Another scar that will never heal

Wednesday, January 18, 2012

My good friend Ondra called me couple of months ago to inform me that he has perfect design he wants to tattoo me when we meet next time. Of course I agreed, but when he later showed it to me I had to say no. I just didnt want to have it in my skin. What he showed me was: drawing of a gravestone with "end" carved in it. Well my last tattoo says: NO and I think I wanna continue in more possitive way.
Than we chose Bulb - to show my surprise when he showed me the design + to say that from now on we kinda know what we want.....which is not true, coz I still dont know (and i dont think he knows either)
.

Ondras wife Jana drawing the Bulb on my leg.

I think it was first tattoo Ondra did to anyone. I have done it couple of times before but his hand was more steady than mine.

Friends with Bulb forever

Took this picture for my friend Tomas who always says "everything is wrong". Or says that its too late to make things better, to live better life.....When he calls me this picture occures on my cellphone display.When i told him he wasnt so happy but well he got what he asked for :-)

Notebooks ready for: Brooklyn, Manhattan, Vienna, Istanbul and Rouen

Novoroční výlet na horu Říp s kamarádkou Bet a jejím Šklebákem Vincentem.

She said it looks like U.F.O. Well I havent seen U.F.O. so far...so maybe it really was U.F.O.

This picture-this place is just nostalgic to me

Picture I took for my ex. She liked to take pics of strangers asses.

My favorite ladies from my favorite Restaurant. I love what Mancho has printed on her Apron - "SAVE PLANET EAT PEOPLE" :-D

Jesus on my wall with the street bible underneath

I heard this joke recently: How to recognize person who has Apple? He tells you that!

Sakra ted přemýšlím nad tím, co jsem kdy komu řekl a v jakém úmyslu....

Our workshop getting more and more messy

This happened to me after visiting my parents. No they didnt punch me in the face for not being here for so long. It was a dentist - surgeon who put implant in my mouth. Everytime I look in the mirror I see Platypus :-)

Trip to Berlin

Saturday, January 07, 2012

V úterý jsem si přivstal, abych se pustil do práce na třech zásilkám, které máme, co nejdříve vyexpedovat. Ani jsem si nestihl uvařit kávu a mám na uchu Marfyho, který mě láká na výlet do Berlína. Odjezd !OKAMŽiTÉ! Nejdřív říkám NE a pak, že jo a že teda jedu a jsem tak strašně rád, že jsem opravdu jel. Tohle byl výlet roku. Minimálně tohohle mladého. Bránice mě bolí ještě dodnes. Chtěl jsem si číst klnížku, ale nedalo se soustředit, protože dodávka byla přeplněna vtipy a příhodami, které prostě nešlo ignorovat. S touhle partou chci vyrazit na výlet, co nejdřív. Třeba teď a to je jedna ráno. V Berlíně jsme jedli fallafely, veganské "kapkejky" a pili výbornou kávu v kavárně, kde se necejtíte jako blbec, že do ní chcete Soyové mléko. V Kreuzbergu a Freidrichshainu jsem navštívil dva obchody, které prodávají naše vecy - Modern Graphics a Big Brobot. Bylo hezké pozdravit se s lidmi, se kterými už léta spolupracuji a jejichž krámů si navíc hodně vážím. Tak jo chci další výlet a chci ho hned.

On Tuesday I woke up quite early to work on 3 parcels we are supposed to ship away. Before i made my coffee my phone started to ring and there is my friend Marfy asking me if I wanna go with him and 7 other people to Berlin to get a good cupcake, fallafel...and some other good food that city offer. + there was a promise of a guestlist for a hardcore show that was happening there that night. Fist I told him I cant go having way too many things to work on, but than I just changed mind thinking I havent been in Berlin for almost a year and went with them. The trip was awesome. One of the funniest thing I went through in a long time. I couldnt stop laughing coz there were 8 people telling jokes and doing stuff that just cant leave you sitting calmly in the seat reading your book. Thanks guys for taking me with you - I hope the next time is happening soon.

I also passed by in two shops that sell our products - Big Brobot in Freidrichshain and Modern Graphics in Kreuzberg. Was nice to see people that support our work for many years and run two shops I respect so much.

Mikita and Ondra in Ohlàlà Tartes-shop

Clarissa runs vegan restaurant Ohlàlà Tartes-shop in Freidrichshain and she makes great cupcakes

On the way to Kreuzberg


I think these are the two main factors of the ache of my facial muscles. These guys just make you laugh!

RAGWEAR, ragwear, rAgWeAr

Saturday, January 07, 2012

Its been my 4th year of modeling for streewear company Ragwear. Its weird but I always look forward to it. Its not the modeling that I like (coz I really dont like it). Its the change of my working routine with this 3 days routine that I become part of twice a year. Last shooting I did was right after my trip to Paris. Landed in Prague 7 A.M. and put the first piece of clothes on me at 8. This time it was right after coming back from Berlin. Getting back home at 4 a.m. starting at 10. To make these 3 days bearable and funny you have to go crazy and its easy having enough crazy people around you. One would be enough but believe me there were more. Now its over. I hope the photographer and the company is happy with the work done as Im happy its over for another 6 months. Its nice to work with these people there. Knowing some of them for all these years its always a pleasure to see them and well work with them. Here are some pictures.

 

Sitting in the Press Room of David LaChapelle that was just next door from our studio

Picture for my Mom - lyrics by the Gossip

It’s a cruel cruel world, to face on your own,
A HEAVY CROSS, to carry along,
The lights are on, but everyone’s gone,
And it’s cruel

It’s a funny way, to make ends meet,
when the lights are out on every street,
It feels alright, but never complete,
without joy,

I checked you, if it’s already been done, undo it,
It takes two, it’s up to me and you, to prove it,
On the rainy nights, even the coldest days,
you’re moments ago, but seconds away,
The principal of nature, it’s true but, it’s a cruel world,

We can play it safe, or play it cool,
follow the leader, or make up all the rules,
whatever you want, the choice is yours,
So choose,

I checked you, if it’s already been done, undo it,
It takes two, it’s up to me and you, to prove it,

I just knew, it’s already been done, undo it,
It takes two, it’s up to me and you, to prove it,

I checked you, if it’s already been done, undo it,
It takes two, it’s up to me and you, to prove it,


I just knew

On the way from studio I found this stencil. Smart line...hard to follow though
