Cascais / Museum

Astounding museum designed by the architect Eduardo Souto de Moura to house some of the works of the artist Paula Rego in the lovely Cascais city.

Melbourne / Area

Gertrude Street is in the inner northern suburb of Fitzroy, Melbourne. In just one strip, you'll find bars, restaurants, galleries, boutiques, vintage wares, costume hire and old-school pubs. It's an inspiring, quiet and interesting experience just out of the city centre. Overall a great place to spend the day.

Tokyo / Park

It’s a really big beautiful botanical park in Tokyo with a nice green house. I went there a few months ago after the big typhoon hit there, many trees were knocked down by the killing wind, even big ones. Recently some newscaster’s body was found there, but hey, it’s still an amazing park.

Tokyo / Attraction

This well in Meiji jingu is called "the power spots" from people recently. It was made by the military commander Kiyomasa Kato. It is not been dry from the Edo Period till today. So it is said that the well has good luck. People set up the photo of the well on their screen saver. Of course also me.

Berlin / Art

The central ‘Mitte’ area of Berlin is packed tight with galleries and museums, which means you can cram a lot into a short amount of time, if that’s what you want. The best of the lot is the Me Collectors Room, which shows off large chunks of the Thomas Olbricht collection alongside other contemporary private artworks. The permanent ‘Wunderkammer’ display offers over 200 pieces from the Renaissance and the Baroque periods, with a solid focus on the strange and macabre. There’s even a Mark Ryden original that fits in nicely.

Melbourne / Restaurant

Serves two of my favourite things in awesome amounts of excess. Platters of fried chicken (the best one is coated in chilli sauce) accompanied with barrels of house beer.

London / Market

There are not many places in London like it. On a Saturday during market hours it heaves with stalls and visitors for a good mile or two. Great place to pick up some bric-a-brac, genuine oddities and a great bite to eat, or just enjoy the hustle and bustle vibe of the place.

Lisbon / Shop

We found this beautiful store by accident while wandering around hilly Lisbon in the sunshine. A beautiful menagerie of vintage finds, curated designers, accessories and trinkets. Housed in a high-ceilinged, big windowed architectural treat. My perfect home (shop wise). I left with a Parisian summer dress in peacock tones, and a big smile. The staff were helpful and lovely, and coincidentally I had something in common with the gorgeous owner. We shared stories of graphic design and Leeds Art College—it really is a small world.

Munich / Area

Gärtnerplatz is s a central square in the Isarvorstadt district. The square has a lovely fountain surrounded by flowers and benches. The square draws a lot of crowd so you may not find a bench to grab, but there are plenty of cafes around for backup.

New York / Park

Designed by Frederick Law Olmstead (of Central Park), Prospect Park is where I go running in better weather and find an endless supply of flotsam and jetsam for casting in projects all year round. Thickets of trees, hidden paths, and rolling hills are an endless source of inspiration.

Washington / Art Director

I wear many hats – most of which can't be showcased on one platform! I do the most all the time and challenge humans to do better and be better. I believe art heals, listening is important, traveling is essential and one shouldn't be judged for their love of adult onesies. Just sayin. ;)
