kela

This year sees me marrying up with Killa Kela on his new album project. We have some exciting visual treats in store. These are some of the 'normal' press shots we did recently. Expect to see more in glorious 3-D soon!!


crystal palace


The Eiffel Tower of South London. Not at all as impressive as the original Crystal Palace that once stood here in 1854. But that burned down :(

amazing patterns

walkers

For those that don't know, the crisp manufacturer Walkers, or 'LAYS' as it's know in mainland Europe, did a competition for the public to come up with a new flavour of crisp for them. These are the six finalists...
Cajun Squirrel
Onion Bhaji
Crispy Duck & Hoisin
Chilli & Chocolate
Fish & Chips
Builders Breakfast

Myself and Primecuts decided to taste test all of them. Here's our verdict...

First up, Cajun Squirrel...
Weird combination. Absolutely disgusting. Tasted like moss on a old tree. Totally pointless. Hardly any Cajun spice, maybe a little tangy like a nettle. Rubbish.

Let's try onion Bhaji...
Completely boring. Similar to Cheese & Onion flavour but with no cheese and less onion. There was a slight aroma of Indian spices but not enough to interest us at all.

Next up, Crispy Duck and Hoisin...
Loads of Hoisin flavour, but a bit lacking in duck. Quacking average.

Time for some chilli and chocolate...
Chocolate flavour was very strange, very flowery, like someone sprayed them with perfume... Chilli really kicked in after a few seconds! An interesting mixture but really could have been done better.

Fish & Chips...
I think they should have called this one 'Fish and Vinegar'. I mean, you already have chips in there - crisps are friend up cooked potatoes - ie chips. Bit of a cop out. To be honest if I want to eat fish and chips I'll go and buy fish and chips, not some crisps with a weak flavour.

Finally Builders Breakfast...
Now these are some serious crisps. It's like a different person was in charge of doing the flavour for this one. Initially on Primecuts opening the packet I got a big whiff of egg, but this may just have been him farting. When I tasted them, boy were they good. Again I tasted egg at first but then almost immediately after I tasted bacon and then after munching for a bit I got tomato. And not just plan tomato but fried tomato. These are some special crisps, they really are a whole plate of greasy spoon fry up. I don't understand how they can flavour these up to release the different elements like that. These are ruly special and definitely our winner!

So overall pretty disappointing. It's as though Walkers are scared to apply strong flavour, most of them were so bland, we were expecting a real punch in the mouth. Hopefully Builders Breakfast will win, that shit is incredible.

catching my train

20:48 leave college and fast walk through the underpass to the tube station.

20:51 lift is at about to go, jump in... come out the lift, realise a train has just arrived, run up and down the stairs and jump in the train just as the doors close behind me.

20:57 arrive at London Bridge tube, doors open to optimum exit route, up stairs, walk up long escalator, out the barriers, cross the station, run up the escalators to mainline station.

20:59 run up platform tunnel to platform concourse, train is waiting.

21:00 on train

I look like crap, but you do not realise how happy I am.

At this time of evening my train only runs once every 30 minutes. Normally if I try to make this effort to get my train it fails and then I wait 30 minutes for the next one, I'm all worn out for no point. But this time I made it, the relief and satisfaction is immense, soon I will be home.

Moral: Do more interesting things with your life than run for trains.

sneakers: the completely falling apart guide

Found this book in my college library which I did the photos for many moons ago. I don't know who had the idea to do the high class padded cover binding, but it was obvious it would age very quickly...



At least people have been taking it out, since 2005! Ugh makes me feel old.

videos

I've recently been transferring all old stuff from PC to Mac, and found a load of old clips shot with my G9. Here's one where I demonstrate the glow in the dark ink on a Mysterious Al logo t-shirt. Bear in mind at the time of shooting this I had owned the t-shirt for over a year and washed it many many times.



HOT. Might be some still available on his web store if you wanna grab one.

up yours peace

The other day I got a package from J-J-J-Japan. Inside was this super nice t-shirt by Rezon.




Comes with 3D glasses and 3D card graphics. The t-shirt graphic isn't actually 3D - what you do is, with the glasses on, cover one eye to see the hand making the classic 'peace' sign, or cover the alternate eye to see the classic 'up yours' hand gesture.

Simple, punchy, like it.

attacked


Had an argument with a paper towel dispenser.

Oh and this was at the front of the racks in Rough Trade. 3D is everywhere.
