Tint - o- rama

Seem to be loving a tint this week. Maybe cause I'm thinking about paper types and colours for zine covers etc. See Liam paying sweet tribute to Jesus in this photo. Go check out his work, he is a demon on the needle. We used to do a hilarious thrash band, he got too thrash, i got too lazy, the rest is history. I don't think i could scream like that now if i tried. The things we do, luckily, we never got past rehearsals, otherwise it could have destroyed his future as a budding a talented tattooist! serious!

Bat those eye lids

So i just got these sweet shades made for our friends the Cancer Bats. Pretty stoked on them, be available on merch on their forth coming tour dates. Can i get an Amen?

jet setting stranger: Local Natives

So i met these guys on a recent flight from London to Lisbon. as absurd as it sounds, we all bonded over a very complex individual that seemed to board our plane in sunglasses, an all over print polyester green bubble print shirt, and quacked from London to Lisbon. No joke, give me a quack... that's what he did the whole journey.

i would like to thank him none the less, he broke the ice between a a set of highly creative dudes, and familiar faces that knew their music all to well. If you have not heard this band. Get your shit together. Phenomenal, beautiful, essential. They are by no means a one hit wonder, nor are they dreamy kids snapped up buy the impulsive A&R savages. They have cultivated their sound for years, until it was just right for fond ears. Not as a financial venture, but as creative suffocation.

if this does not move you, peace x RP

Portrait 2010- My Father

ITs been 7 years since i saw my dad, and it could be 7 again, so i took it upon myself to shoot a few portraits of him, and take away as many stories as i could on this trip.

Michael James Lloyd -2010

found

This is in fact a found image, but one i'm going to recreate with some vintage card school stencil letters i brought at a car boot sale last year. 2010 for Righteous P is about motivation and drive in small obtainable steps. pick the words that warm your heart wisely and you will indeed go far. Happy New year friends, welcome to the future.

Berlin ahoy

So in july we took a quick trip to Berlin for a trade show. We spent 2 days looking around, scoping things out. met up with key friends who were there for the same event and spent a relentless night of consumption in various apartments, bars, and restaurants. We have some seriously good food there, and the shopping is pretty sweet. Some of the window displays and merchandising there is like art in it-self.

One key historic building states in huge red neon lights "all art was once contemporary" which got us thinking. Anyway, some pretty nondescript images from a prolonged adventure.

IT ALL NEW

So here is the set design I did for a feature called 'New To Q' in this months issue of Q Magazine. yay.

facehunter, you got facehunted

this is from when facehunter stopped us in the street for a style shot, so we decided to shoot him back, and this was not over post codes

A quick look at Eggleston and his work in this trailer for Michael Almereyda's documentary film, William Eggleston in the Real World screening during William Eggleston on Film. Your a goon to not check out this exhibition t the whitney through to january.

Nicolas Cages son

So today i took a stroll around Manhattan, picked up a bunch of film and visited the famous B&H store for photo its and pieces. I'm pretty well equip now for my photo ventures here. Great news is that beyond NY we will be hitting up Joshua tree, Vegas, and new Mexico. So the American fix i go hunting for will be fulfilled. For now here is a little something that warmed me. This is Nicolas Cages son below. Hollywood is not all fake tan, white teeth and bullshit. This A Lister proudly attended his sons bands show at the Whiskey last week. Death Metal parental appreciation. Nice.
