#ART

Album art is interesting to me. One of my best friend thinks he's a rapper and asked me to make a cover for one of his mixtapes (that hasn't been released yet) so I made a few. This is one that he didn't like but I rather enjoyed making. I think interpreting a body of music and expressing it visually through text and other things is fascinating and I can always become a recluse and make album art for albums that don't exist or ones that already have it.

Below is a photo of above mentioned rapper taken by me with other stuff I did in photoshop.

Over the past month or so, I have acquired several items from the outdoor brand The North Face. I'm quite fond of them as a company, and I take joy in a lot of the products that they make. I have somewhat of a micro obsession with staying prepared and having functional equipment on me (which stems from my style mantra of functional aesthetic dominance). Here are is a bum bag (UK slang) that has proven quite useful during travels.

Quite useful for storing things such as notebooks, maps, film rolls, writing utensils, and other things. There's a main zipper in the front (as displayed) as well as a zipper in the back which is useful for keeping important things such as your passport and fake ID's.

These are liner gloves which are useful for insulation and I assume they can be worn beneath The North Face's more rugged and weatherproof gloves. I quite like them because they are simple, but the North Face logo is subtle but still aesthetically pleasing. These are useful for any sort of nippy environment, and I personally found them handy on airplanes and other overly air conditioned environments.

Around a year or so ago I had long hair. It was pretty wavy I must say and I've been in the mood lately to grow it back. I've been quite fond of jun takahashi's style. Hopefully I'll be have some length in a few months.

(here are a few images illustrating that period of my life)
