Supreme Tweeter: A New Web Series That Has Us All Atwitter

Posted on 2015-04-07 by Madison Salters

In a satirically self-effacing look at the strange (and sometimes unsavoury) connectivity of Twitterverse, Harry Lloyd and Jayne Hong‘s new production, Supreme Tweeter, has hit the world wide web at a sprint. Boiling the internet down to its bones in twenty minutes of brisk and effortless humour, they’ve created an inside look at what celebrity means in the 21st century, crafting a tale both caustic and charming. I sat down with Jayne and Harry the night of Supreme Tweeter’s April 1st release to hear about their creative process, and the film’s eccentric milieu of London daily life, North Korean diplomacy, and Photoshop.

An Interview with Chef Albert Roux (Great British Chefs)

Golden Lane Estate and Me: Documentary Screening at Exhibit Gallery, EC1

Posted on 2013-09-21 by tikichris

As I told filmmaker Esther Johnson, the year I lived at Golden Lane Estate was “very potent”. That she happened to come round the estate looking for residents to interview for her film, The View From My Window Tells Me I’m Home, just seemed like a fantastic coincidence to have someone there to document it for me.

American Expat Living in London, Meet Chris (Expats Blog)

Posted on 2013-09-09 by tikichris

Just because Britain and America share a common language, doesn’t mean there aren’t significant cultural differences between them. If you’re coming here from the States, don’t assume things are the same as “back home.” You are in a foreign country. And when you do encounter differences, don’t immediately assume that the Brit way is inferior or even an adaptation. Continue reading →

In Conversation with Dan Witz (Whitehot Magazine of Contemporary Art)

Posted on 2013-02-18 by tikichris

I’ve always enjoyed working in London. Next to NYC, it’s my favorite city for doing street art The light in both places is similar, a soft, post-industrial gloom that seems to suit the emotional temperature of my work. Also, when you get up close in London there’s a grit in the pores that’s exactly the same as New York’s. Since usually I’m using a NYC grate, my pieces transfer well, and feel like they belong.
