Raditori (Photoset)

I am finally trying to get back to Tumblr as I'm really fed up with the Instagram tiny format and the rubbish uploads of Facebook and its algorithm. So, for a bit of context, I have left wonderful Georgia to relocate in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, with the family. Loving the energy here so far! The pictures here were taken last night, at the brand new location of Rock Fan Club in Thao Den. This is the band RADITORI, playing here at the DƯỠNG SINH event. You can find them on Youtube and Facebook.

Zhang Youdai (Photoset)

Zhang Youdai is a pioneer radio DJ who was essential in bringing rock music on the air in China, an avid music collector and owner of the club Cloud Nine, where his radio DJ booth overlooks the dancefloor in the coolest possible way. Youdai has so many stories to tell that it was hard to leave him after the photo shoot. His passionate, fun and soft-spoken personality really makes him an unforgettable character. I can't wait to be back in Beijing and meet him again at the club. Outtakes from my feature for German magazine Mint Magazin (in Beijing, China)

Saumin Suresh Patel (Photoset)

Saumin Suresh Patel is an accomplished Mumbai-based artist, specialised in illustration and comics. I met him at the Mumbai Comic Con last december and I was immediately struck by the large prints he had on exhibit. With colourful gods and sensual women, his work was reminiscent of Manara and Klimt, yet also very personal. After a brief chat about the prudish nature of Modern India despite its historical world-famous Kama-Sutra and his deep appreciation for French comic-artist Moebius, I told him I woud be interested in visiting his studio and take his portrait. He kindly invited me to his home on my last day in Mumbai where we got an opportunity to discuss life and art at lengths and here are some of the photographs of that day. If any media outlet has interest in publishing my interview/portrait with the man, please contact me. This artist deserves recognition. His first self-published collection of erotic artworks called ‘Kaamotsav’ is available here right here!
