Did you know their name “Neutra” pays homage to the Austrian architect Richard Neutra? Well now you do. Get the mag, it’s underrated.

The boys go ” dam grommets out skating us old folk with their Tony Hawk Video Game learning abilities”. Either way, these kids skate way better than you plus they are styley little critters.

He’s been doing it longer than you. We blogged about the Soho Hole Pool Party and his presentation at Design Assembly last year. The video below is not only a slick production but a detailed insight into street art and the different ways he uses a can.

It’s part of an episode of videos he has put together for his new project Urban Development.

Twelve speakers, 1500 audience members, two days. Passionate presentations covering everything from typography to photography to animation.

Among the highlights were Bibliotheque’s Tim Beard, who was unmatched in the passion with which he spoke about type and kerning and printing and image and info design and…

Another mention goes to Kate Moross, the latest hot young thing to come out of London. She is a 23 year old one-man-brand with an amazing portfolio of work under her belt – everything from magazine covers to launching her own record label, to designing a t-shirt range for Top Shop and illustrating the Oxford St window display. With wisdom and experience beyond her years, her authority over what she does and what she stands for was refreshing inspiration.

Another bonus was seeing the guys from Cut Collective ‘live painting’ the next artwork in their billboard series.
