Got out to see Justin and Steve’s show at Subliminal Projects saturday. Good looking work. if you where to braid retro aesthetics with a unique contemporary design language and great colors on aged paper with a dollop of wit for good measure you might come close to the works on display. Steve and Justin also run a design firm worth checking out, National Forest. Oh yeah after Pho 87 and before the art show we came across this mad max gardening truck.

Blum and Poe has a group show up with some nice work in it. I think I will start taking pictures of rainbows for now on. Now that I know what to do with the pictures.

Diego really want to relieve himself here.

Walter Maciel also has a group show up with some interesting work. The tractor is clay built upon a steal frame. The shirts, frames, and lace are rubber castings.

LAX Art has show by Kori Newkirk which I thought was very interesting and timeless.

LA Contemporary was showing some digital work by Adi Da Samraj that was OK. Digital work kind of leaves my eyes burning but i do appreciate the design and color sense.

Honor Fraser and Angstrom, both in the same building, are my favorite shows from today.

Honor Fraser

Angstrom

There were more galleries and more pictures but thats it for being in front of the computer for today.

Went to the free show at the La Brea Tar pits tonight thanks to Brooke.
Awesome sounds in person, the videos don’t do it justice.

Some more interesting/strange video art. He collaborates with Dan Deacon.
If he didn’t he eventually would, but he does so we dont have to worry about that. Jimmy Joe Roche is a Baltimore based Filmmaker, Video Artist.

I will have a piece up at Sloan Fine Art starting July 30 - August 10, 2008. Another piece will be in their flat files if your interested.

good music and nice videos

sThis morning the line director at my place of employment sent these pictures of ice formations in Antartica to me. Fucking so beautiful they make me want to sell everything I own to buy a Winnebago with side pontoons to go find them. Some of the formations are actually frozen waves. The water freezes when it hits the air after bursting through the ice. This last saturday Diego and I where on our way to go hiking when we passed a yard sale. The guy having the yard sale was selling the icicles from the Transformer movie. You never know when you will need a fiberglass or styrofoam icicle.

Been a bit busy lately with my job. Preparing for spring 2009. Heres a picture of some of the T’s and outer wear.

recent work

First window display. Not my first vision of what i wanted to do but it will work under our given budget. Its at American Rag on La Brea.

Heres a T that I designed that will be sold to the masses at Urban Outfitters. Thinking about communication when I designed it. The shapes are supposed to be devices used for telecommunication. I titled T “transitor” but by the time it made it to Urban it ended up being called “Aint it fun”
