RAD ROWDIES

My friend Nicholas Platzer, from the notorious INOPERABLE gallery in Vienna recently braved the rain, ice and snow to partake in the annual bike race, Piratislava. The journey starts in the city of Vienna, Austria, and continues through the shittiest of weather conditions to Bratislava in Slovakia.

Campags and Campfires
In August I made the equally pleasurable and painful journey from Exeter to Bude, on the coast of Cornwall. With a bike a tent a camera and a friend, not realising just how hilly that part of England actually is. There’s a little piece I wrote for Level here with photographs by myself and Simon Peplow. There are a few more photos over at Flickr.
Monster Kids.

While in Australia, Claire and I got to meet the Monster Children and wrote a mushy post about it with nice photos. It was one of our favorite magazine before we ever had a copy.

CONCRETO 2 MEXICO CITY

Alert the hombres in Mexico City: CONCRETO 2 opens this Wednesday, October 28th. A number of Mumblers are participating in this museum exhibition of various works on / using paper. I’m headed down tomorrow to install a 25ft long “zine”. I’ve also completed a limited edition zine documenting the works of various participating artists in the exhibition. If your lucky enough to be in Mexico City for the opening, I’ll be handing them out… or trading them for shots of Mescal!
Derek Fukuhara Slashed
Lurking through the files and found a crooks photo of Derek Fukuhara when we were on our Portugal trip earlier this year. It was obviously the same session as this photo, and Derek was just slashing around. That was a great trip, and we just enjoy’d life. Skatetrip was what it was.. but, it was quite the vacation! Thanks Oli, Louie, Derek and the Ezekiel Euro team!

Hey Kids! I’m in NYC!

My lifetime membership to the NY club isn’t free.
Brooklyn to be specific! I just relocated here last week and am figuring out work situations. Looks like a 7 day work week. I went around taking pictures in Park Slope today, as well as meeting with Todd St. John, the other half of the GL, HUGA, Benzel and St. John super duo. Here are a few pics that turned out particularly well. If you’re in NYC contact me! I don’t have many friends here… yet.
Back from a Long Drive, Happy to be Mumbling
My girlfriend Jessica, myself, and our dog Chapeau recently drove from Calgary to Halifax and back. We stopped all along the way to visit friends and family, and never once did we run out of gas or get a ticket. Now that we are back and settled, with the film processed, it’s time to start sharing.
