Under the pines
So I’m moving across to New York next week to immerse myself in the creative energy of a city which has always fascinated and intrigued me since I was young enough to know better. I’ll be based there until January next year and would love to meet up with artists, photographers, and musicians who have some time to show me the hidden secrets of the city. I’m sure there are many. From my limited experience in New York it seems like a giant playground for the creative and intrepid alike; a vast urban monolith where anything and everything seems possible. Although steeped in tradition, the city stands as a symbol of progression – both in thought and in construction. And it’s those that break away from the rigidity of conformity that make New York such an intriguing and exciting hub of creative expression. It’ll be an exciting few months.

I just checked out Zsolt’s portfolio of work.
It is Wizz Fizz for the eyes (minus that teeny weeny spoon that comes in every packet that looks like a mini-shovel).

Anyone who thinks black metal is too rigid and narrow a genre to have room for innovation would do well to check out Lifelover, a Swedish band that defies every convention of black metal while still remaining miraculously kvlt. The sextet wafts between languid, hallucinatory grooves that channel Iggy Pop and latter-day Cure to unhinged freak-outs that sound as if they’re emanating from the deepest, coldest forests of Norway.
There is something almost apocalyptic about the intense black and white decimated, chaotic landscapes that French artist Didier Blondeau lovingly depicts.

Marc Jacobs’ newly unleashed Autumn 08 collection hit the stage this week and if there is an international designer who I couldn’t appreciate any more, then it’s Marc. His signature patent-leather goods are the apple of my eyes and I think my MJ leather-quilted wallet, stam-bag and ballet mouse flats are being overlooked for Mark Jacob’s freshly launched red velvet trimmed pumps.

Square America is a photo blog that’s sort of like Found magazine, but with more rhyme and reason. The eerie, antique photos are organized by theme, subject matter, and even the ways in which time or lens imperfections distort the images. Read more

Hi Zolton,
A buddy passed this on to me.
His name is Adam Larkin and says that yr Pa was a good pal of his Pa’s; Tom Larkin.
I’m a photographer and have recently made the big step from NZ to NY.
Check out my site, although accept that it is now old and seems very provincial to me now that I have been ‘internationalised’.
Hope to meet up soon!
R,
Jono.
