Some could say that previous New York MOOKS Reporter, Unemployed Lloyd is what you call a ”genius.” Genius in the sense that he has managed to get by for the past ten years, in one of the most expensive cities in the world, on little to no money. If you’ve ever been to New York City and seen the price of housing for anywhere remotely considered not in the sticks, you’ll realize that this in itself is a fine art.
Walk down 7th Avenue until you are smack bang in between 2nd and 1st streets in Brooklyn and you’ll stumble across the school P.S. 321. Weather permitting, all year round on both Saturday and Sunday, you’ll also find the sellers at the Park Slope Flea Market offering their range of clothing, furniture, records and other miscellaneous bric-a-brac in the school’s yard, amongst climbing frames and other playground favourites.
Without any exaggeration, it is safe to say that New Zealand-born, New York-based photographer Tom Gould, is one of the most offhandedly hilarious guys you will ever meet. His stories of rat baggism and rascalism as a youngster – told with wide eyes and raised brows – will have you laughing so hard you may actually snort in public.
Some people say they can do everything. 27-year-old New York based artist Lauren Lacey Slowik, is not one of those people. But the things she can do include, but are not limited to the following:

Let’s preface this MOOKS Report by saying this: Los Angeles producer Daedelus is the most humble, polite and all round chivalrous gentleman in the music biz. And Saturday night not only confirmed our suspicious, but cemented them. There he was, the headlining act, manning the merchandise stand for his relatively new imprint label Magical Properties, all dandy-clothed and armed with gracious smiles.
