Covers part 1

I've always loved the cover of i-D magazine. with it's

winking beauty.

When I was studying design way back when, I would

buy it along with The Face, every month for inspiration.

It was also these two mags that first got me into street-

fashion.

Woodwork

This carved sculpture in Auckland really has something

about it that attracted me.

I think its that whole island vibe thing , and the use of

native woods and Maori imagery.

Very cool don't you think ?

Treetop gallery

Sydney's Art and About Photography exhibition was

so amazing this year and tackled such a variety of

subjects from street violence , to isolation caused by

mobile technology and recycling on the street.

All this hanging high in the trees in the city centre.

This art might not have been seen by many

people at all if it was hung in a gallery.
Not that I don't like galleries, but it just shows you how

showing art in public spaces helps it reach a wider

audience.

Love it !

Union Jack

Go- Kart Speedway

Who Needs Curtains?

The Buddhists of Suburbia

Can you believe these sculptures I spotted in the same

markets (outside the Kings Palace ) in Bangkok as per

my post a few days ago?

Thats right, I said sculptures!

These miniature Buddhist monks were incredibly lifelike down

to every little detail , sunspots, spectacles and all.

Moustache Mania

How's your Movember going ?

Streets in Bloom

In every city I travel to, on every street, flowers are

blossoming in every incarnation possible.

Long live flower power.

Chewy

RANDOM!

Treasure Trove

I could have spent an entire day fossicking through all

the vast collections of oddities at this market just

outside the King's Palace in Bangkok.

You name it, it was for sale there!

These Booties are made for Walking

Wallpapered again

Thai Boxing fliers were all over Thailand.

I think it is more like kick boxing. Does anyone

know much about this sport?

TIKI Love

The Tiki is a Maori talisman,

representing the unborn human embryo

and is a symbol for good luck and fertility.

I like this street art version holding a

spray can with a small love heart in

it's centre.

Red Tights

A Very Bristly Subject

Ok Barbie Let's go Party

One of the photographs in Sydney's yearly Art and About

photography contest in Hyde Park.

The theme is always Sydney life. Stay tuned for more

in the coming weeks.

Keeping cool, Bangkok

Great shirt style in Bangkok.

I can't believe I was there just prior to

the floods and now what was a buzzing

city is knee deep in water.

I am sure the people of Bangkok with

there wonderful optimistic attitudes

are putting on a brave face.

I heard a young guy was floating down

the street wearing a mermaid tale

fashioned out of plastic bags...now thats

smiling in the face of adversity!

Planet of the Apes

Phi Phi Island style

Boat style on Phi Phi Island had a real bohemian vibe,

all batik sarongs, flat worn leather sandals, garlands of

bright flowers and simple fishnet lighting.

Hope you get a feel for it from these shots..

Tiled to Perfection

Anyone who has meandered up Crown st

in Sydney's Surry Hills will be familiar

with Route 66, a very cool shop thats a bit

cowboy- meets -rocker- meets- Gus Van

Saint-meets- Rebel Without a Cause-meets

...you get the jist...!

So these tiles surround its doorway,

and they are wonderful..I want them in

my bathroom.
