My Dog
My dog Jack is my #1 daily essential. I work out of my home and I’m at my desk for most hours of the day. He keeps me company and gets me up out of my chair and outside even on the rainiest of Vancouver days. This man’s best friend, Jack.
Stationary Items
For my work i jot down ideas, take notes, set schedules, sketch & doodle a fair bit. Therefore I’m very selective with my stationary that i use. I use my Mont Blanc ball point that my girl gave me or my Rotring mechanical pencil to write & sketch. I’ve been using these colored sketch books from a shop called Spiral Cafe in Tokyo for some time now, they come in the perfect size and I use a different color book for different projects.
Camera
I try not to leave the house without a camera. Out of my quiver of cameras i have to pick my Contax T3, when I can only take just one: film, compact and mad sharp Zeiss lens. This camera has come with me on just about every trip I’ve ever taken.
Outerwear
This time of year in Vancouver, it can get a bit chilly and so a good zip hood is an essential. This season I was able to produce a really (really) small run of these Reigning Champ x Brknhome hoodies. What can i say, Reigning Champ makes the best sweatshirts. Good heavy weight, top quality, perfect fit, fabric no one else can touch, and a little graphic on the chest & back from yours truly. Nothing beats the feeling of sliding your arms into some RC Canadian fleece.
Jielde Desk Lamp
I find myself working long hours into the night. It must be the combination of the quietness (no phone calls and let emails) and that i feel more creative at night, so a good task lamp is important for me. After some time spent on research and hunting, I have finally found my ideal task lamp. I actually found, purchased and lugged this Jielde Desk Lamp back from Japan. Jielde lamps are made in France since the 1950′s and to me they are the most beautiful lamps. They complete my work atmosphere.
