Who the fuck does she think she is? Strutting down some red carpet to another vacuous society bullshit back-patting event, this woman made it clear that she believes that the earthquake in Sichuan is some kind of karmic retribition, it was deserved, serves them right, it's all their own fault... Apparently tens of thousands of people died horrifically and millions have been devastated because the Chinese government "aren't very nice" to her "good friend" the Dalai Lama...
This thing has fuck all to do with po...Read more
In preparation for our SKIN:INKS Tattoo Art Exhibition opening in a couple of weeks, last night we started our cheeky little "Show Us Your Tatts" promo thanks to Min and the team at Racks... Just get your tatts out for the camera and you get a free shot of something tasty and your pic on the Great Wall of Ink... The exhibition runs June 13 to July 9 and the promo runs from now until the end of the exhibition.
So get over to Racks and get 'em out.. The boys are waiting...

A few snaps from a cheeky mid-week session with me, Mrs FC and Eddie Dor Yuk... It was Mrs FC's first ride since our boy was born, and Eddie's first ride for quite a while too... But as these snaps show, neither of them have lost their stylin' skills...
I came across this recently, and although I don't agree with everything he says, I thought it was interesting and certainly thought provoking. So in the spirit of the article, I am reproducing the entire piece right here without permission - but with credit where it's due to the author Matt Mason, and the publisher of the article, The Guardian.

We're told pirates are "killing" the entertainment biz. But without them we'd have no pop radio, no Hollywood and rubbish trainers...Read more
I've been dusting down my records and polishing up my headphones today, since I'm coming out of retirement (again) to do lend a hand at the AND Anniversary bash tomorrow night. Its been a few months since I played out, and a very long time since I had a regular gig, but I've been messing about in the studio today, downloading some new tracks and re-acquainting myself with some old faves... So, with a bit of luck, I might just about be able to cross the old dog / new tricks interface.
Expect it big and chunky, breaky and...Read more
You'll be hearing a lot about this in the coming weeks, as the ChinaStylus / Red Dog Tattoo Art Exhibition SKIN:INKSfinally kicks off after a year or more in the planning.
We've shot life-size, semi-nude portraits of around 28 different Hong Kong people ranging from chefs to mechanics to models, and these have been printed out onto canvas and given to HKs finest tattoo artists. The artists then use ...Read more
... and the water is getting warmer. This weekend it was a refreshing 23 degrees, so we made the most of it. And despite the storms of recent weeks, we managed to find a really nice flat stretch of water on the south side of Lamma. Anyways - a couple of snaps...
Al getting some off the double up.
Here's a feature that I designed for New York based stencil magazine Overspray featuring the one and only Swoon (as mentioned earlier by Pauline C). Swoon is a truly original talent and from the article you can see that she's also a modest and intelligent individual with integrity - a rare combination in this scene. I was lucky enough to see one of her enormous pieces at an exhibition in Tokyo recently and it really does show that there is soooo very much more to the scene than every...Read more
I've been creating artwork and IDs and stuff for my good friend DJ/Producer Elite Force pretty much since the start of his career (all the way back to our college days when he was in a band with our housemate Thom Yorke from Radiohead).
Anyways - he's got a cool new project out now called RE:VISION - basically a shake-up of his entire back catalogue, remixed, revisited and revised by just about everyone who's anyone in the dance music business - including HKs very own musical giant, Dan F.
Check out some of th...Read more
