Jams — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 22:44:35 +0000

We chanced into a meeting today with Carol Ai, one half of the duo behind Ai for Ai, who’s out from LA for Coterie tradeshow next week. Upcoming (and available to buyers now at the show) will be their third season, a collection of foxy pieces made with inspiration from LA artist Owen Schmit (If you missed last season’s output w Mercedes Helnwein, please get acquainted). Commercial release for the season is October 14th, and will be available at Satine and other select spots in LA.

WHAT’S MORE CONCEPTUAL THAN CALIFORNIA?

Stewie — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 06:11:21 +0000

I cannot wait to see the physical manifestations of the statement below. Thank you in advance.

To live and work as an artist in Los Angeles is to daily travel with too much awareness through a land filled everywhere with images of ghosts and ghosts of images. It is to confront head on the problem of never knowing exactly what is real about the city you call home, and to find some truth in that. In a place like this, to state the obvious is thus to state quite a bit. This is a show of artists who live and work in Los Angeles.

Prop 8 Overturned

Big shout out to California for overcoming the stifling political ambitions of LDS church money. Sorry. I ain’t normally trying to call shit out like that but it was what it was. Viva California.

This should be fun.

Crosby, Pirates, Jams, and Young

Jams — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 16:51:32 +0000

Calling all callees. The always jamming Crosby will be popping off nicely August 13th with yours truly and some dear dear friends Patchwork Pirates from London. We’ll be out doing some dates, documenting the whole process in the usual style, you’ll hear more, but this could be one of the one of the more rowdy and intimate jams. See you there.

FUCK YEAH Fest

FYF seems like a far off musical L.A. dream, but its really just around the corner and will come around sooner than you think. All I’m praying for is that it won’t be as disastrously hot as it is now, because I don’t know how cute it’ll be seeing girls reapply their makeup over their already melted off caked on masterpieces. Then again I’m kind of excited to see that. Oh and the pit stains, I love my men with pit stains. Its a fun time to be had by all, between it being the strangest mixture of people you’ll see and the pervs scoping out and around for jail bait, all to a backdrop of good music, it’s quite the scene to be missed. So don’t miss it!
