Sir Jack in his Element We love us some fresh Robbo.

We love us some fresh Robbo. Especially in and around his home environs. Our opinion, this is what a clip should be: Nice length, sparingly used slo-mo, excellent variety and not a throw-away in the bunch. Oh, and the nod to 80’s rocker George Thorogood, was also a clever touch. Well done Jack and company. As far as…

What’s in William Strobeck’s Coffee? A Parisian Excursion

Entrenched into the surroundings of his reality.  Enriched with the raw. William Strobeck’s most recent work, Supreme’s “BLESSED”, is a true guerilla playground. He documents; our eyes feast.
