Aurora

Time for news!

First of all i would like to thank all the great people, who support AURORA and bought straps and shirts in the last month. I hope you all enjoy our work.
I’m really busy at the moment to get all orders on the way and besides this, i’m hard working on new stuff. So please don’t be mad at us, for a bit more waiting time. We are doing our best.
When everything works as i planned, the summer will be a great. Keep the 1st of august in mind.
Hopefully this is the date, when a whole new AURORA collection will launch and only be available through our onlineshop. There are severeal shirts in the making, a zipper, a jacket, a u-lock belt and much more…

Another heart-thing is a second issue of the AURORA artzine. Many of you ordered a copy of the first issue with the straps and i think most of you liked it. Sadly the first issue was released long ago and there wasn’t the time to get out the second one. But this summer i really would like to release it with the help of you all.
Some of you might wonder about the “collective” in the name, but this is exactly the point where i need all people around AURORA.
The second issue will have a focus on photography. I would love to get photographers from all over the world together and merge their best photographs together in this neet little AURORA magazine.

I’m looking for pictures from fixed gear and bike enthusiasts, bikes with AURORA straps, bikes with chicks, skateboarding, portraits, urban/streetlife connected with skateboarding or bike riding and stuff like that. But there is no must, if you got a picture that might fit, send it over aswell.
If you think you got quality shots, please drop a line and send over a preview to info(at)aurora-collective.com.

I’m really looking forward to your contributions and your work is not for nothing.
Every photographer who gets coverage in the magazine will be credited as he wishes and will receive a nice package as a thank you.

The magazine will be full-color offset printed in a edition of 1000 and the content will be advertisment free.
If there are companies that might want to collaborate or support this magazine, i would offer a logo placement on the back side.

I’m really curious about all this and i hope you are too.
Thanks and stay tuned for more…

My good friends from the band ALIAS CAYLON made their first music video. They are playing for about 9 years now and toured a lot. Until now they only released two albums – the second in february 2009. They got tons of positive reviews so far and really deserve to be noticed. 
For me the video is a first step to a much wider audience. 
They will be on tour around november:

 
When you like bands like At the drive in, Samiam, …. and something that sounds really different.

Our friend ELNA* finished his final project for Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, its a broadcast design for nike israel. He custom designed 3 pairs of the all time classic nike dunk and made a commercial video.
The 3 pairs and also the video is made with elnas unique style, bright colors and playful shapes.
The video is a mix of animated sequenzes and live shots. All perfectly edited and surrounded by fitting tunes from DJ Markey Funk.

Aaron is currently living in LA and is working as a web designer and photographer. He got a unique style and is up for new experiments and techniques. This “new” doesn’t mean that he got always the recent hi-tech cameras, it rather means he likes to play around with old analog cameras.
his work is inspiring to me and i think worth a look.
check out his portfolio: feaverishphotography.com
and his flickr page with much more pictures.

Some examples for you after the jump.
