all hail bernard villemot...

settling into a new apartment comes with the all-important task of organizing the right artwork on the walls - without that, in all honesty, you may as well be living with bad feng-shui. as part of my quest to grant new life into my aussie HQ i've been on the hunt for some snazzy artwork, and although i've found a few great pieces unfortunately some of the gallerist's down under and their approach to making a sale have been molto lamo, let's say. buying art is not for sissies! alas, yesterday i discovered this great french artist named bertrand villemot at a vintage poster store. he handled advertising imagery for everyone from bally and orangina to perrier and cinzano in his hey day. did i purchase a piece? well, let's just say i'm thinking about it, but it makes me happy to share villemot's work with you anyway...

epatant...

dennis paphitis from aesop has just opened this great men's store in melbourne named epatant. he describes it as "barneys meets bunnings" (bunnings is an aussie hardware store for anyone confused at this point). my favorite product up for grabs? the criterion collection european cinema dvd's, naturally.
