Stevie Gee & The Dusty Wolf
Stevie Gee is an artist/designer who is inspired by skate and surf culture. Among his work you’ll find a lot of custom made surf boards and skateboards but this particular piece was inspired by the Beach Boys song “Feel Flows”.
Earth Time Lapse
Here’s an incredible time lapse made from photographs taken by the crew onboard the International Space Station (ISS) from August to October 2011. Shot from an altitude of around 350 km the earth looks like one big living organism and really puts human civilization in perspective. The video was edited together by Michael König.
A Life Underwater
For a lifetime 75 year-old Ray Ives has been collecting artifacts he found on the bottom of the sea while working as a professional diver. Everything from bottles, jars, propellers to swords, guns and gold. “The sea is the biggest rubbish-dump in the world…” he says.
Uncommon Ideals
Uncommon Ideals, by Chris McClean and Mark Waters, captures the experience of surfing the cold waves of the North Sea. Beautifully shot and based around a poem by Daniel Crocket it was awarded Shortie of the Year at this years London Surf Film Festival.
