If you are pretending to be someone or something you're not, you will attract a tribe who do not have anything in common with who you really are.
I find this is super useful information for the birth & longevity of every healthy relationship, whether it's a friend or a love interest.
It's often the case & fairly well known that the best relationships aren't formed when you go looking for them, but when you work on yourself, date yourself, get to know who you are and indulge in a whole lotta self-love - you will radiate an energy which will attract like-minded people to you.
The higher your vibration, the higher the vibration of the person you'll attract.

Gaetano Donizetti's opera buffa brings themes dear to my heart.
The dearth of modern operatic productions threatens to drown the decent conservative values of the art. It would be so easy to propose a set design of Coney Island with a roller coaster ride and retirement homes as a suitable modem rendition for the opera's setting.
But as i am always concerning myself with the reconciliation of opposing themes, here ones that underlie the opera. I propose a symbolic interconnection of the past with a fantasy laden present; I am doubtful my design could provide any transcendence, but I will let a little obsessive detail play in, paying attention to transitions like an attentive conductor and with a doubtful amount of skill. I let some rustic simple architectural music do the communication across time. I will follow the urging of my heart, and let innovation propelled by desire rather than architectural sense do the singing, perhaps the old bachelor Pasquale would approve. The main structure of the design, a small 11'x22' drinking shack, entreats both the composer and his leading character to relax, drink, eat and take it easy. This is an alternate universe to the Rome of the opera and seeks to release the built up tension of the opera; the original plot does not do this to a satisfactory extent, only perhaps in the sense of the commedia dell' arte. So this does the reconciliatory work which a modern operatic production might botch. The opera's most famous soprano Giulia Grisi tends to the bar and eating establishment.
I have no drawing technique to perfect, nor any fancy equipment. Compositionally I'm kind of a blunderer. My only aesthetic is a very dubitable one, it is the aesthetic of fun, but my eternal hope is that those in history whom I've dedicated my designs to would approve the honors given and enjoy themselves within the imagined architectural settings. Like John Hejduk I don't seek that these designs be built, as they do their intended work in the imagination. As Tadao Ando once conveyed, a design can be completely laid out with just one drawing for any competent builder to construct. Derivated to another level, a single imagined design should do the trick also, with one compressed drawing.
Instead of an operatic set design, this design is for an Asian drinking alley that adjoins the Paris Opera house, Donizetti's personal place for the blossoming of his art. Part of my drawing is adapted from the work of the architect Ludwig Leo Ausschnitt.
A grail-like hot pot, the Japanese nabe, is like a fountain of youth which accompanies a drinking session to a feverish level to revive the bachelor in a healthier way than Pasquale being duped by the harlequin-like Malatesta. After the meal, the amiable group of Pasquale can play a game of cards, a rebuttal of the Faustian game, in which avoiding the harlequin would be the principal goal of the card game. Giulia Grisi uses harlequin's wand as a card-dealing stick and his guitar to serenade the elderly group. The intimate drinking bar is a basic model for all the establishments along the Asian styled alley, linked by a riverside promenade next the opera house. The design of this riverside alley mimics an opera's orchestra pit.
This Design is also dedicated to the conductor Nello Santi.

You can have the nicest house in the world, but for me it's just a roof over your head.. I much prefer to have sweet sheltered hideaways in the garden than a large or luxurious house. I'd trade it all for a beautiful outdoor haven.
Do you have a big or small garden, and what's in it?

So good to finally get to meet very striking international set + costume designer David Zinn @misterdavidzinn for his #whiteoutportrait shoot. It was an afternoon of wonderful, easygoing and thought-provoking conversation.
David’s amazing work currently features in two London transfers from New York - Sondheim’s Here We Are at the National Theatre, and David Adjmi’s Stereophonic at the Duke of Yorks’s Theatre, for which David won a Tony Award.
This was achieved with:
4 medium sized beauty dishes with grids - 1 above camera and 1 oblique each side.
1 positioned behind the sitter to bleach out sections of the backdrop
Wireless trigger on camera.
Testing out some things for a future project... Props, Lasers, Fog Machine, LED Goggles, Lighting by Aputure, Anamorphic Lens by Moment.

“The camp of the settlers, founders of the city of Donogoo, in the steppes of South America.”
“Donogoo” opened in Paris in October of 1930 and was so successful it saved the struggling Théâtre Pigalle from ruin. All but unknown in the English-speaking world until 2011, the play by Jules Romains (1885-1972) traces the unlikely course of a desperate man (Lamendin) from his contemplation of suicide to unwittingly setting in motion a stock market swindle of global proportions. Investors, pioneers and prospectors are driven to seek their fortune in a place that doesn’t exist.
“Along the way, Romains finds time to thoroughly skewer the pretensions of those in the artistic, medical, journalistic, and banking professions, and to offhandedly explore, with a black-comic eye, the peculiarly Western versions of economic, racial, political, and sexual exploitation. . .” – The New Yorker Magazine.

Slightly revamped version of the retro tv. Looks nice against my wall color. (It's sitting on my desk in this shot.) Maybe I need an old console tv... :)
This weekend, we worked on two live streams, broadcasting live fashion for both Coach New York on their website, and J.W. Anderson streaming on the app, Grindr. Both were pretty high profile events, with the likes of Tinie Tempah and Taboo from Black Eyed Peas attending! With a massive team behind it all, it was pretty busy backstage! Much of our set up was done the night before to give us a head start – and with some massive sets being constructed around us – it made it a challenge to say the least! Here’s some before and after photos from the J.W. Anderson stream, which show the scale of the set up! Check out the final results here:
