Alife X Penfield

Two favourites, Alife and Penfield have collaborated on a windrunner for the ss08 line and is very different to previous colabs seen between the two brands. The light weight, mesh lined jacket has an adjustable hood and hem and features large ARC logo across the body with a small penfield logo on the chest.





The cost of this little number is £89 and is abilable from oki-ni and sizes go upto an xxl

Prison Dance

London Second Week- Thursday - South Bank and Can Carnival!

London- Free Day, on my One, doing a bit of touring:
South Bank :


so i have a day off due to some timetable confusion and i cant return early to birmingham, since i have an E Ticket, and you have to obide by thy holy book with those tickets. kinda frustrated that i cant come home early and relax, but i begin wondering wether this day may do me good.

quick phone call to ant and he suggests seeing South Bank; a well known spot across the Nation from what i can gather for the skater breed.but he seemed to rant on more about the Graff content there, and i was a bit confused as id never really heard of this spot for graff.

get off at Embankment, over the Millenium Bridge, past South Bank accidentally round the back, back on myself on the water front this time and im in fucking Nirvana.

one camera phone+ 45 minutes + a "memory full" sign on the camera + a big grin and a happy thanks phonecall to ant....check it....



















so i was cheesing. like, id just found a goldmine. never before have i seen so much colour, dimension and perfect scribble on any platform you can find. even after half an hour of photographing, i was still finding little sneaky pieces above me, below me, on the lights, and corners.

theres a kid you can see taging up, goes by the name of "One" who i get chatting to. he questions me after i say "i dont think ive ever seen so much graff in one place"

"serious brav'? ever ben to can carnival...s only da'an the road...its Banksys local spot, more graff than Sa'aaf Bank easy"


i dont believe him...


but we carry on 5 minutes from the London eye, and fuck me (s'cuse my Francais) he werent lying. but this was Art. spray can art. of all forms. stencils (by the thousand) cunning thought provoking pieces, portraits, murals, huge layups, stickers, all in a quarter mile tunnel. no wonder they caled it a carnival, place was illuminated with colour....














amazing find, but my phone memory was jam packed...ill return to the spot many a time with bare people. wanna get Amy down with her camera too, get some nice crisp shots. definately a photographers spot.

shouts to A Force for the link, and "One" for being a guide.

*toast to South Bank and Can Carnival, Graff hotspots of the UK*

Rogers' day of birth

After Amys part on the friday i was feeling a bit rough, i think the bargain bin budwiser might have played a large role in that. I opted out of med bar because i didnt feel i could last till 4-5 in the morning so i decided to attend a few parties i knew were happening the same night.
First stop was Staceys party at Pheasey park farm, wasnt saying much at all, a few conversations with people miced with speedy G and bassline and i was set to leave when the clock struck 10.
Much confusion with the taxi rank and driver was had before eventually getting to Rich Rogers' house for his 19th and Marks 17th. The biggest speakers and most technical set up ive ever seen at a house party was bangin' out the tunes and plenty of free beer was saying alot. There was also a rediculous amount of people there due to the large Rogers clan and a special guest appearence from no other than MRS OLDHAM! (remember her? the supply teacher). I decided to test out the old theory of drinking yourself out of a hangover and this time it somehow worked. A nice vibe all around with many people busting a move or 2 in the conservatory.

'ayyyyyyyyyyyyye'

K.I.C's biggest fan

Andy Jordan and Charles

After everyone was nicely intoxicated out came a bald man in swiming shorts and went maverick style into the hot tub. I was not prepared to venture into the tub due to a lack of suitable clothing and the high male content however this didnt stop a number of people jumping in, some fully clothed and a few more people being pushed/dragged in. After a while some girls also went in with a little help from other people.

High male content


Topped with a few girls

Much confusion at the end of the night due to lost clothing, some never to be found (Chales' jeans :s)
An excellent night eventhough it killed me to last till around 2-3ish

Happy belated birthday to Mark and a future happy birthday for Rich

Word Up.

Hello team!
I have finally managed to sort my internet out so i'm back.
This is just a quick update, mainly to say yo to everyone..
I haven't really been capturing the events that i've been going to because i was rollin without my cam and also i had no way of putting them on the blog. However, from today i will be blogging any further events.
The first 5 days of uni has been crazy. I've met about 200 people and i now know bagga' faces and names lol. The vibes are nice around here and i personally think that i am lucky to be in the block and floor that i am. We got good peeps and good vibes.
Been up to a lot of things and had some mad adventures already. As you all know brad moved in on tue so we been chillin together too, along with introductions to both sets of friend groups which has been good for both of us.
There's too much to tell really but everything is going ok.
It is kind of weird not being at home in the normal environments and i woke up this morning feeling quite disorientated.
All in all it is a very eye-opening experience.
Missing you all.
Get up here team!

Word.
Yaboi rk.

London - First Week - Last Thursday- Brick Lane and Shorditch

Still in Induction, on the second day we were instructed not to go into college, but rather meet up Shorditch High Street, round the back to a place called Brick lane, into a store called Rough Trade Records, to look at some underground shit.

me being me, cursed myself on the blower to Jordan "ahh itll be piss to find" coming out of Liverpool St. station.

hour and a half later i arrive, with a folder in my phone full of pictures from the past hour and a half being distracted by my lack of co-ordination skills, and the sourrounding vibrant walls that live in Shorditch. man was i stoked.....

Brick Lane

so i continue on and eventaully come to my destination.the place seemed familiar to The Village thats in our Custard Factory, stylish shops, exclusive products, rare foods, and underground people.

after digging in a few crates, and finding some sick looking 12"'s i continue outside and take a closer look at its sourroundings

cut a long story short, the area turned out to be a strong artistic piece of londons territory, offering art (on the walls) from the likes of Banksy and OBEY man Sheppard Fairey and KAWS. these were also reflected in the stores around the area, with a good stock of
stuff for the "scaliwags and fresh kids" (Cool Kids- '88)
