last tuesday i went out for drinks with mark graham, the creative director of UK-based i love dust, and his creative team after being introduced by my dear friend anya who is an art buyer at the martin agency in richmond virginia. mark and team were in NYC to install a show at the chelsea art museum which happens to be an early and constant supporter of nooka – ah circuitous synergies abound! and over cocktails and beers at temple bar, they offered to do a collab. not next season, or next year, but the next day. and at a speed i've never seen, a few custom painted nookas were displayed next to the customized nikes at the opening invitation only party on friday. jay-z, beyonce, ashanti and their entourages were there, but alas, i was NOT. i was [and still] in tokyo. the nooka studio was there to represent and i have the pleasure of simply blogging about it:)
there was also art by nyc-based vault49 in the dj room [one of which is featured in the foto above]. great stuff jonothan!
we will do more collaborations in the future, until then, enjoy the i love dust website here. i love their work.

Hey Matt,
Congratulations on your work! We saw some of your watches at the Artful Dodger event.
The image in the lower left of your post is actually artwork by Vault49 (www.vault49.com). We're the NYC based design team who occupied the walls of the main DJ room at the Artful Dodger event, and who have been behind the brand since Day 1.
It would be great if you could credit our image - we love your work, let's hook up!
Thanks,
Jonathan
