Gunnzo Open House...

It's a customizing and trading party at Gunnzo! If you live in San Diego, you should definitely go. Say hi to my friend Charlie when you're there too.

Daft punk art...

This group show looks amazing! It opens May 18th at the Gauntlet Gallery in San Francisco. Wish I could be there.

one of those nights...

 April 13th, no one was available to play with me, but that doesn't mean I won't have an adventure on my own, especially on one of those nights in Culver city where all my favorite galleries are having an opening at the same time. I started at LeBasse Projects for Trusto Corp's "The Future is Blight" show featuring an installation that blanketed LA county with care packages for poverty.

 Polaroids of the care packages spell HELP across Los Angeles.

 Trusto Corp collaborated with Shepard Fairey, London Police, and David Flores for Trusto Cereal flavors.

 Next door at Thinkspace was Meggs' "Heavenly Creatures," filled with bold colors in motion.

 Of course, I loved the phoenix.

 Blum and Poe, around the block was exhibiting in their expansive space "Arhat" by Takashi Murakami. I originally thought I missed opening night since I saw posts from the VIP opening, but I was very happy to discover I was wrong.

 I was obsessed with this metal sculpture. For an idea of how big it was, the smallest skull was a little bigger than my own head.

 At Corey Helford Gallery, Kazuki Takamatsu's "Japanese Ideology of Puberty" show was mind blowing.

The details and textures and size of everything very much made my jaw drop.

 After all that, I treated myself to some Cool Haus ice cream.

the outside...

Craola has a new book! and you know how much I love a new art book, especially released by a favorite.

Drawing Mr. Toast...

 This piece is mine!

Gallery 1988: East opened Dan Goodsell's Drawing Mr. Toast show April 5th. At this show, we could buy the art off the wall and take it home immediately, so I bought one.

Tokidoki X bicycle...

These tokidoki bicycle cards were released in September last year. I only just got myself a deck in a really round about way, but I got them!

Luke Chueh X Coachella...

If you're going to Coachella, help me buy this T-shirt designed by Luke Chueh please!

Baseman X Coachella ...

Gary Baseman designed a T-shirt for this year's Coachella!

love shack mural...

About a year and half ago, I moved 55 miles from the South Bay for my current job. There was a non-existent social life in the city I moved to, so I drove down almost every single weekend for a year. Taking PCH from Malibu to Manhattan Beach is not a bad drive. I was always curious about the Love Shack, although I admit never stopping to go inside, it was a landmark I looked forward to during the commutes. A few weeks ago, I was delighted to see the entire facade was painted over by Chase. I'm pretty sure I caused some traffic trying get a clear look as I drove past.

wellness beat...

My team admin lady asked me to create a logo just for emails and bulletin boards at work that updates people on health events like our blood drive and sponsoring the American Heart Association heart walk. Of course everything we do must evoke a sense of rock and roll. It was a quick project, and I like how it came out in the end.

Obey x Trusto Cereal...

I'm jealous of whoever grabs this Reverse Shoplifting cereal box by Trusto Corp and Obey. Although there will be 9 more...

Hopefully I can at least make the TrustoCorp show at LeBasse Projects next weekend.

Postal Sketches Round 9...

Life has pushed me along and I lost my blogging train of thought for a while. I was still attending art shows and looking for inspiration everywhere. Postal Sketches was still being sent up and down western edge of the United States, and it has finally come home to me after a whole year of traveling! Thanks for keeping up with me if you're still around.

have yourself a merry little christmas...

 Merry Christmas from me!

After the Laughter...

Opening night for Herakut's show at LeBasse Projects: Chinatown was Feb. 25. I missed the Lucent Dossier performances the weekend before, so I was determined to make it early enough for the book signing.

 Hera was still painting finishing touches and personalizing just purchased paintings when we got there.

 The space was amazing and overwhelming, filled with sculptures, paintings, graffiti, props...

 ...and live performers from the previous weekend's show. I loved it all.

Lucent Dossier x Herakut...

Someone come with me!

Please?
