Londonist Behind The Lens: Chris Osburn AKA Tiki Chris

Londonist Behind The Lens: Chris Osburn AKA Tiki Chris
By

January 24, 2009

London is (or at least often can be) such a photogenic place. There's just something about it. I mean, for the most part, it's not incredibly beautiful … not like Paris or Barcelona anyway. Nor is London terribly stunning; you really can't compare it to the vertical awe of Manhattan or the mind boggling expanse of, say, Shanghai. However, the story London tells through its streets, landmarks and faces (oh the faces in this town!) is as compelling as any I've ever experienced. The story is one of weathering crises with resolve and engaging the world on its own terms. Through my photography, I hope to share that story with the viewer. Sometimes I think I come close to succeeding.

Sickboy: Stay Free (Whitehot Magazine of Contemporary Art)

One more Sickboy article. Here's a link to some more stuff I wrote about his Stay Free show.

Sickboy: Stay Free
Chris Osburn
Whitehot Magazine of Contemporary Art
January 2009












Not content to simply wow exhibition goers with a retrospective of his best street and studio work, prolific London graffiti artist, Sickboy (whom we interviewed back in February 08), saw his recent solo show, Stay Free, as an opportunity to give something back to his fans in the way of offering his massive Stay Free Factory installation as a prize to one lucky exhibition visitor. During the December 4th through 10th run of the Stay Free exhibition, a thousand golden keys were released to the exhibition visitors with the person whose key fit the lock becoming the new owner of the Stay Free Factory (worth an estimated £20,000).

Best Cat Sitter in London!

Yep, I know her and would be happy to recommend her to anyone in need of a kind, thoughtful, smart cat sitter who charges reasonable rates.

I'm a bit of a crank when it comes to people staying in my flat and don't like the idea of just anyone looking after my kitties. My wife's even more of a zealot when it comes to keeping a tidy home and with respect to the well being of our pets, she expects the utmost care. We both hold our cat sitter in the highest regard.

She even texts photos of our cats to us and sends us regular updates about how everything's going.


Contact me if you'd like to get in touch with London's most awesome-est cat sitter.

I’m sitting here at
Hartsfield International Airport (ick) in Atlanta waiting for my flight back to Heathrow (double ick). Despite the prospect of an especially sinister case of jetlag and an ever increasing pile of work waiting to gang up on me across The Pond, I’m more than ready to return. Three weeks is a long time to be away. I miss my wife, my kitties, my daily routine and the city I call home.
