I´d like to big up the whole Big Up crew for dropping the fifth issue of their magazine these days – keep on dreaming BIG and going UP! Danny, please make sure to grab some exemplaries when touring the States in the upcoming days! Especially, as the cover artwork for this issue was done by Jared Nickerson aka J3Concepts.
Jared´s a great vector designer I´m happy to have met during my time at Spreadshirt/laFraise. Everybody make sure to check out his work in his portfolio and to have a look at BloodSweatVector – a platform and artist collective Jared co-founded back in 2008.
P.S. Of course, you don´t have to rely on friends visiting the US when you´re from Europe, Asia or another part of the world which might not have too many stores carrying Big Up: international readers, too, can subscribe to the mag via Big Up´s online store.
P.P.S. All my Berlin people can link up with Jared on the opening night of the Blood Sweat Vector exhibition (November 12th – December 12th) at West Berlin Gallery. Take the chance if you can.

Lean back, watch those videos and watch out for tomorrow´s wicked “Veesn” special. Yes, it´s that time of the year again: Oktoberfest. And we´ll use the kick-off day of the beer-soaked madness as an opportunity to introduce you to a major mug-full of “New Munich” aka “Nu Minga” hypeness.
It was back in summer 2006 when Gabe and me first met with Peter Dean Rickards in Kingston, Jamaica. We sat down at the students´ union on Mona campus and when Peter left, I honestly couldn´t tell if he´s the madman some people think he is when reading his sometimes quite strange online output on the various Afflicted Yard online outlets or if he´s the mastermind you could think he is when looking at his actual work. Just to remind you: Peter was the first to stream music live from Jamaica (“Kingston Signals“, anybody?), he was the first to convincingly capture contemporary Jamaican popular culture with a digital camera (the cover of Sizzla´s “Life” album, anybody?), and he was the first to publish a Jamaican magazine that met international standards – visually and content-wise.
What I definitely knew though was that we would have to work together. I ended up spending every single evening of my semester at Peter´s place in Barbican having beer and screening the photographs he had been taking from 2002 on. Our goal was to compile the most outstanding images and layout them in a way that would convince international publishers to put out a book – “The Afflicted Yard – Kingston 2002-2006″. Which we did.
However, it hasn´t been published until today.
In the meantime, Peter has moved on from photography to videography – doing globally acclaimed productions for e.g. Terry Lynn and preparing the release of “The Last Don” – an incredibly entertaining documentary on the status quo of the Jamaican dancehall business. And while he keeps pushing things forward, he decided to release a PDF version of “The Afflicted Yard – Kingston 2002-2006″. For free.
