Cologne / Shop

The best art book store in the world will be a highlight for the soul of every paper lover and a sad moment for your travel budget.

Dublin / Music Venue

This is my favourite venue in Dublin, it is the right size, the sound is great, the atmosphere is genuine and the location is perfect… There are concerts every single night and they always have a good selection of both national and international acts. I have seen unknown bands and some of my very favourite bands on the stage and I take great pleasure from seeing larger acts still playing in small venues like Whelans.

Warner Robins / Market

This place is wonderful. It's like a magic place where you can find ugly sweaters, neat furniture, old cameras, very used records, and more. It is a little intimidating from the outside though.

Milan / Cafe

Loste Café is a Danish bakery opened by Stefano Ferraro and Lorenzo Cioli, two Italians who met at the star restaurant Noma, in Copenhagen. It's a simple (but with a good taste!) coffee shop, with amazing cinnamon rolls - Lorenzo is the former head of pastry in Noma - and a good option for a healthy quick lunch.

New York / Restaurant

Favorite brunch in Greenpoint. Get the caesar salad, the salmon gravlax, tortilla and pancakes. You can do no wrong.

Create / Curate — Visual Poetry for thoughtful & progressive brands

Edinburgh / Visual Artist

Alex is an artist and illustrator based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Alex's practice explores the cultural identity of food through painting and drawing. In particular, his interest lies within culinary practices that have specific social connotations and connections to tradition and identity. He aims to humorously examine the sociopolitical context of consumption and celebrate community-driven values through lo-fi aesthetics. Although primarily a painter and bookmaker, his working outcomes often focus upon participatory, playful, and engaging installations. As well as this Alex also regularly takes part in artist book events throughout Scotland, exhibiting handmade zines, artist books and illustrative artwork, with one publication recently accessioned in the Tate Zine Collection.

Milan / Art Director

In 2017 I created DotPigeon, an artistic project that uses Instagram as a platform. Inspired by pop culture, politics, icons and trends of the moment, the idea behind my artworks remains the same: to twist images in order to create simple and comprehensible messages executed in a clean and visually satisfying way. The account reaches more than 40 thousand people and my works have been published by several online magazines, Instagram pages and newspapers (Forbes, ItsNiceThat, Fubiz, Popmyeyes, UrbanContest, Freeda, Designyoutrust, Designtaxi, Cnn, Darlin Magazine, Collater.al, Il Messaggero, Trendland, Picame Mag and many others).
