After some more road, I found this shop selling vintage Vespa. I am not sure everything is from origin but they are superb, and will go so well with the chairs ;)

Some days in Singapore (part 2)

posted in Life & travels  at 10.52 PM from Bali
I am back in Bali and last friday was another great day in Singapore meeting creatives... I want to goback there soon to met even more people, seeing everybody knows everybody and gave me contact for more visits... 

So last friday I met the great team of hjgher, and it was great to share about creativy and their personal projects such as the underscore magazine... It was also nice to met Kiki, their great french buldog ;) 

Later this day I went to visit Felix NG, that you know for his agency work under the name slint with his partner, and for his non commercial projects under the name Anonymous... Again, I will do dedicated articles about all these great moments later... Some instagram images as it seems you love them !

Some days in Singapore (part 1)

posted in Life & travels  at 10.09 PM from Singapore listening Fink new live album
 So, after some days in Singapore, I want to post about it... sadly, I forget my USB cable in Bali, so I can not extract pictures of my camera, but I still can share some instagram pictures... Today, I met Yong, designer behind Somewhere Else, who contacted me after I post about coming here. We first go to visit Michelle & Shian, the nice and passionate girls behind The gentlemen press letterpress and design studio... I will do a full article about them next week, but you can see here some of the nice prints they gave me... We then go to some great places for the designer that I am and I found some nice vintages items and booklets... But will post about this later with more pictures... Just some instagram shots for now...

In Bali on friday, in Singapore on sunday...

posted in Life & travels  at 11.32 PM from Singapore listening Muse . the 2nd Law
I try to not write too much here, always thinking images speak more than words... But tonight, I am in the talking mood... It is is 10h45 for me, I am in an hotel room at the 15th floor of an hotel in Singapore, listening to Muse (Animals is my favorit...) loud in my earphones to not disturb my wife and daughter sleeping behind me... I spend a great day discovering this amazing town, losing myself in Little India, eating very good food with strange texture, and spending sometime in China town...
 
Last year, this was just a thing to do one day... I was not thinking it could happen so fast, just because I decided to make it happen... Just because we said "let's put was we own behind us and let live things now ! "... I just want to share with you how great this is, how many great people I met that have done the same and have even more amazing experiences that we had... Travelling open you mind, open your eyes, and you see everything differently... the world, yourself, others, everything !!!
 

One Day in Seminyak

Last friday, we went to Seminyak, follwoing the great map provided by The Yak magazine... Imagine a great road with a lot of nice bars, restaurants, and shops, but not side walks, well some, but with a lot of motrobikes parked and some big holes... Anyway, we had great time there and see nice things I want to share with these instagram photos...

First images are in the great Anomali coffee, followed by the SKS shop with its selection of design items... and if you are wondering what are the Absolut bottles, I guess they can do an advert called "Absolut gasoline" seeing so much people sell gas in them here...
 

On month in Bali

I get totaly into instagram since I start using it this summer... now, I understand ;) As I try to use my "social tools" differently than just reposting what I put on this blog, I start a "picture of the day" on twitter since I came to Bali in september... After 1 month, these are the 30 shots... you may have seen some of them, but this is really an image of the month that just end... will do it again when I came back after Singapore I guess... But I have shot much more that you can see here.

One week in Singapore

So I will be in Singapore all the week, working on my clients project from unusual places, visiting new places and eating good food ! At the end of the week, I have some meeting with great designers and (letterpress) printers I will be happy to share with you, as usual... and if in the middle of that, I can work on www.mr-cup.com, that would be great !
