Why I Need to go to Los Angeles NOW

Last Saturday, Los Angeles' Martha Otero Gallery held an opening reception for their latest exhibition: "Rebus" by L.A.-based artist James Jean.

The subject matter is a fictionalized subconscious representation of deities in an apocalyptic decaying romanticized setting. Jean’s visual symbolism is composed of an amalgamation of lyrically gestural, expressionistic, energetic, abstracted forms from highly detailed images to freely inscribed graffiti.

When asked who my favorite artist is, I say James Jean as if it were a kinetic reflex of some sort. I intend on starting a collection of my own eventually, circumstances permitting. Till then I will simply gawk at the following and hope to make it down there before the exhibition ends.

New Short Film in the Making

For the past month I've been putting a lot of energy into a (yet to be titled) super 16 short film. We (Brad Richardson, Beccy Bernstein and yours truly) are finally at the post production phase and could not be happier.

Shot with the aesthetic of a 1920s German Expressionist film, the piece is a modern take on the genre.

Here are some 'behind the scenes' shots taken by myself and Kams, who also stars in the film alongside Jay Watts.

I will be posting the finish product here in due time.

Just Shut the Fuck up!

I really don't know what it is (maybe the season change makes people more irritating and myself more irritable), but this thought has been occupying 90% of my mind lately.
