You may remember Dimitri Karakostas from when our colleagues in the UK called him the "Real Life Bart Simpson," but that article has seemingly disappered from the internet, because, well, the internet is not your permanent storage space! That's a lesson you all should learn. That's not the lesson we're here to chat about with you today though, in fact, there is no lesson whatsoever. Just take a look at these excellent photos that Dimitri shot on his travels abroad while showing his work across Europe and in Morocco. Besides taking great photos of desert landscapes and girls on beaches, Dimitri runs the Blood of the Young zine, which has such exceptionally good taste it's almost bothersome.

Expect more from the Blood of the Young crew on VICE quite soon, but enough of our blather. Here's what Dimitri has to say about his work: "I fucking hate flying. Fuck, I just hate traveling all together. I get carsick really quickly, I have panic attacks on airplanes, and I usually freeze going through customs and wind up detained [note: thanks for getting us through to the UK, Jamie]. Sonia D'Argenzio (#1 lady in my life/respectable artist/wanderlust queen) and I wound up with nine exhibitions in seven countries during the summertime, so we flew a lot more than I may have liked- but at least I wound up with something more than a self-portrait with the Mona Lisa or posing with a foreign Big Mac."
