Jared already told you that I will try to fill in for him while he´s having a good time in Tahiti.
To give you a brief idea about who I am: I´m responsible for Spreadshirt´s social media activities, I´m a lover of all kinds of contemporary electronic club music influenced by “Third World” (I hate that expression) music genres, and I´m running a little T-shirt label called “seen.” through which me and my partners try to spread reggae and dancehall related T-shirts which don´t look like the regular reggae and dancehall related T-shirts (no red, gold and green, no marijuana leaves, no Bob Marley). And ye, I´m blogging about all those things as well and am very happy top host a brilliant weekly “lazer bass” podcast by my man Tim Turbo.
Alright. Enough shameless self-promotion. What will I write about here in the upcoming days? Well, like Jared does, I´ll basically try to show you visually inspiring stuff I´ve been stumbling upon lately. And I´ll kick off with the work of Alain Guerra and Neraldo de la Paz (see picture above). Together, they created Guerra de la Paz.
The creative duo loves to create colorful ‘textile sculptures’ (more here) and playing with textural layering. Their work is based on a combination of traditional disciplines and experimentation with dimension and the use of unconventional materials. Its just sumptuous ! If you are in NY be sure to check their latest exhibition at Daneyal Mahmood Gallery.
Btw: I´m heading off to Berlin now - if anybody of you will be enjoying some Bread and Butter or any other Fashion Week goodness, too, feel free to link me up via Twitter or Facebook.

Hey duvengar: thanks! Glad you like it. @83grafik: good point – as we´re relaunching pretty soon though, I don´t know if there will be an update before.

“Third World (I hate that expression)”
The term used to mean: neither Soviet nor US, during the Cold War. This somehow shifted to cover “developmental status”, whatever that is. Or, as the Onion put it: “6000 year old culture now a developing nation”. How about Poor Nations?
