"ihockney"

Cover of June 1993 Vanity Fair by David Hockney

 Cover of the Nov 2010 issue featuring Mr. Hockney's ipad art

Later this month Mr. Hockney will be visiting Canada to celebrate the opening of a new exhibition of his ipad drawings.

The exhibition at  the Royal Ontario Museum (Running from Oct 8) will show works which appeared previously in Paris at the Fondation Pierre Berge - Yves St. Laurent and most recently at Lauisiana.

I'd love to go, obviously, but IN THIS ECONOMY (readers of dlisted will catch my reference here) I fear I stand no chance.

The "ihockney" title of this post is a direct quote from Hockney, which I found in the Nov 2010 issue of Vanity Fair and is the name he gives to his ipad works of art, which I think is very funny.

How is he this cool?

Whilst looking through past issues of Vanity Fair online I came across the most glorious Hockney Cover (a photograph of his shoes) again I ask the question...

How is he this cool?

To see more references on Mr. Hockney visit Vanity Fair online and put his name in the search - it's a good time spent looking at the archive covers too  www.vanityfair.com

More on Pierre Berge and Yves St. Laurent to come, needless to say they are idols of mine.
