I think it was in 2013, when I was living in Prague.
I was invited to the exhibition Fireflies in the dark, drawings of Jewish children from the concentration camp in Theresienstadt. Often next to the drawing you could see a picture of the young artist. GERTRUDA EISINGER was very beautiful.
Olympic games are not always a festival of happiness and sport.
In 1972 during the Olympische Sommerspiele in Munich, eight arabs criminals, members of the palestinian terrorist group Black September took eleven hostages, all members of the Israeli Olympic Team and killed them. One hostage was castrated and abused after he was shot!
This is islam, these are arabs!
In all these years and thanks to the Operation Wrath of God, the Mossad, the national intelligence agency of the State of Israel killed more then 200 palestinian terrorists members of the palestinian armed militant group Black September and operatives of the Palestine Liberation Organisation. Of the eight arab criminals involved in the Munich massacre, only one is still escaping. For how long?
Happy me!
Last week I found a trunk full of LETRASET EUROSTILE BOLD EXTENDED and MEDIUM EXTENDED. This clean and futuristic typeface was designed by ALDO NOVARESE in 1962 and was largely used in the 70’s sci-fi movies and tv shows. In the original STAR TREK tv series and movies, the font appears on the exterior of all Starfleet vessels and insignias worn by the crew.
The right type for intergalactic communications!

Happy birthday to my British Queen of cool!
If anyone needs me I’ll be in Basel.
Fondation Beyeler – Basquiat The Modena paintings. Not to be missed!
This article about JOSEF BAYER was first published in the PEDAL PROJECT MAGAZINE, issue nr.3 and presented in Prague. It was a pleasure to meet JOSEF BAYER once again!
The first time I ever saw a pair of JOSEF BAYER’s wheels was summer 2012 at the Favorit Velodrome in Brno. They were a 3-spoke and a disc wheel. They were all black and aggressive looking, but they had a small green symbol on them, very speedy, very romantic. They made a strong impression on me and I asked the man responsible for the Velodrome about them.
He replied by telling me about a certain JOSEF BAYER, builder of fantastic rims from the south of Moravia, but beyond that he knew little. The more I thought about it the more I realised that I needed to find this Mr. JOSEF BAYER, even if nobody knew how to help me, nobody had an address or contact.
I’m so sad to hear that JANE BIRKIN, the iconic British model, actor and singer has gone.
She was an unforgettable icon, with a unique voice and a great charm, a complet artist, singer and actor.
She appeared in more then 70 films under some of France’s leading directors, including Bertrand Tavernier, Agnès Varda, Jean-Luc Godard, Alain Resnais and James Ivory.
I love her role in Blow-up, a film directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, Palme d’Or in Cannes in 1967, together with Veruschka, another 1960’s iconic model and the wonderful music composed by Herbie Hancock.
She embodied freedom and elegance with her nonchalant style, in her cropped white T-shirt, flared jeans, men’s blazers. She was always so elegant and unique, a daily inspiration!
