A couple of months ago I spent a weekend in Madrid to see Antonio López’s exhibition at the Thyssen Museum. As you read this I am in Madrid seeing another exhibition by another amazing artist. But let’s focus on Antonio, shall we? Antonio López is a Spanish painter and sculptor who offers a hyperrealist take [...]

Notes from a meme-brarian
I wish I could remember when I first heard the word meme. It was probably on LiveJournal talking about surveys, though breaking into my old account proved fruitless. I’ve always been really interested in the internet, connecting with other people long before social networking was a thing. I made my first internet friend when I [...]
New zine now on sale
As some of you might remember, I lost my grandfather in Christmas last year. He would have turned 90 today. This is us circa 1987/8 This untitled zine was created as a way of coping with his loss and celebrating his life. It features 20 pages of drawings accompanied by things he said to me, [...]
Look, a “serious” outfit post
I have to admit that I am not the greatest fan of fashion blogs. I follow a selected few run by people who have a unique style and mix fashion with other aspects of their life, rather than focus on designers, new collections and fashion weeks. That shit’s not for me. If I am good [...]
Beverly Hills 90210: Season 3
I have to start this post by saying that I am hugely disappointed that the crew graduates in season 3. 3 out of 10! Seriously, what’s up with that? What the hell are the other seasons about? I guess watching an episode a week when you’re 9 years old and time seems to pass really [...]
Hamburg 2009
Have you seen that new Facebook feature that shows you what your status was 2 years ago today? I hate it. I hate it because I don’t want to be reminded of fun times when I’m not emotionally ready for them. The other day Facebook kindly reminded me that 2 years ago I was going [...]
Bright Brussels
I’ll be honest, the first time I went to Belgium I thought that it looked like a newspaper; grey, red (like the economy pages) and green (like the ads). This made a lot of sense in my mind and it can be explained by the fact that I arrived on a very rainy day after [...]
Picasso in Paris
A few days ago I spent the day in Barcelona (where I will be at the time of this post’s publishing) and I took advantage of some free time to visit the temporary exhibition at Picasso’s Museum. Devorar París shows works painted by the Spanish artist during his first stay in Paris from 1900-1907, as [...]
Amsterdam in redscale
I am very excited to share my first ever redscale film. I used Rollei Redbird 400 and I think I will definitely be using it again, although I’d like to try the Lomography one too. Does anybody have experience with redscale film? Which one did you like best?
Q: Is twitter useful?
A: I don’t know, but feel free to follow me here. If somebody asked me how twitter works, how to use twitter, how to get more twitter followers or any other serious question related to this micro-blogging platform I honestly wouldn’t know how to answer. I’ve found twitter useful in three occasions: 1. To buy [...]
Monet in Amsterdam
I promise this is the last post about Amsterdam’s light, but who would be better at capturing it than an Impressionist painter? I’d never seen Monet’s paintings of Amsterdam before. I think I’m in love. All images are taken from Photopoésie’s flickr
Beverly Hills 90210: Season 2
[spacer size="20"]I stated my never-ending love for Beverly Hills 90210 (the original) when I wrote about the first season. And although I’m sure incredulous minds would never think I was serious when I said I’m going to watch it all again, I am in fact dead serious. And I am loving it all over [...]
