Photographer Ivan Jones dropped by this week to take my portrait for a forthcoming book about the design business Burro. Contributors have been asked to wear garments they bought from the company for Ivan’s portraits.
I was a regular customer of the Burro outlet in Covent Garden’s Floral Street (and wrote about the label here).
Pippa Brooks has captured a section of Kate Moross’s video installation at the current Mindful Of Art exhibition.
I commissioned Kate to come up with a visual accompaniment to my DJ set at Glastonbury this summer, and am blown away by her achievement in manipulating and activating artwork by Barney Bubbles.
Read Pippa’s report from the show here.
Mindful Of Art is at the Old Vic Tunnels until Tuesday (September 27). Details here. Catch it if you can

Probably the best recent band I’ve discovered lately, even though they’ve been around a decade or more.
My engagement with the spectacle of the Royal Wedding is taking the form of protesting at Lambeth Council’s leasing of Clapham Common to Camp Royale.
British Remains, meanwhile, is publishing a design which offers a choice of expression.
