The First Coffeeshop

While in Amsterdam, I came across the first ever coffeeshop in the city, and some really great signage. It reminded me a lot of the signage in Dalston, with the use of neon lighting to create the font.  The font is all capitals, which works with the short words and grabbing your attention....

The Skinny Bridge

Last weekend when I got the pleasure of exploring the beautiful Amsterdam, I came across the gorgeous Magere Brug bridge, otherwise known as the "Skinny Bridge." This bridge opens and closes over the famous Amstel River in Amsterdam. On the bridge I found lovely decorative font of the...

Dutch Graffiti

Walking through the streets of Amsterdam was a wonderful time. We got to see all the different street art and signage, and it was all so different than America or London. Here is an example of graffiti done in decorative fonts. It is very different than the street art I chose for one of my previous...

Wayfinding

This sign is a demonstration of wayfinding. This past weekend I went to a music festival called BuitenWesten in Amsterdam, Netherlands and these were signs that helped all the festival goers find their way around. It had arrows directing to all the different stages, toilets and food joints. Everything...

Tennis on a Terrace

This past Sunday I got to join in on an awesome event at Oval Space London. The lovely DJ Tennis took the decks and threw down an awesome day-time party. The location was so rad. It was located in an industrial area, with loads of street art, and located on a gorgeous terrace overlooking a really...

Brighton

I had zero expectations before I left for Brighton, which I think is what made it so incredible. Perhaps I lack knowledge in geography, but I didn't even know it was on the coast of England (lol). A few people from my group and I spent two days and one night in this beautiful, coastal city,...

Signage

One of the most amazing restaurants in all of London is hidden on a tiny side street off of New Bond Street. The whole restaurant was built as individual art installations in each room. The rooms are absolutley fascinating between the all pink old-fashioned tea room to the egg shaped bathrooms. Not...

It Blew Me Away

Today I traveled across the Tower Bridge, and let me tell you...it was windy. ^ But beautiful. It was an absolutely perfect day to see the bridge and the skyline of London reflecting in the waters. I got the pleasure of seeing it during the sunny day and the beautiful reflection on the water...

fabric, London

fabric, London. Only the most legendary house and techno club in London; a club I never thought I would ever be able to go to. I am a huge fan of the monthly compilations released by fabric, collecting all the fabric and FABRICLIVE mixes from one to 82. fabric is not only a club, but a record...

The NEST

The night of July 3, 2015 was one heck of a night. It all began with a bottle of Prosecco... Last night was the night I had been waiting for for a hot minute. It was the Justin Martin and Kill Frenzy show located at the Nest in Dalston, London. I purchased my tickets for this show about three weeks...
