Brooklyn Toile @ Flavor Paper : Tasty Handscreened and Digital Wallcoverings. Designed by Mike D & Revolver NY Mike Diamond of the Beastie Boys decided he wanted a Brooklyn inspired toile wallpaper that would line the walls of his Brooklyn brownstone. The vision was to pay tribute to all things Brooklyn in a way that would appear to be a traditional French Country Toile, but when you step to it the pattern reveals elements and vignettes that make up the truth about Brooklyn. Mike approached Vincent J. Ficarra and Adela Qersaqi of Revolver New York to help execute his vision artistically and Flavor Paper to produce the design as wallpaper. Brooklyn Toile captures many angles of life in the King’s borough from Coney Island to Hasidic Jews to Notorious B.I.G., the design covers many of the aspects of daily life dealing with subways and pigeons in a poetic way. Bill Murray Coloring Book (Pre-order) Thanks to Bill Murray, we actually have a favorite minor league baseball team.

The actor recently ran and slid all over the tarp during a rain delay at a Charleston RiverDogs baseball game. It not only made us care about watching a Single-A ball game, but it was yet another example of why Bill Murray is the coolest human being alive (or dead, though Lincoln was pretty badass). On August 13th, you can design a bit of artwork in honor of Mr. Ernie McCracken (we can’t be the only ones who thought Kingpin was his defining work) with the Thrill Murray coloring book. 24 illustrators24 different images.

Japanese Higo Knife. A good pocket knife is invaluable, it goes wherever you go.

Why not invest in something you will be proud to carry for a long time? The blade is laminated Japanese white steel with a tsuchime (hand-hammered) finish, and we love the slim profile, made for the pocket. Traditionally known as the Higonokami, the "Higo" knife has been produced by Miyamoto Manufacturing Co. since the late 1920s. This style knife was developed in 1894 by the hardware wholesaler Tasaburo Shigematsu, and the blacksmith Sadaharu Murakami, and soon after it quickly rose to great renown in Japan. Over 50 manufacturers were known to be making the Higonokami knives, but by the early 1960s popularity waned and many of them stopped production. Luckily the Miyamoto Manufacturing Co. has continued the Higo tradition employing original forging techniques and has graciously stamped them exclusively for Best Made.
