Age: 30
Nationality: American
Occupation: Selling clothes, kicks and art;
Photographer and film video director.
In Amsterdam: leagally or illegally ;)?

Why did you move to Amsterdam?
I met a girl. Now its my shop, wolf and pack.

What do you like to do in Amsterdam?
I work 7 days a week. So, my work is my hobby and life.
I drink sometimes too, I think that’s a hobby if you do it enough.
I also like to collect miniature toy houses that take me months
and months to make, but then I burn them, and film it like its
a disaster movie. I am using this footage to help prove 9/11
was a inside job, all my toy houses are made of steel.

What do you think of Amsterdam street culture,
how the people dress, express themselves?
I think that I like that people like what I sell, and that we’re
still here doing our thing with wolf and pack. but I don’t think
about Amsterdam street culture much, cause that’s like thinking
about your life, and most people don’t do that too often.

Did your style of clothing changed since you live here,
and because of what? These can be emotional, cultural
reasons or practical reasons such as weather or
availability.
I have always been Julian. To a fault at times.

Are you influenced by what you consider Dutch culture
or by any other culture represented in Amsterdam?
I think that there is a change happening in Dutch culture on
a massive level right now. I don’t know what they want it to be
or is anymore. Closing the coffee shops, the red light almost
gone. I am influenced by my instincts and the options that
the people I trust see as being possible. I believe in a better
tomorrow, and I believe in myself.

Are you aware of the fact that 177 cultures are
represented in Amsterdam?
I think that it is lost on most people. Amsterdam is a group
first, culture second type of place, as any real city type of place
is. So, I think that most people stick with their crew and do their
thing. But in the end, I go to this place called burrito that serves
Mexican food, but he is from Egypt, I guess that has something
to do with what your talking about. kinda.
