Featured Interview

Tripoli PattersonTripoli Patterson is a pro surfer. He’s lived in Bali and New Zealand. He puts together fantastic exhibitions for artists he discovers in his travels. His tee-shirt line’s like Christopher Holland’s on acid. New York’s hipster elite love him. So too do older, more established gallery owners. Among the east end’s young wave riders, he is God. And he is only 24.

Why I’m Friends With Ben Watts…

[Ben Watts]

I am thanking GOD that I have been introduced to one of the finest party throwers out east before the summer fades away to fall, as its notorious for doing. The man behind the fabulous 4th of July party out in Montauk is an infamous creator of fun. Hopefully, as the summer weeks wear on, I’ll be able to show you why that is, as I give you a little glimpse into the life that is Ben Watts.
