Even if you’ve never personally set foot in New York’s Time Square or West Hollywood’s Sunset Strip, you know how important billboards are to both locations. You’ve seen them in pictures, TV shows or films. They’re iconic. As part of West Hollywood’s plan to revitalize and update the history of outdoor advertising on the Sunset Strip, they held a design competition to build the billboard of the future. Tom Wiscombe Architecture and advertising company Orange Barrel Media beat out the likes of Zaha Hadid and Gensler with Sunset Spectacular. Sunset Spectacular is over sixty feet tall and made up of over 70 prefabricated stainless steel components (some weighing up to 35,000lbs) that, when combined, create a sculptural piece reminiscent of the Aggro Crag from Nickelodeon’s Guts. Two sides are covered in enormous digital screens that are primarily used for advertising purposes, but as part of the deal, the screens will also display unique works from emerging and internationally recognized artists. This is a billboard worth traveling to visit.

The PAX Plus Vaporizer Is as Elegant as It Is Effective
Whether at home or on-the-go, when it comes to vaporizers, we want it all. We want to be able to use full flower or potent concentrates depending on the mood–and keep it smooth without any harsh smoke. We want multiple modes for unique combinations of flavor and vapor. We want an oven that’s as easy to clean as it is adjustable depending on the length of the session. Sounds impossible, right? It’s not with PAX Plus. In addition to packing all those features into one perfectly portable device, it’s also one the most sleek and stylish products that’s come out recently.
