Duncan bought a WBASE hot pink cruiser. Niiiiiiiiiice


It was Matsuri festival time. Lots of men in shorty shorts


We were able to go Kalavinka!! Mr Tanabe doesnt do visitors that often, so it was amazing to be there. He showed us the moulds he has to make luggs,and also his first carbon frame. Dooooooope.




Hal looked after us so well. We went to the best food spots!


Bambi got some new kicks, by his friend Alexander Lee Chang who did a collab with Vans. Im not a massive fan of hi-tops but these are swish..

Jack from Thomas St Post Office Store in Manchester sent me Reed Pages (feat. Joe from Brooklyn Machine Works...yay!) thankyou!!. Someone from Fixe dropped us some copies of the new mag.

Loads of mags including Japanese porn...really softcore! haha...not sure who brought this back, Andy or Ted, Im kind of worried...


On the other side of the world, my sister Jo has been making jewellery. Amazing. She's just been to San Fran, Phoenix, NYC and then back to San Fran!! (On the right is some nail oohla we got in Tokyo for Sharma - something WahNails never seen...!)


But yeah Tokyo was amazing. The people I met, illed with, mannn I feel lucky to have met them. Cant wait til everyone comes to visit us in London! I need to learn some Japanese...

Roses really smell like...

You know how people write ' My ideal sunday would be...' well I was thinking about it - and its pretty much how I spend it every week.
Wake up, chuck the kettle on, tea, head down to Colombia Road flower market, coffee at Nick's, pick up some Peony's, head to Brick and check out what the china man has in parts, then look for a steel 1pound 15ml spanner (where have they all gone?!) get to work and chill all day. Afterward varies. Staying back at the shop, go to London Fields and drink in the sun, or just go home and watch a good doovd.

I got sunflowers this time. And a flower sculpture from that guy that does it for a buck and I usually say no to, but this time said yes. And I got a rose too infact. Just in black and white...



Lastly, just a heads up -

www.wunderkindmagazine.blogspot.com

Gotta hype. Check iiiiit.

Wheels in motion..

So finally I am motivated. Finally!!! Fuck. Anyway things are underway for the magazine - I interviewed Sanna and Juliet yesterday - they were so great, couldnt have answered my questions better!

Got Peony flowers from the Colombia Road - so amazing - although they look better on my arm! Mmm maybe I should have got colour...

Went to Frith St after hours and Stefano tattooed me for his portfolio. I dont know why, as he is really really good already. And has only been tattooing for 5 months. So so good.

Met Dagmara today for PingPong. They had really good toilet paper and we need some...bahahaha steeping so low...! But the food and tea was worth it.

Stolenspace has been rented out for a few days and tonight was the launch for a new skateboard exhibition - kind of like No Comply but not. Stu's was the best by far!! Fuck yeah!! But Lucas Deverell's, was good too. I only met him today.

So much to do. So little time... And Issue 4 is ready to arrive on Friday..shit thats tomorrow? I think Ive already mentioned it looks like the best one so far. And in the background I can see Macaframa which has been out on DVD for only a little while, so I just getting your paws on that one.

Out.
