The verdict is still out on whether this is my best Christmas gift, but I’m hopeful.

I’m mourning the loss of my favorite bike ever.

my fair experience

I went to the OC Fair for the first time. Definitely glad that I went… mainly for the people watching.

art in the streets @ MOCA

I had the pleasure of checking out the Art In The Streets exhibition at the MOCA in Los Angeles this weekend. I don’t think I had ever been this excited to visit a museum, nor have I had so many artists I recognized on the program. The street art movement didn’t start with (now relatively famous) Shepard Fairey or Banksy, but has been an evolution of subversive cultures and their written/drawn/painted/sprayed messages to the masses.

It was fun to learn more about this history and be inspired by men and women who challenged status quo.

My trusty sidekick.

Some of the original graffiti artists.

Banksy also has a collection of pieces made for indoor viewing.

Last Friday The Stone Foxes kicked off a 2-month long tour at Krochet Kids intl. HQ. It was a rad and up-close-and-personal performance that showcased the band in their true fashion. Above is a quick video I shot of one of my favorite songs of theirs titled “Stomp”.

My wife and I just hosted friends at our house for a barbecue. Someone appropriately re-arranged the letters in our kitchen.

My friends from SEW creative just moved into a rad new spot in downtown LA. And mark my words… this will be a place where dreams come true.

I’m inspired by their tenacity and vision to bring social awareness and consciousness to corporate america through creativity and community. They’re doing it right. I’d recommend them for any campaign you have or problem you can’t solve, even if it is related to how to assemble a shop vac.

Here’s a recent quote from their twitter:

“A man working w/ his hands and his head is a craftsman. A man working w/ his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.”
