For a reason I ignore, this is the 3rd time I’m doing an artwork that involves Travis Barker.
1st time was featuring him in Kid Cudi’s “Day ‘N’ Nite” video.
Being friends with Cudi, he dropped by the shoot.

2nd time was when Dj AM (miss you) decided to release
the recording of their Coachella 2009 live set as a mixtape,
and asked me to design the cover for it.

The 3rd time takes shape as a cover for STATUS magazine
which was released last monday.
It features an article on Travis,
but also on a man that not only I respect as a designer,
but also as a human being,
that you should urgently check out,
and who goes by the infamous name of So Me.

On holidays, you often have a song that will forever remain the soundtrack of that very year.
It will always work as madeleine de Proust.
Last year, during our Coachella breakaway, the crew’s darling was “High Together” by Siriusmo.
2008 was Puzique “Don’t Go” (to Alex Boysnoize great embarrassement).
This year in Pedro’s cadillac, the track that fitted most the Indio’s desert was Liars’ “Scissors”.
Here’s the video I mentioned, P :

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, some where hysterically singing along
to François de Roubaix’s “Pépin la Bulle” :

In Amandine’s car, Stuck for 5 hours on the road,
only 2 blocks away from the parking lot of the festival,
missing half of LCD,
we (almost) managed to keep our cool
because breakbot was constantly playing this track :
