    New Haven — Quantrez Sawyer was a security officer in Detroit three years ago, but he wasn't earning enough to live outside his mother's house and support his three children. So he robbed a suburban McDonald's and is now serving a five-year sentence at the Macomb Correctional Facility.Sawyer, who will be released in 2015, began taking a new entrepreneurship class at the prison, aimed at helping inmates learn the skills needed to launch a business upon release, improve their earnings and reduce their chances of landing behind bars again.He hopes the class will help him develop a business…

    The MCM Comic Con happens all over the country, many times a year. At the end of May it happened in London (and it will happen again in October). Much like Super Comic Con it happens in the Excel Centre. Unlike that smaller, younger convention, MCM has a history of conventions and expos dating back to 2001. It now has major events in Manchester, Scotland and the Midlands, with two in Birmingham and two in London. Photo by Jaclyn Po courtesy of MCM Buzz So we went back to the far-out south east London in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by canals, train lines, roads and power cables. Unlike…

  • Must Watch On Netflix, “Arrested Development”

    This week’s must watch on Netflix is “Arrested Development”. Maybe one of the funniest sitcoms I have ever watched since “Seinfeld”. This Fox TV original series had a run of 3 seasons from 2003 to 2006. But what is really cool is the fact that Netflix gave the show a reboot final season which premiered in May. Now I have not had a chance to watch the show and characters where are they six years later, because this is a show which is much funnier when you start from the beginning. There is never a dull moment or a gap in time in which you don’t laugh. The…

    Zoot Suit Riots: Remembering the WWII era Los Angeles race riots on its 70th anniversaryDepending on who is writing the history, the week of June 3, 1943, is referred to as either the beginning of Los Angeles' Zoot Suit Riots or the time of its Sailor Riots. Regardless.From Los Nietos to Pasadena and from Venice to Watts, sailors from the U.S. Navy raided movie theaters and homes looking for trouble. They ripped the baggy zoot suits off Latino youths, and then beat them with whips and clubs.For the most part, the sailors were cheered on by the city's newspapers and some of its leaders and…

    Nike x Size? “Urban Safari Pack” Roshe Run Not usually a Roshe fan, the right colours can make all the difference and Size have done an excellent job picking some timeless ACG makeups as the inspiration for their Urban Safari packs. The colour blocking makes their nod to the Mowabb easier to spot, but the Lava pops are what really caught my eye. These stop short of invoking any ACG insignia, perhaps learning from the 2010 AM1s, but the lineage lends a bit of history to the pack and justification for the ubiquitous speckled soles. They’re releasing online, but with a 06:00…

  • Nylon – Fear Of A Crack Planet

    Okay, okay. My bad. I really should have posted this chilled out little video of Nylon doing his thing in some quiet spaces back when it was sent to me. That would have meant it was in time for his gallery show at M850 in May. It slipped through the net, but instead of just forgetting it, I’m publishing it now. Seeing Nylon paint is a pleasure, regardless.

  • Free Vamp – Graffiti Writer Sentenced To Three And A Half Years In Prison

    It was August 2012 when we celebrated Vamp’s graffiti, describing him as “a dying breed of a graffiti writer – the kind with a meticulously systematic approach to going all city, over and over again”. By April this year, Vamp had been caught and convinced of a massive 39 counts of criminal damage, as well as a charge of perverting the course of justice. The latter charge was for creating a Youtube video of a black man painting the “Vamp” tag, supposedly in order to divert suspicion away from himself (a white man). With the courts ever less tolerant of…

  • The Old Print House – Abandoned Building In North London

    Keegan
    14 Jun 2013 | 5:37 am
    There is an abandoned print house somewhere in North London that has popped up in one or two people’s photo collections recently. It used to make packets for kosher crisps (there are a few Jewish communities in the general area) amongst other things. The broken roof leads to interesting lighting, and its many rooms hide lots of graffiti to reward the thorough explorer. We’re not going to bait out exactly where it us, but we decided to pop over and get some photos of the graff that covers every surface, as well as some other interesting bits and bobs. We ended up with over 80…

  • Is Lebron James The Greatest Athlete Ever?

      Is Lebron James the greatest athlete ever? This is something I hear all the time, who is better Lebron James or Michael Jordan? I’m sure I am not the only person to hear that or hear all the comparisons of the 2 championship basketball player from 2 different eras. While they are both great basketball players. I just can’t see myself actually comparing the two. Before James almost everybody who was a basketball fan would say Jordan was either one of the greatest ball players or the best to ever play the game. I on the other hand have to disagree. Lebron James is THE…
