Photographer Hans Eijkelboom has spent decades documenting tribes of people wearing the same clothes – from double denim to fur hoods and mini Louis Vuitton manbags – for his series People of the Twenty-First Century
in 1989, the image marks Bowie's second appearance on Time's cover (the first came July 18, 1983 for the release of his "Let's Dance" album).
Greyson Perry, odd duck, as the British say (he's a Brit). He's a painter, sculpter, quilter and motorcycle designer. He had the Harley built by Battistini's Customs, and they charge about £100,000. Unique among bike builders, as they operate in England, and had a tattoo parlour in their shop. http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/9820654.Motorcycle_maker_Battistinis_shuts_shop_to_go_online/?ref=rss Perry’s bike is, as one look will confirm, unlike any other. An extraordinary, custom-made bike, based on a Harley-Davidson Knucklehead and named the “Kenilworth AM1”, it also features a reliquary – a sort of saintly Wendy house – on the back, specifically to carry his 50-year old teddy bear, Alan Measles. The stretched petrol tank, painted in pink and blue, sports the words “Patience” and “Humility” on either side: not qualities usually associated with Harley riders. The bike was the star of the show at last year’s Grayson Perry-curated show at the British Museum, “Tomb of the Unknown Craftsman”, positioned at the top of the imposing staircase in the museum’s atrium. http://www.limewoodhotel.co.uk/downloads/LIMEWIRE3.pdf http://thevintagent.blogspot.com/2011/12/grayson-perry-at-british-museum.html
