Check this out…..When traveling to Tokyo.. It can be a little intimidating at first.. Just try reading the metro maps.. It’s looks like a bowl of spaghetti. Different train lines going every where.. It could be hard to navigate even if you knew how to read Japanese.. Shoot, don’t even bother looking up there if […]

The Man Be Hind The Walls

After meeting up with our distributors in Japan I met up with Yone. One of the illest photographers. The Terry Richardson of Japan. I first met Yone about 8 years ago in Tokyo… His been in the mix ever since. Producing and publishing countless magazines since I first met him. I got a chance to […]

Yone

On Sunday met up with artist Madsaki, fixed gear rider for life. Madsaki is one cool kat, he grew up in NYC, and during his later years in the States he got his hustle on as nyc bike messenger. He’s been riding fixed before it was cool. Madsaki took me to a sushi spot where […]

Madsaki and Meiji Shrine

Tokyo’s Spring Cherry Blossom Festival/Season is a very special time. The Sakura (Cherry Blossom) can be seen in many logo’s throughout Japan from hotel logos, Murakami artwork to man hole covers .. During this season when it’s in full bloom you get to see the beauty, power and the fragility of the Sakura. The shear […]

You’ve probably heard about the great weather L.A.’s been having lately. What you’ve heard is all true. It’s been too good.. it sort of makes me think it’s about time for an earthquake to shake things up.. but in the mean time peep our sunsets we’ve been having. Epic yo!

Cali Sunsets

Took the bike out today.. and went on a Sunday cruise..(it seemed like motorbike city..) Stopped by the class trade show, and then headed up pch for a little pre-sunset ride.

You pass by so many of the wonders of California, Death Valley, The Salt Flats, Red rock, The High Sierra’s, California Poppy Fields, Black Lava Rocks, Mono Lake, Convict […]

Fresh Pow

A lot of people have a love/hate relationship for Las Vegas. At times I really like it, but the whole Magic/Project show experience can be a drag. Or is it that no one likes to work while in Vegas, maybe that’s it.. Nightlife during Magic is always crazy…. So, many places to go.. and so […]

Magic/Project

1) Building on the left used to be an old wheat mill. The mill once used the water flowing through the canal to power grinder. Built in 1776 (Old as the U.S.). Travel a little further east past Bromley by Bow and construction is underway for Olympic games. 1) Historic building. Paul’s neighbor they share […]

1776

My last night in town; had a late meeting with a really nice director cat Giles and his assistant Kate over at the Shoreditch house. We met just a few hours before he leaves to South America for a month to shoot a new commercial. The Shoreditch house is a members only multi floor estate, […]

The Shoreditch House

1) Walked down the famed Savile Row, and walked by some of the old famed tailor studios. Sadly it wasn’t all that I had thought it was gonna be. One major reason for the let down was right at the start of Savile row was the biggest Abercrombie I had ever seen. They turned a […]

My first night stay was on Old Street in the Eastend.. What seams like L.E.S. of nyc.. Eastend is a little more diverse. You can find the NewRave kids, Rudeboys and Coolguys, all hanging around the way from each other.. A side note you know your in a good place if they have Kabab/Fish ‘n […]

EastEnd

This weekend in London was gorgeous. Was out all day and night. Check out amazing sunset on the river Thames. 1) Millennium Bridge 2) St. Paul’s Church

London Sunset

Enjoyed a stroll around the Sunday market and around Bricklane, in London’s Eastend. Bricklane on Sunday is wild, you’ll find loads of vintage shops and people hawk’n anything and everything they can.. Apparently this stems from an old ‘by law’ that states you can sell stolen goods between certain hours on Sunday. Ever since.. people […]

Bricklane

Had a long layover in Narita airport, and like most people I dread long layovers.. Chilling at the airport made me really miss Japan. I haven’t been to Japan in a couple of years, and it crossed my mind to head down to Toyko for a quick lunch before my flight, but then told myself […]

Refabricating City

Man, China is on the come up. The Peoples Republic of China is so ill. This place is the wild wild west but in the east. Cash rules everything around here. There’s a fine line of anything goes, but just don’t get caught doing something stupid. A country of contrast. Overnight billionaires to people still […]
