Drawing on a tablet or smartphone is nearly as easy as drawing on paper — but most styluses lack the intelligence to really streamline the process. The Adobe Mighty & Napoleon Projects ($TBA) seek to change all that. The Mighty is a pressure sensitive digital drawing tool that uses Bluetooth LE to stay connected to your devices and features a button that can bring up on-screen menus for selecting different tools and colors. It's joined by Napoleon, a digital ruler that can create a digitally-projected edge used to draw shapes and lines. The plan is to use Adobe's cloud to share drawings and assets between devices, but as this is all in the experimental stage, it's hard telling what all might be included by the time they're ready for you to buy.

http://theblueprintmagazine.com/images_frt5/056_nudie1.png

Nudie Jeans continues on a path of establishing itself as a major denim player through a new release that pairs organic Pima cotton with traditional Japanese shuttle looms and Italian manufacturing. While environmental footprint wasn’t at the top of the list, the Scandinavian brand looked to create one of its highest quality offering yet. At the heart of the 13.5 oz jean is the organic premium Pima cotton sourced from a small scale farm in New Mexico, USA. The streaky fabric comes courtesy of the long fibers of cotton with a selvage finish. A limited run of 480 pairs are each individually numbered and come in a commemorative box. The jeans will be available exclusively online and at concept stores worldwide.

Conceptually driven towards durability and functionality, Casio G-Shock has worked on evolving and perfecting those aspects since its inception into the watch world back in 1983. To celebrate its 30th anniversary, the brand releases the DW-6930BS-8JR — a rendition of the DW-6900 — that was designed to epitomize the pursuit of toughness. Cast in classic silver metallic paint, the DW-6930BS-8JR uses inverted liquid crystal with a blackened dial to enhance visibility on the face. Other notable specifications include G-Shock’s Shock Structure, 20 BAR water resistance, battery life of around 2 years and all your expected digital functions. The watch also sports a special 30th anniversary logo on the back cover, as well as three marks for additional commemoration and the signature G-Shock seal placed in front. The G-Shock DW-6930BS-8JR can be purchased for ¥15,000 JPY (approximately $150 USD).
