The cover to the first SB book.
In collaboration with the Pavillion/Palais de Tokyo, Paris and swiss artist Emmanuelle Antille.
Out on the 26th of June! More about it in the “coming next” section.

As I was about to try and blag my way inside Art Unlimited in Basel, Switzerland, from afar, I saw a geezer who looked familiar. Cryptic handmade tattoos, long hair, svelte silhouette. As I took a few steps towards him I realized this probably was Fergus, this mysterious guy I had received a couple of pictures of in for SBII. I had to figure this out. With the nicest smile Fergus confirmed he indeed was… Fergus.
What an amazing and pleasant surprise. Not only does he have one of the most interesting tattoo collection I’ve had the pleasure to see, but he’s the nicest person ever.

Tomorrow, we will meet at the Patty Smith signing then have a little interview for SB III. Clare Hilland will take some portraits of him to go with it. Today was a good day.

When make up is applied flawlessly it is easy to overlook the expertise involved.

An acute understanding of the surface, instruments and materials, gradations of shade, unclouded lines and subtle suggestion combine to modify contour, poise and countenance while questioning the infinite variants by which we perceive beauty.

It is a temporary tattoo and once removed the evidence of its existence becomes an object of beauty in itself.

Hehe
