John Prolly + Urban Velo

the weather has been decent lately, so the riding is back! peace out snow! Mishka NYC cohort and fixed-gear tastemaker John Watson (aka Prolly) recently wrote a super informative piece in one of my favorite bicycle reads, Urban Velo. charting the rise of fixed-gear rationale and providing a great perspective on why we ride, he continues to be at the forefront of this rapidly evolving scene and does a great job in the documentation. whether its on the Mishka Bloglin or on his own site Prolly Is Not Probably, I always really enjoy Prolly's content, and this article is no different. read it here!

Larry + Mishka

good friend of the 84/85 crew /  stylish bastard extraordinaire Larry (aka Freedom) had some his art published on the Mishka Bloglin today.. hype! Mishka's is one of the top 3 blogs that I check regularly, because the range of content is so expansive and the inventive way in which they present the posts. props!

  

a closer look: Actual Pain

Now a days I am not really into graphic tee shirt companies, as I would generally prefer a little more depth to a line. Sometimes there is an exception to the rule, and in this case it is Seattle's Actual Pain. They are a small company but have been making their mark with great designs and solid collaborations with like-minded brands such as Flying Coffin, Italian brand Vanguard, and most recently Mishka. With hardcore death-metal inspired graphics and a "don't give a fuck" attitude, Actual Pain are ones to watch out for.

Mishka + Actual Pain

even though this is ancient news in blogland, I figured I would big up the Mishka + Actual Pain collaboration anyway. I'm not really a streetwear or graphic tee guy, but when something is good something's good, right? the shirt featured above should arrive at my friend Larry's place shortly (he's a Mishka preferred customer ha), and I'm really stoked to get gully in my fresh white Rusputin shirt. the other items from the collection are good too.. check them out here.
