Adrian Fernand is an Australian writer born in Melbourne.
He has spent close to a decade in the communications and event management industries; working as an event manager for leading luxury goods brand, Louis Vuitton and as director of a marketing, events and online strategy consultancy. He has in excess of 90 pairs of shoes.
He’s been heralded as the world’s greatest living art forger, he’s copied everything from Dalí to Rembrandt to Rothko, and has even forged a 1958 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa (of which only two were ever made)—from scratch. Now he’s taken on Warhol and has been commissioned to fake nine works by the famed pop artist by the Art [...]
He’s played a range of characters: from brusque hotelier, to medieval madman and even Lucy Liu’s father in Charlie’s Angels 2: Full Throttle, one of the best worst movies ever made (Hello, Demi in mink and lingerie!). His career spans five decades, in which he walked sillily, made fun of the French and generally stood [...]
Have you ever woken up and felt like an inkjet printer? No, you say? Well give this a listen and let me convince you otherwise: Yes it’s a strange comparison, but there are days when the magenta cartridge runs out and you can’t help but feel a bit greige. That’s grey plus beige, in case [...]
When I was an infant, I suspect I was weaned on champagne. While I wasn’t allowed Coca-Cola because it would rot my teeth, I suspect a piccolo of the good stuff was upturned, a rubber teat attached and a mild sprinkling tested on my mother’s wrist. While I’m hesitant to admit the holes in my [...]
If you’re a bit of a hippy in a fur coat like me, it’s likely that you will have meddled with a bit of crystal in your past. No, not that kind of crystal, Jason Russell (allegedly), I’m talking about that agate that you find exclusively at wooOOOOOOooooooo stores as my grandmother liked to call [...]
How would you like me to tell you that you were terrible in bed, had halitosis worse than a crack-addicted garlic farmer and your choice in footwear was less than desirable? Didn’t think so. Now what if someone who you once dated, no matter to what extent of humiliation could do the same and do [...]
If you live in a rough area, chances are you know the versatility of the humble house brick. Informal coffee table? No problem. Home protection device? Excellent. A way of extracting the rent out of an irresponsible housemate? Perfect! Now you can add bookend to its list of uses. Made in Melbourne from the discarded [...]
As if the Internet wasn’t already ablaze with talk of Tupac Shakur’s holographic resurrection (gotta love an estate prepared to pimp out their deceased loved ones) at Coachella, 90s hiphop hype is at fever pitch. But what about poor old Snoop? His co-performance of the egregiously-spelt ”2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted” (Though, this came from a [...]
Have you ever noticed what a bad wrap wolves have received in folklore? In the Three Little Pigs, the poor asthmatic wolf huffed and puffed his way into a cauldron wolf soup, which The Guardian has cleared up as an insurance scam by the pigs themselves. In Little Red Riding Hood the poor old wolf was so hungry he had to [...]
On I Do Believe I Came with a Hat we talk about the refined things in life and from time to time, weddings. While we aim to be exclusive, our stance is not the same concerning marriage. You see, for too long now only a certain portion of the community has been able to get [...]
