SHABAZZ PALACES - “BELHAVEN MERIDIAN”
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010Shabazz Palaces - “Belhaven Meridian” [OFFICIAL] from Kahlil Joseph on Vimeo.
Ok, shout out to Pamela for sharing this with the Prosperous. I’ve watched it like 6 times today. Directed by Kahlil Joseph, this video/movie for Shabazz Palaces is a beautiful dreamworld inside the dreamworld known as Watts, CA(pay attention to your dreams). Before this I was not up on Shabazz Palaces but certainly familiar with the dude on the mic- Butterfly from Digable Planets. If you don’t get inspired by this…well…open your eye and watch it again.

BEAUTIFUL BOTS
Monday, January 4th, 2010POETRY IN MOTION
Thursday, December 31st, 2009


There is something about a bicycle that is pure design crack. Like men’s suits, the basic design has not changed. Its hard to improve on perfection but the guys over at Vanilla Bicycles are giving it a go.
To the Prosperous, nothing is impossible. Become immersed in your craft, be an expert but stay learning. Check out The Vanilla Workshop- a collaboration between master fabricators; expert bicycle painters; photographers; wood, leather, fabric and metal workers–all working closely to bring the intelligent, edgy, sexiness of Portland to the rest of the world. These guys are official.
Cheers to a creatively prosperous new year. Let’s keep the wheels moving.
