Thug Life

Very cool little site. First Born Multimedia lets you do pretty slick, live image texture mapping. You can control scale, opacity, redness, pics, designs.

Places in America Print

I just bought this print of a hand painted map of 'merica.

It comes with 100 orange pins to mark where I've been, one red to mark where I live, and one blue for where I'm from. What color do red and blue together make?

This is going either above my dresser in my room or in my office. We'll see where I'm inspired to pin it.

The Drums

if i saw these guys play live, i'd be a sweaty puddle of dance by the end.

roll call y'all

The "Music" section on my myspace page (seems like ages ago) was always written in the style of WLUV's Mister Señor Love Daddy's roll call in Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing. What a @*#!% good film.

Here he is, paying homage to artists who make our lives just a little bit brighter.

From your toes to your temples

I stand up paddle boarded for four hours Saturday. I earned this damn cookie and beer.

High five! Very nice!

As our days get warmer, my thumbs are getting greener.

Last weekend, I built a little terrarium for my office, made collard green wraps and a kale/jicama/beet/turkey sausage/braggs stew, and sailed (that part's not necessarily 'green thumb').

This weekend, I'm attending a workshop put on by the lovely Tara of Silverlake Farms on how to build a Vegetable Garden at home. A party at the beach is also in the plans. Perhaps stand up paddle boarding in the Marina again.

Eno x Grizzly Bear / Phoenix

Fun idea.

Phoenix was asked by Grizzly Bear to remix "Foreground". They decided to leave it up to us to mix it with Brian Eno's "Canon in D Minor".

Up There - Hand Painted Murals

This is a good little documentary on the fading art of hand painted advertising murals. I love that we still have a lot of these LA.

Up There is a nice slice of life with a compelling story, and the cinematography is gorgeous - hit pause, and you're probably looking at a viable, printable photograph. However, the same guy directed, DP'd, and edited the piece, and this is a prime example of why you shouldn't try to do it all. The edit isn't near the level of the photography and direction. That being said, this is very much worth your 10 minutes!
