I’m part of the panel at this tonight, I think it’s going to be really interesting. The overly flattering blurb goes like this: “A panel discussion in conjunction with The Vinyl Factory as part of the Diesel School of Island Life, bringing together creative thinkers that have pioneered new trends in music.”

London art collective Ishihara are putting on a special event for the Queen Of Hoxton’s second birthday. Throughout the whole first week of March, artists including James Ari King and Sarah Langford will add new pieces and installations to the venue, starting with the outer walls culminating in a full exhibition (and party) on Sunday 6th March. A nice idea I reckon. The last exhibition of their’s I went to was genuinely pretty interesting, mainly thanks to the discovery of Richard Sanz’s work: beautiful, tripped-out psychedelic stuff to watch as you listen to The Black Angels on repeat.

Recently been looking for some new furniture and found this amazing London based furniture designer called Rupert Blanchard who collects different odd draws and then rehouses them in plywood boxes.
His blog, Styling & Salvage, is a really good read, it has loads of stories highlighting where he has sourced all the different draws from all over the country.
With an all star cast including Koby Bryant, Kanye West, Bruce Willis and Danny “Machete” Trejo, this 5 minute long Nike advert directed by Robert Rodriguez, surely must be up there with the most expensive adverts ever made. Very cool indeed.. even if you don’t like basketball!
Trousers London, a friends London based premium jeanswear label has produced a new video to promote their work called ‘Denim Architects’.
Directed by one of the co founders Arturs Naumovs, they used a unique technique involving two Canon 5D cameras at slightly different angles to produce a very interesting 3D effect around the focal figure. The original soundtrack is also very well done.
