of the month june has been a very slow month for beinghunted. even though there were some good shows to report on, plus a few new items and garments, you can tell that summer has reached the northern hemisphere. since everyone is only concerned about how to spend the most time outside instead of in front of the screen, news haven't been flooding in as we are used to. nevertheless, we'll finish this month by showing you our sneaker picks for the summer. by the way, we already have one model included in our list for the fall: the new dunk low by supreme... select sneakers here |

| 25 | | garments | supreme
summer we would be more than happy to report that supreme has finally released a new batch of box-logo-tees. unfortunately, though, for those of you who don't feel anything else - you'll be disappointed (you can always put a sticker on your shirt, too!). for the others, you might find appreciation for supreme's new designs. as always there's a little porn, some rock-and-roll and some gangsta style involved. you have enough tees? maybe a hat then, or a new backpack? travel to jfk, tyo or lhr to reign supreme. gear up for these |

| 18 | | website | the
directors bureau what we could to with this website is: a) don't mention it on beinghunted.com. b) use every bit of info on the featured artists one after another. c) do all of the above for a couple of weeks. and d) maybe in the end give a hint on this resource. but - we won't do it like that... the diretors bureau website provides you with full coverage on: rodney ascher, roman coppola, sofia coppola, geoff mcfetridge, and mike mills. there you have it. sneak peek | tdb - go! |

| 03 | | garments | parkwalk... ...as you know, is the name of will bankhead's clothing line, available in extremely limited quantities and highly sought after in japan. and whenever this is the case you can be sure of the quality of these. it's not just some 'let's-put-a-logo-on-a-hanes' sort of deal. take a look at the images, save up some money (but do it quickly), and then email parkwalk directly for the nicest hoodies we have seen in quite a bit. if you're a little low on funds, parkwalk can make you happy, too, with two new tee designs - one by will, the other by ben - ben drury that is. see: images | inquire here: parkwalk |

| 02 | | art & design | hersk we'll start this month with scott herskovitz, aka hersk, whose work (and new website) was brought to our attention by arkitip. hersk succesfully masters both fields that a graphic designer/artist faces: one the one hand commercial work that is often limited by clients' demands and - on the other hand - his own free artistic output. not that the latter shouldn't bring him any money... in an act of goodwill hersk started a small store where ltd. edtion prints are availalbe at the moment. visit regularely for more gear including tees, stickers, and wristbands. did we mention that we liked his stuff? hersk we do! see: images | more info and shop: hersk.com | wristbands, etc.: arkitip |
