Last thursday was the launch party of the first special edition of Sang Bleu. Publioshed in collaboration with the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. The book launch was a nice succès. Everyone seemed to like the result (so do I!).

The rest of the week was dedicated to the planning of SB which is going to be pretty amazing, I think, and enjoying fashion week with Lotta Volkova aka Lotta Skeletrix and Alban Adam, guest editors of SBIII. Fashion week was pretty fun although a bit disappointing fashion-wise. I had the pleasure to (finally) meet lots of very interesting people such as Diane Pernet from A Shaded View On Fashion, Jason Farrer, Marcelo Burlon from Rodeo Magazine and his lovely friend Marchi Marchell, Samuel from Encens Magazine, the editors of Dong Magazine, SOLO from the oldschool french hardcore rap group ASSASSIN, the djs of Dirty Laurent Fétis the famous french graphic designer, even bumped into Pharell WIlliams and Kanye West at the Vuitton show and so on and so on… Images to come later this week as I sort my digitaly pix and process the rolls…

Here are a few images of tattooed people I met on this occasion. (Tattoos by Tribal Act, Boucherie Moderne, home-made, etc.)

Recently someone told me they thought everyone on this blog looked pretty miserable. I’m hoping this will make up for it. Top is Natalia. Below they remained anonymous. I think he’s only smiling because I agreed to buy him a beer in exchange for his photograph.

Cailin Hill (Premier London)

Everybody needs a muse or two.

I’m going to make sure that Cailin’s first and second tattoos make it to the pages of Sang Bleu III.

José at Cerveceria Casco Viejo and his 36 year old Supertramp Indelibly Stamped inspired artwork.

Those eyes don’t lie, José’s the Man.

another beautiful collection
especially the unusual engraving-inspired pieces by Wido de Marval
(especially—sorry for the redundancy—the amazing God-chestpiece!)

Simon will be here (and more of Heidi) once the film is processed.

Two of the (many) photos I made…
I am so fan, I wanna don’t disclose them all at once, but keep posting in the next weeks!
There will also be an extensive feature on F in SBIII…

The man himself

A Vivienne Westwood ring. Everything is said.

A couple of weeks ago I met Chez on a 55 bus.
