Big Sur

We took a road trip from LA up to San Francisco, through Big Sur. It was incredible. Here is proof.

Roquebrune Views

Oh yeah, there's more. Way more. Here's some of the mind blowing views we were pouring our eyes on from way up in the cliffside village*. And just some of the greenery. God, the greenery. Screw you, England! Time to step up if you wanna stay in the game.

*in the distance of the first shot, you'll see the bay and skyscrapers of Monte Carlo, the crotch of Europe. We got the wrong bus one day and ended up there. In the name of all that is tasteful and holy, never go there.

Maize maze

Since Spring is nearly here, it's time for a post about Autumn. Back in October, I was in NYC, and some friends and I drove upstate to a farm for FALL MADNESS. It was as it promised: mad. I fired a corn cannon, a pumpkin slingshot, watched a pig race, and saw kids playing in a giant shed filled with 3 feet of dried corn kernels. Apple cider and ornamental gourds were also involved. It was all deeply American (except for the pig race, which I've seen in the UK too), not least the landscape. Look at this place. These are photos from the Maize Maze and the Pumpkin Patch. Alliteration is a big deal in fall.

Strange seeing these after 5 months of grim, grey UK days. I can't believe I've ever seen skies this blue.

I thought I might've just posted the arty shots above but no, fuck it, if you're anything like me you also wanna see the pig race and the bizarre gourd pile and the angel deer straight from a heaven whose nose I touched and it was soft. See below.

Easter

Got some photographs back from the egg hunt we had in Fort Greene Park. Happy times with good spring weather. Sometimes New York is very fine.

Falmouth beach

When I was in England recently, I visited Falmouth for a couple of days. My dad was talking to the illustration course at Falmouth University and my whole family took the excuse to head to Cornwall. I love the beaches there. Such good textures. That weird green slimy seaweed! The grey ocean! The rockpools! The stones! I spent a good part of my childhood summers in Cornwall staring at it all. This was a nice reminder.
