well well well
I know I have been away too long.
Hope you missed me although my blog is not the most interesting blog you can read.
I have been very busy with producing new work with perspex and photography (sooooo expensive because the price of perspex is directly influenced by the price of oil)
I'm also having a new tattoo drawn to cover the...

I just got the licence for my Vespa!
I'm sure I won't stand any other way of transport, especially automatic gear moped. They're for dull and grey people who don't enjoy riding bikes as a sport itself.
I can't wait till tomorrow, it's gonna be sunny in Rome and I'm going here and there changing gears wearing a scarf like a 60s lady.
Wish me...

I found this out this morning and I'm thinking I'll definitely have to make areservation there soon.
A hotel in France gives guests the chance to live like a hamster - where you can eat grain, run in a giant wheel and sleep on hay.
The rate is 99 euros a night, but is soon to go up as today's hamsters need wi-fi and a...

The bicycle has close ties to France, having been invented there and celebrated in the Tour de France. Its parts have also been...

following Oldenburg's first post,here is the second one, as promised.
This is the one in Barcelona, and can be found at a crossroad in an anonymous suburb.
A 68-foot-high sculpture based on a matchbook cover. Folded back so that the cover formed a base, the matches were bent, as if by use, with the exception of one erect, flaming match. Loose matches, some "burnt," were...

So basicly my blog is probably going to lean towards art and stuff I find cool being a visual artist myself.
Claes Oldenburg is my favorite sculptor. He does huge, stunning shapes in public areas around the world. I love planning trips to Europe just to see his artwork.
The original Houseball was based on the idea that one could gather all one's possessions in...

There's no better way to start my blog than describing an exciting and different place to go.
The Doodle bar in London is a bar where anyone can go and draw on the white walls. Posca is the main sponsor, that's why they decided to take this direction.
BUT always make sure it's open before you get there and have a bad surprise, in fact,...
