Paris / Place

A grubby, ugly and grey crossroads, yet strangely beautiful by the evening sun. It always makes me happy when I pass through because ten minutes walk in any direction leads to some of my favourite places: the best fromager, thrift stores, the best boulangerie for tartes, the canal, bars, my apartment, B.D. (comix) shops, the best butcher, the huge deco Rex cinema, the best veg markets, my band's underground rehearsal room, my part time job, art galleries, etc etc!

Albany / Bar

Great local distillery, bar and bottle shop. Good cocktails served in a renovated historic building with an industrial/modern vibe. Hang out on the outdoor patio space at the edge of the warehouse district.

Sydney / Sanctuary

This beautiful studio sets the tone for a deep, cleansing and calming yoga practice

Barcelona / Park

The best place to spend hours skating..

Prague / Art

We would love to invite you to our showroom and studio.

Vienna / Academy

Tenderly covered in snow is oskar kokoschka, the artist that gives name to the square from which you enter the university, it is not out of patriotisme or for promotion that I list this institution here, but for viennas art and creative scene this is a center in its own rights. You can come and visit one of the many different applied art classes, with a little self esteem use most of the facilities, drink a coffe that is cheap and surprisingly good in the mensa or get yourself the cheapest automat-can beer for 90 cents. There are various talks in english if you look for them and in summer there is a good chance you will find a barbecue party in the garden or a film screening. If none of this is the case, there is always a chance to meet people, find a gallery to go to at night, or a room to rent. the library and the magazine reading room are free and well equipped with a great selection of avantgarde cinema, that can be watched on computers.

Tokyo / Place

I have a picnic with friends at every early summer. Our university has a good garden. There is a good spot for picnic. The class of my university start at night. We eat, drink, sing, dance, and finally go for a class.

Springfield / Shop

Springfield is a good place to find junk, and the STD Central is a fun place to start. Visitors from out of town will be sure to find all sorts of Missouri ephemera and other goodies.

London / Art

I love the architecture of the Barbican - it is so important to its historical context, at a time when London was being shaped for modernity after the war - they also aspired to make it a bold art centre. We need bold, always.

Stockholm / Museum

A safe bet for some cultural stimulation on the island Skeppsholmen in the centre of Stockholm, great location with a nice book/design shop.

Paris / Bookstore

So much inspirations in this beautiful bookstore at Palais de Tokyo museum. Hours and hours to spend there before or after a visit at the exhibitions.

São Paulo / Artist

Camila Pinheiro is a brazilian artist based in São Paulo. "The appealing use of clean lines, negative space and tropical colours in Camila Pinheiro's distinctive illustrations hint at the Brazilian artist's South American roots and high fashion background. She began her career studying fashion in São Paulo, before landing a job with Dior and then as a "cool hunter" for a range of brands. It was during that stint that she realised she wanted to know more about the branding behind the luxury labels, and that's when she decided to become a designer and illustrator. After a little more studying under her belt, she worked for various branding agencies for six years and then decided to launch her own studio. Everything she produces has to have a narrative, a habit she developed in the marketing industry. Her influences range from Magritte, Matisse and Mondrian to Alexander Girard and Michael Roberts." Katy Cowan - Founding Editor of Creative Boom
