Ice Cream Skateboards
Posted by kRiSs | Filed under Inspiration, Miscellaneous

Wow… Mikkel G and the guys at Norse Projects did these amazing skate decks for Street Machine. The 3 classic danish soda pop ice creams are represented here: Filur, Champagne Brus and Kung Fu. I want them even though i don’t skate! Good job! Danes… remember when a filur was only 4 kr? Those were the days!

Leaving NYC
Posted by kRiSs | Filed under News, Travel

I can’t really believe it myself, but 3 months has gone by since I came to New York, and since I started this blog, partly as an excuse for not writing personal mails to my friends and family… sorry. The summer is nearing an end and now it’s time to leave this fantastic city and head back to Copenhagen and fall.
I have made fabulous new friends, worked on some amazing projects, partied long and hard, seen some crazy shit, heard some wicked concerts, done insane shopping, used too much money and generally just had a blast.
The reason for coming here at the first place was to see how I would like living in this fast-paced and hectic city. New York has not succeeded in intimidating me… I will definitely return! And this time settling down for longer. For updates on this… stay tuned to the blog.
Photos from my last month in NYC can be seen on FB:

See you in CPH! xx kRiSs

How does it feel to stand on the 10m platform at the enormous Water Cube in Beijing? The New York Times did this fullscreen 360 panorama that gives you an idea. With US diver Thomas Finchum giving an explanation.

Wieden+Kennedy did a viral response to user Levinator25’s video on YouTube.

W+K’s Response
I’m fairly sure that the first video was fabricated by W+K too, which actually makes the idea even better.

Nintendo VS Sega EP
Posted by kRiSs | Filed under Miscellaneous

Like most people our age, we grew up playing videogames. The countless hours glued to the TV playing our favorite games inspired us to put together a short tribute to these fantastic devices. Which ever side you were on, nobody can deny the amazing games offered on both platforms.
I ran across this fun EP from The Remix Company. I’m pretty sure that the tunes on Nintendo VS Sega is going to evoke some nostalgic feelings in most of you. Load it up!

Tillykke Mads!
Posted by kRiSs | Filed under Travel

My lil’ bro and his girl came over for a visit in the apple. They just left today after an eventful 8 day stay. Today is also his birthday and I kinda feel bad for him having to spend 14 hours traveling instead of celebrating. So I just wanted to wish him a happy birthday here.
Once I get the time I’ll try and dig through the stacks of photos I’ve snapped over here and post some new ones for ya.
