Summer Camp Blog

I was put onto the Summer Camp blog by Lauren Laverne on 6Music. I love looking at the photos, (and that's all there is,) page after page of wonderful American photos. Some make me howl, some of them make me want to weep, they're so tragic. It's the feeling of surrogate nostalgia I feel, at the moments captured here, that interests me; I don't know these people but I have an affinity with all the images somehow, being alive gives me that, I guess. Have a look yourself, forget OldBooth and forget Hipstamatic, this is the real deal and I love it, hope you like it too.

Chris in the Big Smoke!!

Chris Bourkes work ends up in London this week. East end clothing store, Number Six is displaying a number of his lino cuts from tomorrow. There's quite a nautical feel to alot of the clothes for sale in the shop, Chris's work will fit in nicely as it has it's roots in traditional naval tattoo imagery.

Get yourself along there and check out the vintage fashion and the catwalk show, it'll breathe a breath of fresh air into an area normally occupied by high street stores and mediocre retail outlets. Takes place between 11am and 4pm.

Scott Beaumont Track Test

Redditch Premier, Scott Beaumont, recently posted a video on youtube. The video, taken with a helmet cam, shows how smooth the 'Redditch Raceway' is! It's looks irresistable. Track will be open in a few weeks as it needs to settle down and we need to complete some essential paperwork before anyone can officially ride it. For now, check the vid for a taste of joys to come!!
