Ian Strange

http://www.convicts.nyc/convicts/ian-strange

Sometimes you do discover these big great worlds and have these mind-expanding moments, but a lot of the time you also realize that the people you grew up with were actually quite incredible. To explore the space between our warm notions about hearth and home, and the physical realities these notions are tethered to. CONVICTS caught up with Strange in New York and got his good word on growing up in Western Australia, the awe-inspiring physical mechanics of the project, and the universal significance ...

Oh Brother!

http://www.convicts.nyc/convicts/oh-brother

We get fresh fish everyday. Its good to know a fisherman. Its worth more than currency knowing a fisherman. Ask all of my neighbors. The ocean is Robert Aaronson’s driveway. Aaronson is the cigar-chomping captain of a forty-foot charter fisherman, the Oh Brother, and has the salty attitude to match. Though the Oh Brother! Runs trips every day, its home waters are in a bygone era, when Montauk was dubbed The Fishing Capitol of the World.". Hey Captain Rob. To start, can you tell us a bit about Montauk?

What So Not

http://www.convicts.nyc/convicts/what-so-not

What So Not -. Ill come back from a surf and look at a project completely differently. I see flaws, I see mistakes, I can hear things a lot better and I can apply it all. I am sure its the same for a lot of people after they reset their mind. Hey, mate. How was the ocean today? It was pretty amazing. At first, I think I was one of the only people out there to start which is very unusual coming from very crowded beaches, and surfing in brown water full of garbage and seaweed with all sorts of gooey th...

Osvaldo Chance Jimenez

http://www.convicts.nyc/convicts/osvaldo-chance-jimenez

Osvaldo Chance Jimenez -. I wrote a descriptive essay on how to roll a blunt, and it caught my teacher’s eye. She was like ‘Yo, you’re kind of a really good writer’. Convicts caught up with the writer and poet at his clothing store Le Petit Mort on Orchard St. during Thanksgiving week while he shared an honest and gritty journal entry from years past. We captured an honest and raw stream of consciousness recollection about a holiday all-nighter spent cold and alone on the city streets. My friends became ...

If Id grown up playing baseball Id be much better at doing this. Lauren Calhoun is passionate about her pizza.

I'm Lauren. We’re here at Moby's in East Hampton. I gre...

Sean Keenan

http://www.convicts.nyc/convicts/sean-keenan

I got a yellow surfboard for Christmas. Some big, old, chunky piece of shit, but it was my board. Sean Keenan is an old soul. Hailing from Albany, Western Australia, Sean brings a humble eye to life’s chaotic ebb and flow. The star of Puberty Blues is the kind of guy who sees New York as lively rather than crowded, and work as a privilege rather than a burden. Hey Sean. How's it going, mate? Let’s start with the boring stuff. Where are you from? Did you grow up surfing? And you got bitten by the surf bug?

C.W. Stoneking

http://www.convicts.nyc/convicts/cw-stoneking

I thought it was probably the modern day Rome or something like that. The big city of the new world, I guess youd call it. Thats what I before I got here, and thats pretty much what it looks like on the ground. How’s it going C.W? To start what's New York City to you? Know you have some roots here. What is it to me? How did you envision the city before you saw it? Did it live up to the picture painted in your mind as a kid? What about playing music here? People here are far friendlier than you’d expect.
