I’ve always been massively obsessed by american cars, just because im european i guess….obession started here : with VANISHING POINT movie…one of my classic.

Still in L.A. Met my friends at National Forest (extraordinaire graphic design agency) : Justin Krietemeyer and Steven Harrington.

National Forest office.

Justin, Simon(Sixpack) and Steve…Brainstorming…we have a lot of projects with them comin out this year.

We talked about graphic design…

We met Jamie at Stones-Throw, reppin’ Sixpack with our AW09 catalog in hands. We talked about music industry, Melvin Van Peebles and Quasimoto…it was cool.

Stones-Throw did an interesting collab with a precious coffee company.

Thx for the records man …NOW AGAIN ” Spiritual jazz” compilation sound very cool.

As you should know we are in L.A right now enjoying sunny days etc…i had a look in my images folder and i found this picts took 9 months in the Kanye West L.A studios..he was recording the “Love lockdown” track. Im the guy  with the white tshirt, black guy is my Parisian friend Romuald from the LazyDog…hahahah it was fun and good opportunity to met Kanye during his new album studio sessions. Thx to Bertrand ( So-Me).

Charles De Gaulles airport Paris.

Traditional flight pics…flying over Groenland.

We don’t lie we are in Los.Angeles

We rent a house near Mulholland Drive in Studio City…

Our house…It has been designed by Famous American Architect Rudolf Michael Schindler.

All the furnitures design are awesome, it look like a small 60’s furnitures museum…a lot of original pieces designed by “extraordinaire” designer Eams.

My daughter jetlagged, sleeping under the table, an original Isamu Noguchi low table. Always cool to sleep under this kind of furniture.

Nice canvas…

Same taste in American counter litterature culture…Gonzoooooo!!!

It seem the owner has good and similar taste in graphic design as well… Famous Marion Bataille type book.

Time to wake up, we have a meeting with our friends at National Forest: Justin Krietemeyer and Steven Harrington….

At Sixpack we’ve always been  massive fan of Chris Ware..everybody know he’s one of the best comtemporrary illustrator…should we call him a genius?….Hummmm don’t know, sometimes his stories are to much depressive..especially Jimmy Corrigan…but it’s so good…kind of guilty pleasure…I found this video…Enjoy.

-Sonic Youth new album ” The eternal”-

I recently moved in a new house, before the traditionnal rental truck and things, i’ve been in my roof top, i had a sit and had a look in my old dusty packages. I found some old things i used to collect during my teenage and post ( i mean early 90’s). Im not into collecting things just to collec them and looking them dying without any sense…im not into any kind of melancholic mood as well with eyes focus on things behind, i hate the “it used to be better” , i’d rather say im more focus on present and contemporary things  and next things : fashion, graphic design etc…but it always cool to stay connected to your roots and cultural background…this is what we do at Sixpack mixing : past, present and futur.

I did a very small selection of some items i found in my roof top : bag, zine ,vinyls, original friends drawings, original rave flyers etc…just a fews.
