To Darrin Hudson: RE:VISION.

About Me

Name: jeffstaple

Location: New York, New York, United States

I think everyone had a "Darrin Hudson" in their lives. Darrin Hudson was in my high school, back in Marlboro, NJ. You know, that person that you had to one-up all the time. Didn't matter what it was: Gear, hair, grades, sports, whatever...it was ON. Well for Darrin and I...it was kicks. Plain and simple. Oddly enough, in a school with over 1000 kids, me and him were the only 2 really into sneakers back then. This is my blog dedicated to Darrin. This is to tell Darrin that I'm still out there, and if he wants to battle, here it is son!! Bring it!! I've since lost touch with Darrin, but thanks to him, you all get to check out the kicks I have amassed over the years. So it is here, that I will archive every pair of shoes I own. It’ll include detailed photos, a grading system, a little tidbit behind each one and every single one will be available for purchase. (Simply POST A COMMENT with your offer). Some other little goodies sprinkled throughout also. Even if I updated a different shoe every week, it would take me about 3 years to complete this project. So sit back and enjoy! The project begins January 1st, 2006...

RE:VISION.

A new book is about to drop that is pretty interesting. (And not just because I'm featured in it! ha.) "RE:VISION".
"Conceived and photographed by Chris Pieretti, re:vision is a collection of sixteen artists and creative minds in New York City. From Alife co-founder Tony Arcabascio, to "Broken Flowers" and ABC's "Invasion" actress Alexis Dziena, Pieretti shows each subject working as their respective craft moves from vision to reality.
The hard cover, 176-page book also uses the collections of Dorothy Twining Globus to reinforce the theme of the creative sparks that join these people together. Whether it be a piece of music, a design on a page, a skateboard move, or a painting, the artists contained in re:vision all share a common thread of creativity and drive. This is re:vision."
The book features: Swoon, Tony Arcabascio, Matthew Gubler, Michelle Zacks, Rb Umali, Jauresti Saizarbitoria, Carlucci Bencivenga, Jermaine McCray, Alecis Dziena, David Horii, Eric P, Skewville, Jaime Reyes, Will Evans, Edi and yours truly. Worth checking out...
