PAMBOOK Online
February 16th 10, 19:16

Our good friends at Perks and Mini have just launched a new website for their publishing company, PAMBOOK. PAMBOOK came about 5 years ago when PAM founders, Misha Hollenbach and Shauna T wanted to work with some of their favourite artists and photographers via print media. Some of the people to be involved thus far include Peter Sutherland, Sk8thing, Mark Borthwick, Ed Templeton, Fergus Purcell and Barry McGee. Each book has a unique story to it and is printed in very limited numbers worldwide.
I’m lucky enough to have collected a number of these titles over the years and can’t recommend PAMBOOKS enough. Check them out here.

What’s 2010 going to be about for you? Well…on the one hand, reaching out to younger talent to help cultivate the next wave of creative entrepreneurs. Without the help of several selfless mentors, I’d be a fraction of who I am today; they taught me how to ask for help—and the power that being honest can yield. I was very fortunate to learn “big business” at a young age. I need to help return the favor and continue the cycle.
On the other, sitting down, once again, with my mentors to gain perspective on my mistakes—and to accurately asses the weight of my few “victories.”
Then there’s me, right in the middle, effectively wrestling with my own thoughts—my motivations versus my goals. This is the year of transition; wow, I’m going to be 30.
What are the worst trends in menswear today? Men assuming that dressing “smartly” is a suitable replacement for poise, diligence, and intelligence. After all, anyone can create a pretty box and tie a nice ribbon.
What’s the must have item for any man in 2010? Buying art (read: that will appreciate in value) that you will always love instead of clothing (that will likely depreciate). **See also, humility as per question 1.
What’s your favourite thing about where you live?The immediacy of everything and the convergence of this convenience with the sheer quality of each New York moment. Whatever you want to do, you can likely do, right here, right now, in New York.
What are you reading? 140 characters or less.
What’s the next film you’ll watch? Logorama (I need to see it again).
Your favourite store(s) in your city? Nom de Guerre and the Gagosian Shop.
Whats the best thing to come out of Blog Culture? When done the right way, blogging has given me vantage into the lives of people that I admire. That said “blog culture,” in certain instances, has given me tremendous motivation and perspective. In some ways it has given us a point of entry to speaking with someone—when you finally meet them. Perhaps someone can now say hi to me, for the first time, because of this interview…
