ITS#FASHION
My friend Mark Fast took part in the international competition for fashion design students and young fashion designers, ‘ITS#FASHION.’ He had to submit a picture for the competition and the picture to the right is what we came up with.
Un frère
A picture from my recent 10 days at Nordstrand summercamp with my beloved brother. We certainly kept those kids in a tight strap.
The Cool School
Last winter I had the great pleasure of watching the documentary ‘The Cool School’ at the BFI in London. Now the ICA are showing it again during the ‘Shoot Yr Idols’ season. This is a very good film about the LA art scene during the Beat era of America and should be a must for anyone interested in art and film!

Yes!
Walked through Camden Town today and the sight of The Hawley Arms was actually very encouraging.
No!!!
This is one of my favorite pubs in London, The Hawley Arms, going up in flames during the big fire in Camden Market last night. Today is a sad day…
