Hi Everyone!
I went along to see the new film New York, I Love You
this week and I loved it right back.
Bought to us by the same people that made the memorable
Paris, Je Taime (2006), the film is a series of short stories that
are meant to capture characters and characteristics of
New York, today.
It felt sexy and voyeuristic, quirky, happy and sad - but not too sad!
Most reviews have said that it doesn't quite stand up to it's
predecessor but I really enjoyed it.
The preview for Sofia Coppolla's new film was released this
week and it looks FAB!
It's called Somewhere and it doesn't release until December
but here is a peek, if you haven't seen it already -
There are a few great indie band gigs on this week.
Tonight, there is show on at Burst City
with Sleepwalks, Peel Street Band, Community
and Sunshine State.
The show runs from 7pm to 11pm, is BYO and only
$5 entry.
Also tonight, is the Nikko CD launch at The Zoo,
with supports Mr Maps, AXXONN and Loomer.
Doors open at 8pm and tickets on the door are $15.
On Saturday night there is another good show on at
Cubbyhole with Kitchen's Floor, Feathers,
Velociraptor and Absolute Boys.
This starts at 9:30 and I think will be one of the last
official Cubbyhole shows at this venue?

Charlotte Rampling in Crush Fanzine
I seem to be obsessed with illustration at the moment and keep coming across
these amazing pieces.
This is an illustration of the gorgeous Charlotte Rampling and is taken from the
latest issue of Crush Fanzine.
I'm not sure who the illustrator is and unfortunately the zine is not available in
Australia but you can check out more about it here...

My recent talk at the Queensland Art Gallery on the inspiring
headwear of Maison Michel has also left me obsessed with
the illustrations of Cedric Rivrain, who drew their Spring/Summer
2010 campaign.
These drawings above, are a small sample of his "fashion muses"
series and you can see more on his website:

What's New at The Outpost?!
As Above So Below, Will Sweeney London
16 pages, 19.5 x 25.5 cm, five colour offset, first edition 2010
$17
Will's journey started after he graduated from London's Royal College
of Art in 1998 and his distinctive work set off a chain of interest in
modern graphic design, inspiring similar, commercial work.
You might remember Will Sweeney from other works such as Silas & Maria,
the Gas Book series, Alakazam and Tales from The Greenfuzz.
He has also famously done cover art work for Beck and Architecture in Helsinki.
This book is his latest offering and is a visual narrative based on a series of randomly
selected photographs from his collection of National Geographic Magazines that
date between 1940 to now.
As Above and So Below is available exclusively in Queensland at The Outpost.

I don't know what I'm wearing yet, but am really looking
forward to it as it's always so much fun.
Hope that you can make it!
