So I'm getting acclimated to New York after being in Los Angeles for a while. There are so many subtle differences between the two coasts. One aspect that particularly stands out is the architecture. Seeing the Californication of a New York institution like Supreme was really interesting. I had never made the Fairfax run because I'm usually on such a tight schedule shooting when I'm out there. But with a little bit of downtime West was nice enough to give me the tour.

The beauty and nuance of having a bowl in a retail store is something you can't quite grasp till you actually see it. We have mini ramps in New York but this is something else entirely. On the scorecard that is New York vs. Los Angeles. One for L.A.... These beautiful shots of the Supreme Bowl from a vintage issue of Arkitip don't show it justice. This is something you have to see in person, especially if you're obsessed with retail stores like I am...

Supreme Mural

Last Saturday we shot a time lapse video of the new Supreme mural on Grand & Wooster. A classic area in Soho, which features some favorite landmarks like Lucky Strike and Deitch Gallery. You may remember Banksy's rat previously occupied the spot. We shot for about seven hours and compressed that into thirty seconds. You can watch the result over at the Supreme website. Believe it or not the artist painted by hand. It's a pretty amazing process.

While you're over at the site be sure to check out the Fall preview. The guys did another amazing collection. I had seen bits and pieces but it's always cool to see it all in one place. Some really beautiful coats, shirts, and accessories that will definitely find their way into our wardrobe...

Living Legends

Lou&BobOnTheFloor

“A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.” 
- Bob Dylan

By no means am I an interior designer. But as a film director I know what I like and how to achieve it. I'm really into stacked frames on the floor. There's a laziness effortless cool about it. What I really love more than anything is the juxtaposition of imagery in my living room right now. A modern Lou Reed in color against a nostalgic black & white Bob Dylan. Both icons have their arms crossed and a look on their face that says, "I don't give a fuck." And I think that's what stacked frames on the floor say as well...
