Baths

Will Wiesenfeld's album Cerulean has been a highly acclaimed album on the underground scene since it's release and his track 'Lovely Blood Flow' is beautiful with an even more beautiful video. Wiensenfeld combines an eerie storyline with stunning graphics to create something very special.

Nicholas Kirkwood Fall 2011

Want...

I find these ... interesting?

I'm expecting to find some eyes staring back at me under this wooly fringing

Perfect fall colour

Nicholas Kirkwood's Fall 2011 collection has come to my attention, mainly because I love the chunky platforms (especially the leather fringed boots) but also because of the lambs wool fringing, which I'm finding hard to envisage without it looking a bit pony? However, the use of Mongolian lambs wool works perfectly on other designs with small influences (as with the grey stiletto peep-toe boots), this is what Kirkwood does best, using delicate hints of gold plating, pony hair and wool combined with beautiful leathers and intricate patterns.

It's a really diverse collection, so check it out...

Fair Ohs

I have recently been introduced to the Fair Ohs and keep playing their very entertaining video for 'Everything is Dancing'.

Made up of Eddy Frankel, Matt Flag and Joe Ryan the Fair Ohs have a great sound which is sits somewhere between energetic punk pop and sleepy rock, they describe themselves as 'Like Paul Simon but, you know... punk'. It's perfect summer listening...we just need a summer.

I want to be this bird, insane feathers.

Huge bird envy right now.

Maverick Sabre

Over the past few weeks I've developed a slight obsession with Maverick Sabre and after looking him up I realised he had done some big collaborations which I was already a fan of; 'Jungle' with Professor Green, 'I just wana sit' with Chattabox & Sam Otis, 'Fire in your eyes' with Chase & Status, 'In the air' with True Tiger & Professor Green.

Maverick's just finished touring with Snoop Dogg and his career is about to rocket. His voice has tones of Finley Quaye to it and Maverick has one of the most bizarre accents I've heard (thanks to being from Stoke Newington and growing up in Ireland).

Favourite tracks are; 'I need', 'Look what I've done' and 'Run to the roof', get your ears around these...

Kids Love Ink

Recently a good friend of mine got inked by Charlie Shazer of the Kids Love Ink family at his new shop on Cheshire Street (off Brick Lane) and it's got me thinking about my next design.

Charlie is the most talented tattoo artist I have witnessed and his free-hand skills are pretty special to say the least, I was completely mesmerised. Drop him a line if you're considering some new ink, his work is stunning.
