This past Monday Kidrobot dropped their Fall look book , which was shot in Scotland by graffiti artist, Tilt. He was also the man responsible for their cool Summer ‘09 look book that was shot in NYC.
.
I must say their Fall collection looks great and the photos are awesome. They have a real Badass feel to them. I can’t wait to get my hands on some new Kidrobot gear!

Tilt is an internationally recognized traditional graffiti artist, originating from Toulouse in South France. You might recall me blogging about him back in May ‘09, when he was working on the Adidas Originals Campaign.
.
I actually had the pleasure of doing a shoot with him back in October ‘08 in Toronto for his next BubbleGirls book, set to come out next year. We have since become good friends.
.
Tilt travels all around the world to work on different art projects and while he’s in a city he will pick one girl to become his BubbleGirl. In which he paints on her body (she chooses what to wear), does a photo shoot and then paints a big graffiti piece of her name in big bubbly letters somewhere in her city. For me he chose a train. Really Cool!

This past Tuesday I received a nice surprise from Tilt in the mail. He sent me a copy of the Gudberg Magazine issue #06 -Spring ‘09 issue, that happened to have 2 photos from my very own BubbleGirls shoot.

Adidas recently just celebrated their 60th anniversary of the iconic 3-Stripes mark introduced by company founder Adi Dassler. It was the largest global brand campaign ever for Adidas Originals under the banner of Celebrate Originality.
One of the original things they did, was call onto graffiti artist Tilt to drive around Paris in a car that both he and graffiti artist Mist customized, called the “Super Cool Pussy Magnet”.
The idea was to have Tilt drive around 6 bloggers that he has never met and give them a cool illegal graffiti mission experience.
Here are the 2 mission videos, which are both in French. However, if you don’t speak French I recommend that you still watch them to get a feel of the experience and to see the final pieces. He’s a great artist and a good friend of mine. Enjoy!
