the Vineyard. Steven Dunn shooting film and Chris Bishop on digital.

Anyone who has spent five minutes in my company will know a few home truths. New York seems to impact every element of my day and my fondest memories are from my two trips stateside. I’m passionate about my clothes, street-art, and music. In Newcastle you can find a few big apple references, be it the slice joint in the Grainger or the street-wear at Electrik Sheep. However, now, providing the beat, we have MO:OK. Following a few acclaimed parties at the Telegraph they move onto bigger things and takeover live music venue the Cluny for a bank holiday special.

First things first, massive props to Eelus and his recent print release that sold out in ten minutes or so. It was another amazing print and i’m glad to say ‘Not Everything Is So Black & White’ will be joining my ‘High Hopes’ and ‘Dress Up’ later this week. Now, the matter at hand. What happens when you get two of the most prolific stencil artists, take them to New York, and give them a show. Paradise Lost at Brooklynite Gallery of course. On the back of these two creatives having London solo shows they are headed stateside come september. All info below.
