Joshua Vides Fulfilled a Childhood Promise With His 2001 Acura Integra Type R
A lot of people make promises to themselves when they're young on what supercars they'll have when they inevitably become a success. Lamborghinis, Bugattis, Porsches – the sky's the limit, really. For graphic designer and artist Joshua Vides, his childhood promise was realized with a "sensible" Integra. Unless you've been living under a rock for the last decade, chances are you've seen Joshua Vides' work. The Guatemalan-American based contemporary artist is best known for his "flat" artwork, one that mimics if our reality were drawn to life using pen and paper. The execution is visually stunning, the applications are endless, and the artwork remains timeless. Vides' vision is so widespread that it resonates globally, allowing for partnership work with such brands as Disney/Pixar, New Balan...

The New McLaren 750S is “Peak Supercar Performance”
British auto firm McLaren has a knack for creating some of the world's quickest road cars -- just take your mind back to the all-mighty McLaren F1, which was the fastest car in the world for more than a decade until the Bugatti Veyron came along. That former car is still, almost thirty years on, the fastest naturally aspirated production car, but that hasn't stopped McLaren from chasing other monumental figures. Enter the McLaren 750S, the marque's latest weapon of attack.While the model number -- 750 -- might throw some of you off, as it is lower than the would-be flagship the 765LT, this new car is in fact McLaren's most wild supercar to date. It uses a twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces 740 HP and 800 Nm of torque, which is good for 0-62 MPH in 2.8 seconds, 0-124 MPH in 7.2 secon...

Pen & Paper: Joe O’Donnell
With million dollar figures being thrown at auction, it’s easy to forget that art can just be made for fun. It’s ok to make work that doesn’t need to be for someone else or about anything, really. Insert all the tacky slogans you want, ‘Just Do It’, ‘Live the Journey’ — whichever.For British artist, Joe O’Donnell, skateboarding taught him early on to chase a feeling. Born in Milton Keynes and now based up in Manchester, O’Donnell continues to work at the intersection of skateboarding and art, creating work that is reminiscent of early teletext art from the 1970s, which imparts a feeling of liveliness and joy.While art is entirely subjective, it’s objectively hard not to smile a bit when looking at O’Donnell’s work. A beady-eyed horse looking out of a washy stable, pigeons ripping apart a b...

Classic MINI wheels have been refurbished and now center around the House's signature Triomphe logo, which also grac...
