jack and mac...

Enjoyed a few awesome days in ze Corn late this summer with my surrogate family, The Johns... A few days at Mojo house in Relubbus is always good for the soul and this trip was no exception... A few errands about town, some coastal adventures, cheese dreaming, a few pasties and a few more pints... Life in Cornwall rocks! Thanks for an ace week Family Johns... Loooove yooooou... x

berlin by night...

Sifting through the archives is always fun, especially for bringing back fond memories. I'm trying to get some images together to update my website and came across these pics from this time last year in Berlin... I'd finished up work around 1am and decided to roam the streets on my bike till the early hours setting up some long exposures... Fun times and a different perspective of one of my favourite cities...

whomp...

Ben Selway is a funny fellow... As such, the first printed incarnation of his magazine, WHOMP, is an amusing 136 page affair. It's jam packed full of interesting interviews and peculiar portfolios of talented people from all across the globe... You can get your copy here, and read more of Mr Selways silliness here...
Pretty packaging...
Cover kid says yes...
Advertisers please?

murrens days out...

My good friend Murren has many things going for him. He's a multi-talented man of many skills where cameras are involved, he's pretty damn good on a rolling plank and... he kind of looks like Steve Stiffler... Always quality to be around, we enjoyed a few days of cruising in Cornwall over the late summer... Good times...

glolf in the dark...

Twas a saggy Sunday in Berlin following the madness of a double barreled birthday weekend and our crew was in need of activity, though preferably nothing alcoholic or party related... So to the glow in the dark mini golf course below the old Gorlitzer bahnhof! 
There was some big talk of big skills (mostly from one Josiphylus Harisch) but by the halfway mark, it was the dark horses making moves for the victory. Twas an epic eve, and everyone walked away winners after a late night visit to the infamous Gorlitzer Huhnerhaus... Good people and good times... You can read more about Schwarzlicht golf here in a wonderful article penned by the eloquent Lucy Higgins...

Final scores...

the bethanian project...

While strolling around Kreuzberg on a recent Berlin trip, alongside hosts with the most Francis and Helga, we happened upon an exhibition at the Bethanian Kunstlerhaus which included a DIY bowl built by Dave the Chimp and friends... Fun, though not easy to skate, and aesthetically awesome, it's an amazing example of the skate community bringing creativity to the city... Check it out and have a shred while you can as it's due to go by the end of October!

mkwf...

While visiting Bristol over the summer, I spent some time hanging out with an artist friend, MKWF, and photographed some of his studio based work... He's got an infectious energy for life and all things artistic, and it was cool to see his space, setup and some of his more recent work... Keep it up yo!
You can check out some more of his work HERE...

peckham party...

Had a pretty damn sweet evening out recently at a pop up bar (currently all the rage) on a multi storey carpark in Peckham... Franks Cafe and Campari bar was it's name... Fans of the Negroni would have loved this place... Here's lookin' at you Naw... As a farewell to summer, we enjoyed copious amounts of the dry liquor and made are our own fun after the place closed (see below)... Awesomeness...
Peckham gangsters...
Wow, life sure is a human race...
Shardy sunset...

Just so happy!

Actually not THAT happy...

Waaaaaaahhhhh!

bristol st pauls...

Earlier in the summer I enjoyed an ace weekend in Bristol for St Paul's Carnival, the citys annual celebration of Africaribbean culture. We were treated to some fine hospitality care of Ms Claire Higgins, Mr Matt Harrison and embraced the free flowing good vibes from day to night...
The city's got an amazing energy and I can't wait to get back to do some more exploring...

trapsing along the thames...

Been doing some exploring on the bikes recently with the lovely and intrepid traveller Lucy Higgins... Greenwich Park has become a staple favourite with it's observatory and amazing views... So much more to see though and the cycle paths along the Thames are pretty sweet... Scoping spots for skating has been high on the list, even if all I can bring to a spot is a camera... Enjoy some SE scenery... Innit...
