Trousers

Trousers jeans, out of London, made in Italy, HUGE in Japan. Once again a product that this M. Crumb would like to purchase here in his homeland. Launched during London fashion week 2008, these fresh and future-focused yet domestically unknown denimites have since spurred a cult following in Japan - the Japanese are big into their quality denim. To boot, these trousers are "not born of exploitation" and crafted from ecologically friendly materials, organic premium denim - cage free? Either way, I will feel even cooler when I cop a pair of these eco-friendly fly Nippon knickers.

Apache wear

This Fall the Mightiest Crumb is going Apache. Out of A Child Of The Jago, Joe Corre's Terrorist line includes several Apache inspired garments. Cashmere Apache print hoodies (I'll take on in every color please), new custom made embossed Apache belt (Below) and rugged Apache war pants with leather fringe.
In the spirit of the mighty Geronimo "one who yawns," (they even have a soft bamboo fabric t-shirt featuring the great leader himself) I will suit up and take to the street of NYC wearing this modern salute to the proud Native American spirit - be he friend or foe!

The Crumberazzi

Well well well... who do we have here? Brace yourselves you CW watching gossip mongers, it's none other than Leighton Meester aka Blair Waldorf saying a quick hello to Kelly Rutherford aka Lily van der Woodsen and her fresh little baby on route to the Gossip Girl set at the National Arts Club in Gramercy. Little did she know she was standing right in the Mightest Crumb's way as I gobbled up some Bravo pizza on my way back to the office. Could that strapping tall man in the black t-shirt following in tow be her new love interest? All I know is that I could have done without the sea of giddy teenies and their flashing Sony Cyber-Shot cameras as I passed her by. I'm pretty sure I overheard one dark little fan girl in the back mumbling about a nefarious plan to kidnap Chuck Bass and breed with him - good luck CREEEEPY!

The Crumberazzi

Can't hide from the Crumberazzi! Here we see Larry David himself watching the Red Sox/Yankees game in a sports club next to Fenway. He took a quick moment to give the Mightiest Crumb a dirty look as I unashamedly snapped a quick iPhone pic. He was nice enough to give me a wave as I thanked him for his just being there with a thumbs up. I must give a shout out to DJ B-Roc for spotting the Curb-feld genius on our stroll out of the Fenway.

(listen folks, I know the crumberazzi photos are crap quality but hey I have better things to do then buy pricey high quality SLRs to lurk around the city with documenting the uninteresting comings and goings of famous people. Feel free to send me $$ though and perhaps one of these days the crumberazzi will get that fancy SLR with the telephoto lens and snap some wonder shots of the recognizables, until then it's iPhone on the go)

Paul Delaney Art

I've just been made aware of a young contemporary artist from Cork, Ireland whose work of digital illustration, acrylic and mixed medium paintings has demanded an interest from my eye. Paul Delaney is his name and his bold and stylized prints make me want to buy a raw lofty SoHo pad and scatter them about so that I may invite friends and colleagues over to marvel and comment on my impeccable taste for contemporarily hip design. Seriously though, I implore you to check out his work here.

Tiny Reykjavik


You may have heard of Tilt-Shift photography, it's a way of making photos of real life objects look like miniature models and, as this crumb found out, it's really easy to do in Photoshop. Here is my first attempt. This is a shot I took of downtown Reykjavik a few years ago. As you can see the first one has been tilt-shifted and looks like a mini model, the second is the original. Try it yourself with this easy tutorial.

Pee & Poo

Hey kids, why don't you toss out that dirty ol' teddy bear and play with Pee & Poo instead! Out of Stockholm Sweden comes this plush cuddly duo that teaches children about excrement by encouraging them to get close and cuddle with it. Originally named Piss & Shit, this duo was marketed as action figures for Sweden's fan-geek collectables demographic until realizing that Sweden has no such demographic due to an overabundance of attractive people and the absence of Comic-Con. The brand has since evolved to include clothing for children and adults, plush key chains and temporary tattoos. We're eagerly awaiting the new accessories line rumored to include a corn necklace for Poo as well as the newest member of the team, Spew. You can buy all of your Pee & Poo products here, click on Bits & pieces (eww) to send e-cards, download a Pee & Poo wallpaper for your computer or even play the Pee & Poo memory game. Personally I think Poo would look great dangling from the rearview mirror of any chic driver's Saab convertible.
