mens fashion just got really sexy this season.

2008-11-12T05:35:00.000-08:00

a band of outsiders. cute, whimsical and very in the spirit of my good friend Oliver.

but on the other side SOCIAL-SUICIDE ad campagns just blew me away.
Skinhead+ Mod subculure! I think im in love, very edgy and true to the 60's spirit.

Im very jealous at the boys right now.

rock n roll will never die

2008-11-11T21:54:00.000-08:00

Go! diesel for actually really impressing me on a certain bag that I cant find online.
I had a vision of the perfect bag, which I could not find anywhere, till I walked into the store on 14th ave. Now I need this bag more then amy winehouse needs her husband.

Im starting to think I need to stalk up on all these fall items. It doesnt get better then this, its an asymmetrical black fall.

Zippers, Studs and leather.. three of my favorite things.

art asia!!!

2008-11-09T18:20:00.001-08:00

check out my banner!!!
its so exciting to see your work in action!
Iv been working on the whole art asia identity for the past month and half and its slowly coming together.

whatever happened to bomfunk mc's

2008-10-13T18:38:00.000-07:00

I remember being 15 watching freestyle on my grandpa's euro MTV. I though they were so fresh for its time.
I just saw this video..for cheap effects.. its pretty classic.

elena mady was a voice back up for a lot electro bands at the time.
For someone who used to listen to all those uk 82 punk bands I dont know why I know all these random facts on electro.
But I think its because electro holds a place in my heart..this was my favorite video of all time..

ps.. im glad new york isnt like this anymore.

coats..!

2008-09-29T18:28:00.000-07:00

so im in the market for coats.. and iv been looking for the perfect simple yet classic coat.

I keep getting distracted by really cool ones though such as
Rick Owens "the new collection owns my heart this season"

K KARL LAGERFELD kept his collection pretty safe, but the zippers on this coat give it that punk rock feel which is classic and edgy.

This coat by MANOUSH is pure sweetness, with a military edge.

have you ever fallen in love.

2008-09-14T17:42:00.000-07:00

more with nature then you will ever with a human being?

Or is it just the love of observation that makes you fall in love with what's around you. As if you were staring at a leaf for the very first time admiring its every shade and contour. So much beauty that never hurts you, how can you ever fall out of love?

I live next to that tall pointy church. Beautiful!

hello new start

I have been gravitating towards neutral tones for the past few years.

latest pieces of work.

2008-08-09T19:12:00.000-07:00

TA DA!! and your wondering to yourself.. how does she do that with no drugs!!

also would it be silly to ride a bike with this helmet ..I have always wanted a vespa when I was younger.. but I am in love with scooter helmets.. and I think this one would match my bike really well.

all mine!

2008-08-08T20:43:00.000-07:00

im a little scared of riding it in the streets yet.
I need to get a chain though, I didn't realize they cost around 100

I have no clue what's going on in the world

2008-08-06T20:03:00.000-07:00

No Tv .. means no worries. truthfully I'm more of a radio person.
I just like KCRW..
Latest works. Im working on one, thats taking me too long. Its for a show.. but I forget where the show is.. somewhere far away from me. I guess thats the important fact.

Its just so hard for me to work on it.. cause I come home soo tired. These dogs I take care off, wont let me sleep..They have been spoiled beyond repair.

hell yeah .. the process is back on!!!

2008-08-02T23:43:00.000-07:00

sneak peak.. of my train

2008-08-02T09:00:00.000-07:00

I used to be sooo fucking amazing in art. Dont know why I stopped.
I created this piece when I was 19.. I wish I kept going with my series.. its just always hard when you dont have stability in your life.

my current color pallet

2008-07-27T07:26:00.000-07:00

so this is my dream color pallet that was inspired by the viceroy hotel in palm springs. White, Silver's, neutral grays and that beautiful yellow lemon color for a touch of excitement.

All my old apartments looked love a hippie love fest, which is great when your 18- 20, cause thats what you kind of want, right? a chill pad that you don't have to worry about when trashed by a party. This time I would like to try something more sophisticated and timeless. IF there even is a next time and if I could actually afford rent at the moment.

the IT laptop bag.

2008-07-27T06:32:00.000-07:00

I like clean cut designs that have classic shapes but also a small touch of punk attitude. I was trying to find the brand of this bag, ever since I stepped into Opening Ceremony on La Ciengia in L.A.

I think its the most perfect laptop bag. Its simply beautiful and the zippers give it a little rock n roll edge, which to me is just perfect.

www.wantessentials.com

The Ipod holder is pretty bad ass as well.
The bag retails for around 950 and the Ipod holder for 250

GIRLFRIEND get up!

2008-07-25T15:24:00.000-07:00

totally destroyed one of my books. Not that I care, but its sad when old books just don't stay together and fall apart so fast.

There is something that really turns me off about new books, but Im about to finish this one, and my next train read is going to be on the road- jack kerouac. I need to find a flea market out here in ny.

Got home today from being in the city and started finishing one of my doodles.

This week in Brooklyn:
saterday GHOSTLAND OBSERVATORY- Celebrate Brooklyn / Prospect Park Bandshell
Sunday- MGMT- at McCarren Park Pool Party

Enjoy the weekend to come.

home sickness and missed connections.

2008-07-24T16:41:00.000-07:00

While looking at jobs I got really bored and starting looking at the new york missed connection. I saw this little post, and it was the nicest little post that really made my day a bit brighter.

Here it goes;

One week ago this morning, you were standing on the morning Q train, short black hair severely cut in contrast against your skin, wearing glasses and arching a hellenic neck over some Ayn Rand. I was standing and reading David Markson. My god, think of the uncompromising English that could exist between us.

But I departed at 34th St. and left a trail of unrhymed couplets trudging in my wake. Truth is, never see you again - but know that on a dreary morning train you were the absence of all superfluous material from Parkside to 34th St.

the only reason I have any doubt to believe its about me is because I ride the Q and I'm reading an ayn rand book but I could also be completely wrong.

shakey first week in ny

2008-07-20T16:40:00.000-07:00

started of new york in the worst possible way.
I lost my appetite and completely went into my inner zone, which isnever fun,but walking around the city makes me happy.

my current room, it looks like a 5 year olds dorm room. Thank god i brought my own bedding

the Q train, which at the moment is my favorite train, except sometimes it runs funny

You know whats wonderful about being on the train, you can actually read! in l.a you never had time to read.
So I get to actually finish my book. the virtues of selfishness by ayn rand

saw deerhoof at prospect park.
and guess who I saw. chris Kedzie.. so that was great, I totally forgot he moved to ny as well

ego shot down

2008-07-16T18:07:00.000-07:00

its funny how in los angeles, I felt I could get anything I wanted. I guess Hollywood gives you an ego boost. New York makes me feel like a pea in a pod. Just another human looking for a job and a way to support him/herself.

some cool jap place/ scion gallery/ ratatat .. saterday fun

2008-07-14T11:16:00.000-07:00

tons of fun on Saturday.
started of by stumbling upon a new little Japanese cafe/art galley
Owners private collection was amazing!

Then we hit scion and saw the photo exhibition, which was ok, a lot of work im not impressed by, but thats ok. But the images below I did really like. Anything thats B+W and has rock n roll "especially punk. Thats what always catches my eye.

The we hit the echoplex, silverlake and caught ratatat. I really like their new cd, but I thought the whole one band performing the whole night was kind of a disappointment.

The we drove back home only to stop by the coolest gas station and find out best friend hanging out there!.

lost art and lost questions

2008-07-09T11:23:00.000-07:00

So, Everyone tells me, that I'll be back in los angeles and that I shouldnt move.
I keep getting asked the question "WHY ARE YOU MOVING" ... DUDE, I DONT KNOW! But when I do, I'll give you a great AMAZING answer.

As for now.. let me make my own mistakes.

BTW I found them! my lost illustrations that I thought I threw away. They were from the PUlSE show.

pack for me.

2008-07-07T22:01:00.000-07:00

so i havnt really packed, no I lie I DONT KNOW HOW to pack.
so I looked up online and I looked up on what a person should get rid.
My conclusion... I'm a rat pack..

the sad thing is.. almost 80% is clothing
and 20% is actual small possessions.
The ratio looks off doesnt it?

tommrow is my attempt to reorganize and pack and.. pack light!
I'm looking to start over.. not start again with the same junk.

music based on my mood.

2008-07-06T14:06:00.000-07:00

There are a lot of places providing music now a days, but this one simply amazing. MUSICOVERY is music based on ones mood; calm, upbeat, + -
The bands are a bit repetitive but the music is great and gives you full song's, that then chains off to the next.

2008-01-29T18:21:00.000-08:00

so I here are some images of my latest piece which was displayed at the grind.

and here is a piece that got rejected from a show.. i guess its not political enough.. but i can care less

coming back from my new york trip I have began tapping into my spirituality "Thanks Monsey, New York!".. I guess as you get older.. its something that starts becoming interesting.. I'm hoping to use some of my gained knowledge towards my next pieces which will revolve around religion and culture.. something we havn't had enough of... "yes thats sarcasm"

art show coming up! this month!

2007-11-21T19:54:00.000-08:00

While being a DJ at KXLU 88.9 Los Angeles, I have acquired a nice little collection of cd's. If you know me.. you might know that I am not big on disks and would rather have everyone send me LPs/45's

Although that's expensive and I seem to get a lot of CD's sent my way. Iv been on the search for a good CD case to hold my collection and throw away those stupid jewel cases.
I think I finally found what I have been looking for!

http://www.hipce.com/

Its has a contemporary steal feel, with a modern edge and holds 180 disks. At around $25.00 its the coolest CD case storage that I have yet to find.
Now if only they made a record box like that.... I guess thats another search..

a trip to sf

2007-11-20T14:19:00.000-08:00

I was in San Fransisco this past weekend and I have to say sf always manages to take a piece of my heart. SF is so design conscious, makes me wonder why L.A isn't catching up.
I came across this great little shop www.parklifestore.com, right before I had to leave and they had this killer deck set designed by Andrew Schoultz. priced at 300.00 its a dream piece for the right person.

also this random little clock stole my attention one night, and was the main reason for me wanting to come back to this shop in the morning.

Here are a few images from my trip.

MUM at the Orpheum los angeles

2007-10-31T14:55:00.000-07:00

Mum was so beautiful live. They played at the Orpheum in downtown, I think the whole audience was in a trance while they preformed.

wanted

2007-08-04T13:10:00.000-07:00
