Albert Reyes came over to pick up some magazines, but now that I started this sketchbook with the Jarvis drawings, I had Albert add his 2 cents. I noticed he was turning the pages of the magazine while he was drawing. Does anything look familiar from issue 52? The funniest thing is he's most comfortable drawing while lying on the ground. So even though he sat in a chair in the photo below, he then...

Albert Reyes came over to pick up some magazines, but now that I started this sketchbook with the Jarvis drawings, I had Albert add his 2 cents. I noticed he was turning the pages of the magazine while he was drawing. Does anything look familiar from issue 52? The funniest thing is he’s most comfortable drawing while lying on the ground. So even though he sat in a chair in the photo below, he then moved to the ground where he felt best. I told him, that if he does a signing, he should do it on the ground. Issue 52 also has a great article on Shave Ice. I had some today at Shaka’s. I really don’t know where else to get good stuff like this. I swear, this is near par with what’s in Hawaii. Big size, and happiness all around. The Shave Ice is probably about the same temperature as the snow in the photo, this is from the plane window on the way back from London. I’m guessing it’s the Rockies or maybe it’s Grand Canyon area (does it snow there?). I can’t be sure.

I met Mr James Jarvis recently. He’s sort of a personal hero to me. When I think about why, I’m not quite sure. Is it because of the $60-$70 Silas shirts I used to admire? The Daikanyama Silas shop that was too cool? When I thought about Silas, the brand, James Jarvis always came to mind, and it’s great hear the back story, and the current story about what he’s done, where’s he’s been, today, and looking forward. Silas is no longer what it once was all about, but Amos Toys is still a great thing that echoes a lot of ideals and such of Silas. A quick sketch with the character having the “egg” head, although it’s more pear shaped. Beaks are in these days.

A nice cut, and his locks of power are gone. But he doesn't need em. French is a busy dude and he lives in Croyden where Kate Moss is from. I got to visit French today at his flat, and interviewed him on camera for a slightly bigger entity. Although he's into the darkest types of metal, his place is a shared with his lady. It reeks of mutual niceness.

The trucker hat tree. There's plenty for every...
