after a bit of a hiatus I'm back >>>

Been busy up until now, so apologies. I've recently changed jobs, which means more time to catch up on reading and updating myself on what is going on in the world. A kind of self re-education. Books that I've been reading goes along the lines of - art theories, Thai tattoos, The Yakuza, design books, and various English literature. It's been refreshing to stimulate my brain matter again.
This week I watched this video on Italian Bicycle Frame Builder Giovanni Pelizzol. The short film, called Anima D'Acciaio (Soul of Steel), documents Ciocc's expertise as he makes a new fixed gear frame by hand, sharing his insights into the craft and his life along the way. This was shown as part of the Bicycle Film Festival last year. It's beautifully shot and narrated.
