Go With The Flux
Amidst the repaired jewelry, carelessly hung clothes and screen print t-shirts, it’s quite rare to find a vendor at the Brooklyn Flea market with impressive craftsmanship. For this reason, Flux Productions stands out. Their expertly hand crafted bags made out of cork, leather, and felt look out of place (in a good way) and they lend much needed credibility to the Brooklyn flea. Check out the rest of the collection here.

Saul Williams: Music We !!!
If you’re black, feeling misunderstood, have a way with words, and creativity is as innate to you as breathing, then you should consider acquiring a new residence in Paris. In 2009, Saul Williams followed the footpath to Paris left behind by James Baldwin, Melvin Van Peebles, Josephine Baker and others. It looks like it’s been good to Saul. He released his 4th studio album Volcanic Sunlight(2011) earlier this month. Below he talks about the meaning behind the album.
