Punk Pencils

This is a concept for a poster I’d like to print, hopefully soon. I’m working on a bunch of new art concepts in the “poster” format right now because it’s something that I’ve always loved, but have done very little work in.
Find Yourself

Went on a hike up in Chantry Flats (above Pasadowner) last weekend with some buds and saw this great sign. This is ODB pondering it’s great wisdom. Peace.
Around Town Photos – New Camera
Monday, February 2nd, 2009
So I just got a new digi. I was looking at the Canon G10, the Panasonic Lumix LX3 and the Ricoh GX200. After a ton of research and shooting the LX3 and G10 down at Samy’s, I ended up going with the LX3. I am very happy with the purchase, although, I don’t think I could have gone wrong with any of the above cameras. Anyways, I shot a few ’round town pics while riding my bike the last couple days. One day I rode over to my buddy’s shop (Barracuda), with whom I’m working on a top-secret art project, and another day I rode with Jed over to the LACMA and checked out the current exhibit on cold war East vs. West German art. Not really impressed, but those Germans do some weird shit. (more…)
21st Century Politics, by The Electric Company
Monday, February 2nd, 2009When I was a kid, I used to watch The Electric Company. I also watched H.R. Pufnstuf and Sesame Street and ZOOM and Villa Alegre (a bilingual kids program), Land of the Lost, Lost in Space, Sigmund the Seamonster, and a ton of others, some of which were educational and creatively expanding, and many more that were probably just a waste of brain real estate (that I could really use about now). Anyway, on The Electric Company there was one segment where two people spelled out words, like “ch” – “ange”…”change.” You get the idea. Here’s a clip:
Anyway, I thought it would be an interesting way to portray our last and current administrations. The paintings are acrylic on Arches Watercolor paper 15″ x 22.5″. In case you can’t tell by the silhouettes, the green one is Bush and Cheney, and the purple one is Obama and Biden.
