The other day I was on twitter and writing some nonsense about how I wished Rick Froberg of the Hot Snakes and many other bands was in a new band. With in minutes, my old friends Kyle Kapow of the now defunted Kapow records hit me up with a link of Rick's new band signed to Sub Pop, Orbits! The power of Twitter! What I heard from then on was pure rock and roll bliss! I've been into Rick's stuff for quite some time and I'm even a bigger fan of his art. Another friend of mine, Rich Jacobs had introduced me to an art show that He and Rick were in at the New Image Art Gallery that I happened to shoot a few years back called "Think that Thought Alot" I geeked out pretty hard at that show over Rick and rambeled on and on about various pieces of his that I loved over they years. I ended up shooting a bunch of photos of his and Rich's stuff at the show, I also shot some portraits of both of them with thier work. Rick was such and incredibly nice guy, I hope I really didn't bum him out by nerding out too much. Another cool thing that I happened to catch that night was the first show of another Sub Pop band No Age. Come to think of it I ran into Dean from No Age over in Austin for SXSW and promised him photos from that night... oops I guess I need to really get back to him, about that. Well, I'm really glad we achive things really well here.

All this week I have been working in LA on a bunch things, but probably the most important thing I have been working on is this art show with my buddy Kelsey at the New Image Art Gallery. This is his first solo show in the U.S. and its pretty awesome. If you are free tomorrow, I highly advise you to come to the opening the work is pretty incredible.

Swoon is one of my favorite artists, I think her work is amazing, and she is really an incredible person. Every show I have seen her in has been outstanding and she is going to be showing at the New Image Art Gallery tomorrow. Swoon is one of those artists I can't help but go geeky over. I try and d keep my cool around her, but I think she is beginning to suspect. I don't really go nuts over celebrites, athletes, or anything like that, but artists, I go gaga over.

So I am feeling pretty sick today, with tons of things to do. probably too many things, but don't let my aliments effect the fact that you should be at the New Image Art Gallery today, there is a poster show there today with the Party People preforming... soooo good. sooo bummed I am sick.

GO TO THIS ART SHOW TONITE! It's gonna rule. It's at the New Image Art Gallery. There is a ton of great artists in it, but I am really excited to see the new works by Matt Leines, Matt Furie, and Taylor McKimens.

So today is the last day of the Warped Tour. The Warped tour and I have this love hate relationship. It's super hot, muggy and dirty, but every year, it calls me back. It really is a city of like a thousand people that moves it's location everyday. So you really grow close to some people and have some really great times. But, I'm glad it it's over, so I can recover for next year.

A good friend of mine, and friend of the arts, Marsea Goldberg is haveing an art opening at her gallery today that I wish I could go to featuring the work of the artist Bast. All of Marsea's shows at the New Image Art gallery are great, and the bad part of all the traveling that I have been doing is that I miss her shows. I already blew it big time when I missed out when Herbert Baglione showed there. I saw the work from that show, and it was really amazing. I'm super bummed that I'm going to miss this opening to, I really need to take some time off so I can go out and do all the things I use to do for fun. I really miss the gallery.

Here is a sample I did recently with Sammy over at Triumvir that I was pretty into. I was pretty reluctant to do it at first, because I was really busy, but I am really glad I did it, because I really liked the results. If it isn't obvious, I just got back from watching Harry Potter. Although I haven't seen it yet, I think there was also a little Hairspray mixed in there too. I'm not sure why they needed to make a new one, because I thought I thought the John Waters one was pretty genius.

It was pretty lame that I wasn't able to make it out to Detroit this week to shoot the Warped tour and Matt Gordan for RVCA due to some technical things, but things kind of worked out for the better. I was able to go over and visit Marsea and the New Image Art Gallery and head over to the Bum Squad DJ Reunion to go over and represent Skullcandy. On top of doing all that, I was able to do it wearing my new favorite shirt by Dmote for RVCA.


I haven't been over to the Gallery for quite some time, and had to get over there, because I was picking up a piece of art that Caroline Hwang left there for me, I also really wanted to see the new Herbert Baglione show that went up on the 13th. The show was really great and was almost sold out. The piece that Caroline left for me was really amazing. I can't wait to move into a new place, so that I'll have room to put it up along with a bunch of other artwork I have. Caroline's work is so good, I really dig it. It was really great being able to hang out at the gallery, I really miss it. Marsea always has som much rad stuff to show me, and on top of that, she just got in a bunch of books from the Burning House show she just put on. That book is really really good, I totally recommend it for anyone that is a Faile / Swoon / or David Ellis fan... well I take that back, I really recommend it to anyone. It also comes with a pretty awesome poster as well.
The Bum Squad DJ event was pretty crazy. I was really glad we had Derek and Octavia there to really keep things cool. The event was really great, everyone was really into all the Skullcandy stuff. We met up with tons of guys but I was really glad I got to meet up with Papoose,DJ Ski, Nina Nine from XM radio, and Yeah Boy.

On top of meeting everyone today, I got a chance to play with one of the new Skullcandy audio packs, which are pretty nice, I also got a chance to mess with a new Zune Player thanks Cl and the guys over at Digiwaxx. I've never been able to really play with a Zune player till now, and I can honestly say that it really surprised me. I really got to liking its controls after a while.
