It's Just A Phase

I made a logo for my friend Chris's blog. It's called "It's Just A Phase" obviously..... I sacrificed my pantie.
I hope he likes it. I'll put his blog link when it's up (and if he uses my logo! haha....) It's Just A Phase

友達のクリスがブログをやり始める事にしたらしい、 奴のブログ名は"It's Just A Phase" (イッツ　ジャスト　ア　フェイズ) 訳すと、一時期熱狂的になるけどすぐ冷めてしまう事を指す。
クリスはロンドンのお気に入りのバンドについてブログを書くそうだ。面白くなりそう。そこでそのブログのロゴを作ってあげた。みんなロゴというと紙とペン、今はイラストレーターを使うのが主流やけど、
わたし、自分のお気に入りの金のパンティーを犠牲にして、そこに刺繍をして、それを写真にとって、それをロゴにした。
クリス見る前から絶対使う！とか言って、、、
気に入らんかったら使わんでエエで、って言ってんけど、作って見せたらめっちゃ気に入って使ってくれる事になった。It's Just A Phase

CaRRi

This is Carri CASSETTEPLAYA. I visited her at her studio today, really cool space.

今日お友達のキャリことカセットプレーヤーのスタジオにお邪魔した。すごい良い子、帰りにTシャツくれた。
写真撮ったよ、フォトグラファーとしての素質あるかな？　って趣味なだけやけど構成とか補正するの面白い。楽しいもん。

I took these photos, she's so pretty and photogenic.

This is my lovely friend Simon who is in Klaxons. Tonight he took me for dinner in Arcola Street, Turkish restaurant. We had lamb chops, it was so good! The best Turkish restaurant in London!!!!!!!!!

今日はサイモンクラクソンズがディナーに連れってってくれた。 近所のトルコ料理屋さんでラムをたべた。めっちゃ美味しかった！いま２枚目のアルバムの曲を書いてる最中やねん。 暫くツアーはお休みやって。

Simon is moving house soon, everything is packed in boxes now.......

そのあとサイモン家寄って帰って来た。 サイモンもうすぐ家引っ越しするねん、
奴の冷蔵庫に貼ってあったあの子が撮った私の写真、「あっそうそう、この写真
忘れんと持って行こう。」って言ってはがして、引っ越し準備のできあがった段
ボール箱に入れに行った。

Gilbert & George

This is the artists Gilbert & George, they come to this Turkish restaurant called Mangal just round the corner from my house every single night. We bump into each other all the time, especially when I'm waiting for a bus to go to shordick for a drink at night round 9:30pm, and when they go back home to their fashion street... So we now say hello to each other.... "Hello, I remember you, you are very stylish...".
So I took a picture of them last night.

Amazing thing about their work is 2 old men being completely naked.
Just that.

Autograph

I know I'm childish, but I can't help it, I went to Pure Groove record shop today,
they asked me to sign my 7"s. So I did.... I hope someone buy them.

Over 18!!! comes with full colour naked pictures of PRE/Aids Wolf inside.

Lightspeed Champion

Here's my friend Dev, aka Lightspeed Champion, Today I interviewed and photographed him for a London magazine.
He told me that he is very bored with having so many interviews right now, so I came up with loads of embarrassing questions. He liked my interviews. Thanks Dev.

Q. Your flat is messy and stinky, how often do you clean your bathroom?

Q. I helped being in your music video for free, what do I get in return?

Oh yeah, I found this polaroid on Dev's fridge door, Simon Klaxons took this
when I helped playing guitar in Rat:Att:Agg supporting Klaoxons a year ago
I told Simon that night I'm better than him, but he said I wasn't... I had to
learn my guitar part 7 songs in 3 hrs the night before the shows though.......

Rough Trade East
Hoxton Boutique
No-One Shop & Cafe
Cay Tree (Vietnamese restaurant in Old St.)
