Landon In Studio

I love these photos our friend Clement shot of Landon working in his studio last summer. It's neat to see how Landon's work has changed in the last twelve months (the first photo is more recent in which you can see how his compositions have evolved) . Clement's photography is so creamy and soft, a perfect pairing with Landon's swirling dyes.

Studio Visit II

A couple Sunday afternoons ago Landon was hammering away in the studio and wanted his guests to stay entertained so he suggested that we (Emma, Siri and I) mix some colours for fun. Well, let me tell you, this operation opened the floodgates! Those of you who have been friends for awhile now know that I've long struggled with a creative block that has left my pens and paints neglected. Lofty goals of "painting like the masters" combined with a discouraging lack of self discipline left me dejected and disinterested in further pursuing my painterly side. So I was especially shocked to find that I really, truly, thoroughly enjoyed painting (who knew it could be a pleasurable activity and not one where you felt worse at the end of it all). Abstract painting is really fun! Approaching my "art" (feel very presumptuous saying that, apologies) without expectation or judgement is a most incredible and freeing experience. One day I'll try again at the other stuff but for now this feels too good to stop.

The other day I took a small stash of shop goods over to Landon's studio to photograph them with his current projects. You can find all of these items (and sadly only a handful more) in the shop. I'm afraid I've been terribly neglectful of etsy as once again we have all of our collection spoken for as our next pop-up draws near. I'm very pleased to announce that we're having a second pop-up shop, this time in New York! It's a one night only affair hosted by the lovely folks at Seychelles. You're welcome to RSVP here for a night of cocktails, shoes, lingerie and vintage clothing galore (please don't be shy about introducing yourselves should you come, I very much enjoy meeting folks that read this blog)!

Patti Smith Supermoon

Some very warm and sunny photos from the studio! These were taken after I fell on the street and scraped my knee like a five year old and before I shook hands with a (my) most beloved Patti Smith. Yes, friends, I shook the hand of the magnificent Patti Smith and not only that but she said my name. This weekend we went to a beautiful photo exhibition of Judy Linn's portraits of Patti Smith and there she was! There is not one celebrity who I can think of that would make me feel the way I felt when I saw her (OK maybe not so, Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet and Cate Blanchett I think would have me feeling pretty gnarly), it was like somebody punched me in the stomach! When my girlfriend suggested that I introduce myself (as most of our party had already done) I teared up and put my head down because I, well, I don't know why but the thought overwhelmed me (I'm not a teary person really, I can't remember the last time I shed a proper tear so this was especially confusing to me). As the night drew to an end my friend approached her and before I knew it she was coming my way and saying "Hi Hannah" with a hand extended! I said hi with eyes like this O_O and then mumbled "I love you" and then it was over.

I was planning a little shop update at last with the clothing pictured above, only I stained and ripped the pink dress and the pants while bopping around the studio, rwhoops. I will be updating the shop on Tuesday, however, with other less destroyed apparel!

Hope you all had an opportunity to take a gander at the supermoon this weekend!
