Custom Air Jordan III Inspired OLYMPUS PEN E-PL2

James of Hong Kong just worked for the latest Olympus E-PL2 campaign in HK and had the assignment designing a new look for the camera. So he took inspiration from his favorite shoe? That’s right the Air Jordan III which just so happens to release tomorrow 1/22/11, was the motive behind the design. A masterpiece I must say. Here’s how it was done:

-Step One: Mask the rest of the body with masking tape
-Step Two: spray the grey paint on the grip, TAMIYA COLOR TS-81(recommended). Unmask the tapes and you can see the rest of the body is fine, so be careful and make sure you cover up the rest of the camera body well
-Step Three: after the paint dried, use some small tip pen to draw those black lines, GUNDAM MARKER GM01(recommended)
-Step Four: Just add some red GUNDAM MARKER GM07(recommended)

Fin!!!

*I would personally like to thank James for this idea. Being a professional photographer and passionate sneakerhead is a really odd combo. I’m a Nikon shooter but this Olympus E-PL2 will be added to the arsenal.

Drake to play Jace Stratton in “Gears of War”

The fastest rising superstar in today’s hip-hop music scene is teaming up with Microsoft Game Studios and Epic Games to lend his voice to the biggest blockbuster game of 2011, “Gears of War 3,” only on Xbox 360. Set to release his much-anticipated debut album, “Thank Me Later,” on June 15, Grammy-nominated recording artist Drake is voicing Jace Stratton, a new playable character in the upcoming finale to one of the most celebrated sagas in video games.

In the finale to one of gaming’s most recognizable sagas, Epic has added four player cooperative campaign gameplay, allowing them to bring characters from the extended “Gears” universe to life.

“Jace is a central character in the comic books, so he was an obvious choice as a character we wanted to bring into the third game,” said Epic Executive Producer Rod Fergusson. “When we began casting for the role, ‘So Far Gone’ had just released, and Drake’s combination of heart and grit was just what we were looking for. Rather than search for somebody who sounded like him, it was clear that we should approach him directly… fortunately he turned out to be a huge fan.”

“When Epic came to me with the role, I couldn’t pass it up,” said Drake. “They’ve created an amazing character in Jace, and I’m looking forward to my tour in Delta Squad.”

Developed by acclaimed studio Epic Games and published by Microsoft Game Studios, “Gears of War 3” launches worldwide in April 2011, only on Xbox 360. The “Gears of War” series is one of the most popular franchises in Xbox history, having sold more than 12 million copies worldwide, and spawning New York Times best-selling novels, an upcoming film and more.

From 1 mixtape to Grammy’s to Sprite and now video games. I see you..
