Liverpool / Shop

I love this art shop; they have a very good paper selection and excellent knowledge of what they sell.

Amsterdam / Music Venue

A great music venue with ping-pong tables used to be a squat.

Lancaster / Cafe

Good atmosphere when I feel like reading/sketching in public. A couple of vegetarian options and good coffee.

Ottawa / Restaurant

We have the best Vietnamese cuisine in Canada thanks to an inclusive policy that opened the city up to thousands of post-war Vietnamese refugees in the late 70s. At the zenith of this flavour heap is Huong’s where I can relive a recent trip to vibrant Hanoi. The whole idea of lining up for egg-y brunch is absurd when you can get a spicy saté noodle lashing here and squash that hangover in seconds.

Lausanne / Bar

Favorite place in Lausanne to have a drink with my friends. Perfect for summer evenings.

New York / Attraction

Say Hi to "hip" in Greenpoint?! Yes: That´s the place for (late) summer nights and days: waterfront gastropub featuring American plates & cocktails, plus a patio with skyline views. Weekends are crazy packed (of course).

Cambridge / Museum

Founded in 1936 as a sister institution to New York’s MoMA, the ICA Boston has paved the way for other museums of “contemporary art,” artists’ spaces, and alternative venues. The new waterfront building designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro in 2006.

Aurillac / Museum

The discoveries are often very interesting in this huge ancient stable built in the 19th century and transformed into a place for exhibitions of contemporary art.

Copenhagen / Restaurant

Morgenstedet is vegetarian restaurant located at the free town of Christania, serves the best soups in town and other excellent organic food. Despite it’s name ”the morning place”, it’s also open in the evening.

New York / Park

The best way to enjoy Manhattan is from Brooklyn. Transmitter Park offers views without the crowds, and you can pick up coffee-to-go and treats from nearby Ovenly. The India St/Greenpoint Ferry is a 5 minute walk and will take you all the way to the Rockaways in the Summertime.

New York / Attraction

Within an couple hours' drive of NYC, you can find lots of sleepy seaside towns. Not only can you get your soft ice cream and salt water taffy on, but you can still spot cool, hand-lettered signs and other relics of a past generation's amusements.

London / River

The Thames is not traditionally the prettiest river but it has its moments. Here it is turning pink in a sunset this summer. Its the reason the city is here and I like how in moments of real importance it rises to the occasion. For the golden Jubilee the queen floated down it with hundreds of boats, it was an amazing sight, like vikings setting out for battle. Good river spots - North Bank Savoy Gardens, Royal Festival Hall.

London / Designer

I'm from Cornwall. Anyone who knows me knows that I rant on about Cornwall. The longer I stay away from Cornwall (in London) the more I seem to rant about it. But I still like to go back as often as possible to do crazy stuff like cast metal furniture on the beach or carve chairs out of Cornish granite in the various quarries dotted around the countryside. Otherwise you will find me in my studio in deepest darkest Tottenham whittling a lump of material into a spoon or chair.
