This is a recent advert for Stumptown Coffee that appeared in the Portland Mercury. It’s not the first skateboard themed ad they’ve run. I chopped out some negative space in this to make it take up less vertical space here. My apologies to the artist Tim Root. – Thanks to MC for the tip.

K Mart (Kmart? K-Mart??) has revised their logo again. It’s not visible here, but on the web site. In grade school I had a wicked pair of red nylon running shoes that were the Kmart brand know as Trax, but otherwise… almost every Kmart I’ve been in this millennium seems like it’s two weeks away from going out of business. Mrs Kilwag spotted this sign in a Kmart recently. I’m not sure why you’d have put a skateboard on layaway, especially one you’d buy at Kmart.

Apple has some HTML 5/CSS3 demos online as their way of justifying blowing off Flash promoting Web Standards compliance in their devices like the iPad and iPhone. The typography section features a rad Bryce Kanights photo of Tony Farmer.

Oh hey kids, time to make your room reflect your Extreme!™ lifestyle. Your parents don’t understand you, but they want to pretend they do, so grab their credit card and head on over to, uhmm, the laptop in your bedroom and buy some of this stuff for your crib. It’s tight! – Thanks to John Egertson for the 411… Yo!

I asked my wife if she knew about some shi shi company named Hermes and she had no idea what I was talking about, but that was because I was pronouncing it like “her-mees” instead of the proper French pronunciation, something more akin to “err-mez.” These guys sell insanely ridiculously priced accoutrements. It looks like they hired the best fingerboard video director Alexis Milant to produce a segment for their web site. Alexis is the guy who does the Opus series of videos that we’ve featured before. There are no credits, but it sure as hell looks like his work, except the props are insanely expensive. – Thanks to Seth Levy for the tip. [Source: Trendland]

Spotted at a Pita Pit in eastern Washington. I think that might be Don Knotts reincarnated. – Thanks to Justin Thomas for the tip.

If I recall correctly, I think there were Paul Mitchell banners up at the Dew Tour. This mountainboarding advert is pretty absurd on a couple of levels, and it’s going to ruin Wes’ weekend. – Thanks to Shvitz for the tip and the headline.

Spotted somewhere in eastern Oregon during the post inaugural voyage of Grover’s new video camera. I hear there’s a new GVK around the, uh, corner. Enlarge-o-rama. Oh yeah, for the sake of the search engines. This is a billboard with a skateboard, advertising U.S. Cellular 3G coverage. It looks like they were kind of going for a retro look withthe board style, white pants and blue boat shoes, but the effect is kind of ruined by the modern cars in the background. I apologize for the lame post title.

I snapped this photo out the window of my car on the same day I saw another one on a bus bench on my way to work too. This one is a half a mile from Conahan’s house. Before now, I had only seen this image online.

I saw a whole mess of Toyota marketing money that looked like it was trying to bite Jim Phillips’s style, but it’s probably legit.A quick search for Jim Phillips and Toyota reveals that he appears in a Toyota commercial that airs in Japan, so it’s highly believable that they also hired him to illustrate for the Extreme&trade:! sports market.
