Heavy Rays
Its happy space out time. Take a 15 minute trip into unknown landscapes and structures with our friend and Dossier collaborator Josh Slater. So sit back, relax, and strap on your seatbelt. You’ve never been on a ride like this before, with a producer who can rap and control the maestro. Original score by Sahra Motalebi.

Artists include Nina Hartmann, Sandy Kim, Maggie Lee, Kathy [...]
Pretty Toney
Tony Stark puts it down. This is from back in the day but still holds true. Dedicated to the Gods and Earths. Oh, and I started collecting vintage Wallabees if anyone is interested in a collabo. Only smart dumb cats get at me.

If You Have Eyes, Look At This Now

Dogboarding
Grab your pup and go sidewalk surfing with me. No animals were harmed in the making of this video. Don’t harm animals, dummy.
Children Of The Grave
As the weather gets warmer and your brain begins to thaw, thoughts of getting out on the open road start to slowly creep in my brain. Here’s a new video from our friend Magdalena Wosinska to put you in the mood for a road trip, or something else entirely.
