Renowned for their innovative collaborations, 55DSL have only gone and done it again… Project 10.55mm gave three international photographers the creative license to thrill. The result? A series of limited edition customized tees, guaranteed to get tongues wagging. Brit-born Gavin Watson’s provocative design reflects his fascination with the iconic 1980s punk subculture; also the subject of his most recent books, ‘RAVING 89’ and ‘Skins and Punks. Next up is sleek imagery straight from the heart of Milan, courtesy of Sean Michael Beolchini; senior editor of ‘PIGMAG’, co-founder of ‘RetroSuperFuture’, and a member of creative collective ‘SM’. And last but...

I'm never ever wrong. Ever. I continued my wining streak by predicting that the last show, Delicacy of Passion by Best Ever at Studio 55 was going to be a winner. Check the images, then check their site or even head down to Studio 55 for a peek yourself, the show is going to run for a while because no one wants to have the mural in the stairwell replaced and it's fairly big boots to fill if you are going to follow these guys. Art enthusiasts and alcoholics are going to have to source their own poison for...

I liked the flyer for this so very much that I decided to made it massive, hoping it might just evoke in you the correct and desired response. I'm throwing it out there; tomorrow night's show at Studio55 is going to be the best yet. I've been fortunate enough to see some of the early stages of the mural they are putting together (as well as their previous incarnations) and find myself becoming somewhat of an advocate. And I really shouldnt be, normally the first thing I look for on an art exhibition poster is the drink sponsor (Becks,...

As part of their ongoing series of stellar events at Studio55 in London, 55DSL now welcome London artist Nick Gentry to the studio to exhibit some of his fine work on Thursday 24th June. Technology today is moving at an increasingly rapid pace. Computers and the internet have become all-consuming - so much so that tangible media is fast becoming obsolete. CDs, Vinyl, DVDs, even books - these things are all being replaced by digital equivalents. Nick Gentry's paintings - utilising the now almost novel floppy disk - seek to highlight the relentless, exponential growth of technology, and what...

This weekend saw the 55DSL x Panini Galactic Battle of Foosball Final in Bassano del Grappa, Italy. 16 Finalists from 7 different countries across the globe gathered in Bassano to battle it for a once in a life time trip to South Africa, with non other than 55DSL's Creative Director Andrea Rosso. As with any  celebration 55DSL take on  this  was no half hearted affair, the setting was enough to make all the players go weak at the knees let alone the 5 course dinner, as much wine as the local vineyards could provide and of course the all...

Last week saw the heats and UK final of the 55DSL x Panini foosball comp, held at Bar Kick in East London. Over 50 teams entered the 5 hour tournament with only one lucky team going through to the global final, in 55DSL's home town of Bassano, Italy next month. Bar Kick filled up early, with hopeful competitors getting some practise in over a few beers before the real competition started. The atmosphere in the bar started off fairly relaxed and fun, but as teams dwindled and the final was in sight the  competitive spirit turned fierce with only...
