On the subject

Good old Jason showed a David Lynch documentary at Long Play. It was quite a Lynchian event in the end.

For some reason, all the skin came out bright blue. Quite amusing indeed, especially when Jason tried to fix it.

Eventually, we just settled back and took it in, Avatar style. Lynch, what a great chap. Jason, what a great chap also.

Back at the office, someone left a contemporary art piece sitting around.

On the subject of work, we went to see Penny (who I worked with until recently) interview Mike Mills (who I interviewed recently) as part of the film festival.

Amongst the star-studded crowd were these two characters: Scottie and Tim.

The Forum is a crazy place. Mike Mills is a good guy. His film Beginners made me cry.

I've been quite busy at every turn of late. One thing I've been working on is a contribution to the Denim exhibition, opening this Friday evening at Mr Kitly.

Photobucket

It was exciting seeing what everyone else has been up to, and to look through the amazing catalogue Dell has made. I look forward to Friday night to see it all!

Speaking of jeans, I got a new batch of 'Max' jeans! They are great. I am wearing a pair right now. They are a touch more roomy in the leg than the last lot, and have a few more features. Made of the same good stuff.

Photobucket

There will be some pairs for sale at the show this Friday night if you would like to have a look. When I get Scottie to photograph them and stuff, I'll put them up for sale on the internet and so on.

Speaking of the internet, Tess has been causing quite a stir with her modelling skills in the new dog coat. Have a look at the Best in park site! or the Note to Self site for more professional photos than this one of her at the park this morning.

Also, I was interviewed by Sunday Ganim for the Blackmail this week. I am chuffed!

Links

These winter months pass by with nary a blog post, but 'tis not for want of trying. It's not as if I'm not still getting up to mischief, au contraire. In the place of beautifully composed photos of Jason, Sam and co at the pub or skateparks, I have a couple of links to share.

Firstly, I spoke to artist, designer, director and dog lover Mike Mills a while ago and wrote an interview for the new dog-centric site Four. He seems like a lovely man and the interview link is this sentence.

Ed has just launched his site called The Heavy Mental. It is awesome and I have written two things for it so far: an interview with Lev Tanju of Palace Skateboards and another interview with Fergus Purcell aka Fergadelic, a very inspiring fellow. A link to the site is in this sentence. I hope to write more for both of these guys soon.

I am also making something for a show all about denim opening next Friday! Dell Stewart curated it and it's at Mr Kitly in Brunswick.

Meanwhile, new jeans are on the boil! As well as the chino pants made in cahoots with Passport, that is.

Photobucket

What's this fellow up to?

Photobucket

Why, making the labels for my new luxurious jeans!

Photobucket

Ah, what the hell. Here's Sam and Jason!
