We’re back with Alex Gibson. Read on to find out what he’s into, and if you’re new here, hit subscribe for secret recommendations every week.
I'm an artist, I live and work in Bushwick Brooklyn.
☞ ‘GLASS CANNON’ AT PUBLIC GALLERY: My new show Glass Cannon opens Wednesday 30/10 at Public Gallery in London, please do come!
☞ RADIO GARDEN: Radio from all corners of the globe. Dr Dick's Sub Shack, out of Bermuda, is particularly good. Lots of great Italo stations (never in Italy).
☞ BUYEE.JP: I love to spend $100 on broken point and shoot cameras and destroyed Louis Vuitton wallets. Watch out for the shipping fee.
☞ NORSE FOUNDRY: Maybe esoteric, my "Aged Mithral" 7 piece full metal dice set is perfect. Right now I play a Kobold Cleric of the Light, Charlie Peppe.
☞ WINONA’S: Winona's is the only good restaurant in New York City.
☞ THE FIRST SEASON OF INITIAL D: The ideal anime. He must learn to spin the car in the turns, so as not to spill the tofu in the backseat as he makes his deliveries... and in doing so, he becomes the greatest drift racer Gunma Prefecture has ever seen.
☞ THE SPECIAL: Outside of NY this is probably called a boilermaker, but that implies you're dropping a shot into a beer. A Special is a can of cheap beer (Narragansett if we're lucky) and a well shot (Old Crow if we're unlucky). You can even make a special at home!
☞ ARTISCREATION.COM AND ARTISTPIGMENTS.ORG: The two best websites for cataloguing colour via the Colour Index. I make all my own pastels from powdered pigments, so careful labeling and coding is big for me. Pic is (some of) my pigment library.
♪ LISTENING TO: Other than Dr Dick's Dub Shack, I'm listening to Sleep it Off by Cristina.
☠ HATES: I hate Reddit.
