"Datamancer’s Steampunk Laptop"

The "Steampunk Laptop" by Datamancer is a beautiful antique, and a functional laptop. This looks like something Thomas Edison invented in 1868. I am a sucker for novelties, and this laptop that resembles an antique music box is quite the "looker". I am unsure of the price, but I will have one of these.

Midday In The Garden Of Good And Lovely

Being on tour is a great thing for the most part, but it can be monotonous, grueling, and most of all, very uncomfortable. Having the simplest comforts that we normally take for granted are the most gratifying in such circumstances. A few days into Tkatz tour on our way to Philly from D.C.,O8O came up with the greatest idea; "We are gonna stop by Ma Ma and Pap Pap's. O8O was immediately on the phone dialing up his grandmother to ask if these hungry and tired Tkatz could stop by and raid her fridge. So we were on our way to Columbia Maryland to meet 080's amazing grandmother "Ma Ma". 20 minutes later we were pulling up to the household of Henry and Barbara Felton, better known to the Tkatz as Pap Pap and Ma Ma. 7 disheveled bodies lumbered up to the door of the lovely home of the Feltons, and were greeted with hugs and the enormous smile of "Ma Ma". She encouraged our motley crew to feel free to raid the fridge, cabinets and counters of her lovely kitchen. We munched on hummus and pita's, stuffing are face with just about any snack you can imagine and Mel and 080 was busy scarfing down fried fish. We were even welcome to quench our thirst with mini budweiser's from Pap Pap's stash. The home was very classic in design and the walls were full of some incredible paintings from Pap Pap. I honestly did not want to leave this gorgeous abode. While stuffing down pita and hummus, I caught a glimpse of the back yard area and was instantly awe struck at the Zen garden that was just outside the sliding glass door. I asked Ma Ma if I could visit the serene garden, and of course she obliged. I was struck with a feeling of peace and calm being in this garden that looked as if it came right out of a novel. I snapped a few iphone pics and posted them below for all to enjoy this magnificent Zen Garden. These are the experiences in life no matter how simple and short that I will carry with me forever. My only regret is that I didn't get to meet Pap Pap. He was out for the day, and I hope to meet him soon. I will be blogging some of his remarkable paintings in an upcoming blog.

Bad Brains Hoodies by Supereme

Supreme just released a new hoodie set, paying tribute to one of my all time favorite bands the Bad Brains. The Washington D.C. band created the hardcore punk rock movement in the late 70's and influenced many bands, and was an enormous influence on me. These hoodies come in grey and red and feature the Bad Brains font on the front and also the band members names and instruments played on the back. I must have these to keep the chill off this winter.

Artist Profile: Jacklin Ariel Jones


I first experienced the artwork of Jacklin Ariel Jones at Solstice Cafe' located in the Grant Park section of Atlanta. Solstice is a very hip lounge that boasts some very intruiging local artwork. Ginger was a bartender at the time, and it was one of Tkatz favorite nightly haunts. I was simply amazed at the artwork displayed by Jacklin. What amazed me the most was her age. Her work is far beyond her 20 years. She works in many different mediums of art, such as sculpture, photography, and painting. Her work also does not follow any singular theme as most artists I have met. Jacklin will no doubt make an enormous impact on the art world. She has already made a huge impact on those of us lucky enough to have seen her amazing and growing talent. If you are interested in checking out her work please go to http://arieljones.deviantart.com/

Nike Of The Week Vol.15




It's been a couple of weeks since I posted some fresh Nike's. I apologize for slacking on the blog. No excuses, but the Tkatz were on tour, and I didn't always have solid internet. This week's Nike is part of the Nylon Nike Pack. I don't know the official name of these Nike's, but suffice it to say, they are bad ass. If you love white sneakers so you can pull off that "Fresh to Death" look and appeal... these are the sneaks for you.

Kimbo Slice Gets Knocked The F@CK Out

Miami street brawling legend and Youtube sensation Kimbo Slice aka Kevin Ferguson got knocked out Saturday night at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise Florida. The fight was the main event for CBS's Elite XE. Kimbo was scheduled to fight washed up mixed martial arts fighter Ken Shamrock, but Shamrock cut his eye during a sparring session earlier in the day, and wasn't allowed to fight Slice. Elite XE pulled Seth Petruzelli from an undercard fight and placed him in the main event against Slice. Petruzelli is much smaller than Kimbo, but has alot more experience. It only took Petruzelli 14 seconds to stun and K.O Kimbo, which shocked the Bank Atlantic Center, and also shocked the hell out of me. I was stunned when Kimbo went down after the first punch. To Kimbo's credit he took this fight having zero knowledge of Petruzelli's style. Kimbo made good on his promise to fight anyone, anywhere, anytime. Unfortunately it blew up in Kimbo's face on national television. I hope that Kimbo can recover from this, but only time will tell if Slice really belongs in the elite sport of mixed martial arts.

Nike Of The Week Vol.14


Well it's that time of the week again where I post my favorite Nike sneaker, and I am very excited to introduce the Nike Dunk SB "Bobba Fett". I love this Dunk SB as much as I love the original Star Wars series, and I have always found Bobba Fett as an intruiging although mysterious character. I will have these Dunks adorning my feet before the galaxy falls to the Dark Side. May the force be with you...

Gas Tube Clock

The Nixie Clock is comprised of six gas cathode tubes very similar to guitar amplifier tubes, that display bright orange glowing numbers in hours, minutes and seconds. The base is constructed of black anodized aluminum and cherry wood. This clock reminds me of what Dr. Frankenstein would use as a timekeeper. The price tag is not too bad at $415(US). This is a must for science fiction buffs and guitar enthusiasts.
