Trapstar x Candy Store

On Friday i traveled up to Birmigham for the Trapstar instore at Candy Store followed by the Candy Store x Trapstar party. We started off by catching the coach from London at around 2pm and got to Birmingham for just before 5. Birmingham was more gutter than i had imagined, we were greeted with a whole leap of ex-industrial landscape and broken windows as we entered.

By the time we entered the city center Birmingham was coming strong and representing to the fullest for the West Mids. Eventually we made our way to the Candy Store. (thanks to Ian and his directions) The place was lively as hell! Being surrounded by a load of nice streetwear ish, banging basslines and nice people is comparable to none.

After a while jamming in the Store we headed down to Concrete. DJ's held it down. Oneman never fails to please.

After the party we headed back on the coach (props to 5star) where the main topic of conversation was squirters. Out to Starbucks for supplying the whole squad with semi-skimmed. Trapstar and Candy Store are doing the UK more than justice.

Skys the limit

Couple flicks - Southbank / Forest hill / Brick lane. As usual, would appreciate any feedback.

The Desktop Wallpaper Project

Bobby over at the Kitsune Noir blog has recently launched 'The Desktop Wallpaper Project' which involves 60 chosen artists designing individual wallpapers which will then be put up on the blog and can be downloaded to spice up you wallpaper every now and then. These are the first three of sixty:

Heres a few of Bobby's own radiohead inspired wallpapers.

This project is of particular interest to me due to its unconventional approach to the subject of 'art' and its confines. You may have already realised I tend to be more interested in design and art when they are taken out of the traditional or conventional sphere of 'art'. For me a wallpaper is likely to have more of an impact than a watercolour hanging in some obscure gallery as I'm likely to stare aimlessly at it for hours whilst wasting my life on a computer.

Notes of a scandal

My friend (Formally known as 'Quimby') has been on the receiving end of a number of complaints regarding his sordid late night activities.

The saga all began at the start of the 'Michaelmas' term when certain oriental neighboring personalities started posting anonymous notes.

The second installment arrived 2 months later. This time the creator was kind enough to use two different colours.

After a visit from none other than el 'senior (p)resident'. "Quimby" was kindly sent an official warning via email - "One more strike and your out".

That about sums up the bedroom saga. However recently a new challenger stepped into the arena operating under the alias of "Adam". His note was signed and thanked by Jackie (Chan?). This simply added insult to injury and provoked "Quimby" to offer some words of wisdom.

Kermit

Questions have been answered about the mysterious Kermit the Frog x Supreme posters in New York and LA. On March 3rd, there will be a photography exhibition in Paris at Colette showcasing shots of Kermit the Frog sporting a Supreme tee, shot by the photographer Terry Richardson.

Kick Flick

This was my first ever attempt at taking serious photos through the eyes of a camera. Most of the pictures document our late night outing to south bank. Would appreciate any feedback on the flicks.

I'm sad the picture of the San Miguels and Chicken didnt come out nice. More to come!
