This week's East Village Boy of the Week is Gabriel, from Brooklyn

A writer born and raised in Paris, these days Gabriel calls Brooklyn home. These images, his first in front of the camera, convey the duality of his personality—a refreshing mixture of ingenuity, rawness, beauty and sincerity. During our time together I also discovered an understated artistic side to his multifaceted and schizophrenic personality that is perhaps best embodied by the horns of his tattooed stag. When asked to sum up his feeling about his time abroad, his work, and his new home in Brooklyn he simply said "one should not follow only one path in his life, but explore as many as possible."
