Karly Ellis used to imagine Alberta’s oilsands city with veils of thick smoke and molten lava. After living there for two years, she discovered a bright collective of people who make up this unique place.
Democratic candidates have shied away from talking about the Capitol siege. That could change if voters flock to a former federal prosecutor running for a House seat in California.
Framed by white curtains and stood against the red brick tower blocks of the city, West-London born, British-Serbian artist TRAPY looks down from a window at his beloved London the place he says he’ll never leave with the capital’s name inked in striking, bold letters across his shoulder blades. It’s grey and miserable, like the capital mostly is but he adores it. The image is a still from the video for his new track, ‘MILLIE’, and it’s the very first taster of his forthcoming debut mixtape as TRAPY.
There’s a chance you already know of TRAPY, be it from his tattooing moniker Traphouse, or his graffiti tags that embellish buildings across the world. He’s inked everyone from A$AP Rocky to Skepta, and prior to the pandemic, travelled every other week to different cities to tattoo his designs of girls in Louis Vuitton-clad bikinis, souped-up sports cars, Stone Island badges and Nokia 3310s onto the fans of his tongue-in-cheek style of Y2K body art.
