I've had a Mon Oncle poster rolled up in a tube for quite some time now. Michael's downstairs is having a 60% off all custom framing sale. Perhaps it's time.

Giant Steps

These athletes really are artists. DeMar DeRozan could be (a 6'7, black) Mikhail Baryshnikov gliding through the air, and Javale McGee has this graceful coordination and power like Savion Glover's.

Stevie Wonder sat court side for the All Star game (you might ask why and I'll answer). He says he likes to have his feet on the court so he can feel the rhythm of the ball bouncing, the players running and stopping. The notion can sound trite, Tap even, but it's true. There's a rise and fall to every move, possession, game, and season.

Take a look at these guys.

New Radiohead

Radiohead released their new album, The King of Limbs, today, along with this video for "Lotus Flower." Pretty darn good.

Addendum: Alejandro sent me this user created video of Tom's dance set to "Single Ladies." So funny.

Fog Happens

We tried to sail on Sunday, but got turned back at the break by a layer of fog you could cut with a butter knife.

Trifecta

ping pong, sailing, and maps. this picture just hit the trifecta.

Michael Sherwin

From his Flux Series:

“In this series of large format inkjet prints, I set the camera to automatically take pictures each minute as I walk along familiar paths. Then, the collection of photographs is brought into Photoshop, where I create a large canvas and randomly drop each image into the larger composition. I am interested in the patterns formed between the individual images and the collective montage, as well as questioning the inherent stasis of the photographic image.”

William Eggleston plays the piano

William Eggleston, one of the most important American photographers, the man who legitimized color photography in fine art, is apparently also a fine pianist. I had the privilege of shaking his hand and having a quick chat with Bill (sobriquet, since we're tight now) at the opening of his LACMA/BCAM show. Here he is playing.
