Just got a sweet box from my man Bmo from The Hundreds. What’s sweeter than a old school swap. ”Yo, i lemme trade mine this for your that”. Dude, i’m loving the sox, the Bunyan Jacket and all the other goods. Big up Bmo, Big up The Hundreds and mazel tow for the year 2010! Something new will be born… Maybe this?… Or this?… Or maybe the fixed gear hype will take a new turn… . Who knows what the new year has to give and take…

World peace a.k.a let’s make the impossible happen in 2010.

Buenas Dias Hombres!

We just got a nice little feature of our Spring 10 line in Nylon Magazine, the Mexican edition of it to be exact. Feels nicely exotic as it’s mf*n freezing in Helsinki today. Wouldn’t mind being down there with a San Miquel in my hand, rocking my sombrero and cruising around the desert with my donkey…

Big up Nylon Mag! Love your content.

Gav sent me some pictures of him objectively capturing Helsinki in it’s darkest month. Some (high) lights here and there… The blurriness treats the pictures well. Finland appears a bit fuzzy due to it’s lack of light.

Good nights spent at the Glo Hotel in Helsinki. Nice design hotel that actually had someone doing the unfortunate Pulp Fiction move during Gavins stay. Don’t mix up your heroin and think it’s coke. O.D granted…

Streets of HKI!

Have to love the trams. Been riding them for free forever. Inside hint is to watch out for the Smurfs. They are the old ladies clad in blue who will bust you for riding without a ticket. It’s a 80 euro fee, so keep an eye out for them.. Even though i’m nowadays happy with occasionally paying for the ride as it is a great service…

Some images from Gavins display of works… Raving 89… Since 89!

More of the same….

The artist himself.. But who took the pic? Good work…

There’s an exhibition at the same venue that goes by the name of Young Artists… . They had some cool stuff in there. Polar bears are always cool i guess.

Suvi, the girl on the right is the one running the museum and she’s doing a heck of a job! Oskari on the left side knows a lot about a lot that you don’t know anything about…

Off to the after party.. Met a random dude… Is he the one who stole my signed Raving 89 book?

Yours truly. Courtesy of Gavin Watson…

Drinks are hard to get once the last 15 minutes hits in at the bar… While your trying to eye the bar tender down you’ll have someone keeping you busy with a dizzy conversation…

Thanks Gavin for the pictures and hope to see you in a warmer Helsinki soon.

This should have come up last week. But you know, weeks just seem to disappear.. Hours are seconds, days are fast passing moments and so forth. Anyways, our main man http://gavinwatsonsphotography.blogspot.com/ paid a visit in Helsinki for his Raving 89 exhibition opening at Kunst Halle. Good show and stellar chap that Gavin dude. He’s always sending me new and old footage that he’s been taking along his journeys.

Here’s an old pic of his brother Neville, who has appeared throughout the history of Gavins works. Rocking that RockaBilly steez with flare!

Neat bike and neat shades! Nev always appears with style!

Wow!! This is good stuff! The stellar magazine Surface, more exactly, the Chinese edition of Surface just chose the Finnish-Chinese Design Networking event Snowball as the best design event in China of the year 2009!

As you might have read before, CTRL was a part of it with the exhibition over at the stellar SOURCE store.

Big up to everyone who made this happen. Especially Design Forum Finland, Neebing, the multi cunning all over guy who made things click and The SOURCE who let us have our exhibition at their premises. Good way to wrap up the week…

XIU XIU!
