Illustrator and vinyl toy designer James Jarvis made this station ID for MTV with Richard Kenworthy. It’s a cool animation and it’s not his fault that the network is flaming bag of dog poo. That would be a good station ID for MTV actually. [Source: Hypebeast]

The Honda Zoomer-X is out there somewhere in Thailand. It’s got a space under the seat for a box that you can remove to carry longer items, like the suggested skateboard in this promo shot. [ Source: Motomalaya ] – Thanks to Boy for the tip.

Spooner boards. So, uh… these are plastic, I think. They come in a rainbow of colors and two sizes, freestyle and “pro.” Another learning aid. Spendy too. About the same cost as a real board, but I guess you won’t, you know, wear it out. Also available in a snowboard model with built in Krainkers. As Mark said, nobody made it easier for MC to learn how to skateboard.

The cover of Photo News Canada, which should be subtitled “Your source for Canadian photoshopped photography.” Another Seismic sighting. – Thanks to Matthijs for the tip.

Another Dole banana skateboard tie in.

A little bit of street luge and a little bit of skateboarding, all in one Volvo commercial. [ Source: Seismic Facebook feed.] – Thanks to Matthijs for the tip.

Closeup of a Mountain Dew ad circa 2001. Essentially a retread of the Nike’s “What if we treated all athletes…” campaign from 1997. Good idea, but still clumsy. “We can dream, can’t we?” No we can’t, because there is no “we” that you are implying. i’m not buying it for a second, (now third) pun. Slightly larger after the jump. I need the $16 it would cost, so it’s courtesy of photoshop.

Put it on a plate son, you’ll enjoy it more. Just don’t put it in the microwave or dishwasher. This is a McDonalds “collectible” plate from 2006. I shouldn’t put collectable in quotes because I collected it. Got to give the artist credit for the stylish tuck knee frontside air and the apparent kickflip (heelflip?) on vert, even if Ronald is about to fly off the edge of the vert ramp. Nice bicycle helmet on Ronald. He is a clown though…

I thought Rihanna had better taste than this. [Photo: The Sun]

Another marketing piece from Stumptown Coffee with a skateboard. I’m not sure if that’s supposed to be a generic older lady or a man in drag, but it works for me. Tim Root on the pen and ink again. – Thanks to Skidzilla for the tip.
