Saturday night was the Girl Skateboards Art Dump show “Make The Logo Wooden” at The Little Bird Gallery in Atwater village. It was a pretty small show with small mixed media works. Here are a few shots: (more…)

Weekend Wrapup: Girl Art Dump, Waterfalls & Cleon Peterson
Monday, April 27th, 2009Busy P’s Birthday
Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009
Since you can’t just come back from 4 days out at Coachella and go straight back to work, we decided to attend Busy P’s birthday party at Pierre Andre’s (Etnies) Malibu estate. The view was ridiculous; cliff front at Point Dume. We took the very expensive key ($1,500 fine to replace) and went down to the private beach to surf, but the lack of swell meant we mostly just floated around (there was a pod of dolphins playing right by us, so that was cool).
Coachella 2009
Monday, April 20th, 2009This weekend was pretty nice. Got to hang with a bunch of good friends and did some amazing people watching. Here are a few photos from the Coachella Music Festival, as well as the party at the Anthem Magazine Ranch. This year started out not quite as hot as years past, however, by Sunday it was in the low 100′s and was crazy hot. I only had tickets for Sunday, so I got a chance to catch a bit of Sebastien Tellier, Busy P, Lykke Li, Peter Bjorn & John, Antony & the Johnsons (who ended 15 minutes early so I missed most of it), Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Public Enemy (who played the whole Nation of Millions album…insane), My Blood Valentine (aka the loudest band in the world) and the Cure. The Anthem party was pretty much madness.
Parra Exhibit @ HVW8: 04.04.09
Wednesday, April 8th, 2009
Last Friday we went and checked out Parra’s show at the HVW8 gallery. It was a cool show and a nice turnout. Parra has started to work on canvases, which is nice to see. He’s also doing screen prints of his poster work in addition to the Gicleé prints he has done in the past. I really prefer screen prints over digital prints as it just seems to lend more of a fine art feel to the work. Digital prints just feel so transitory. (more…)
New Website Launch
Friday, March 27th, 2009This is the official launch of the new Comfy Chair Creative Superstore website. Check out the featured portfolio, the DJ mixtape free downloads, or just cruise around and soak up the radness. Please leave comments on the news blog if you see anything that you like, or send a link to your friends or colleagues if you think they would be interested. I’d like to send a big thanks to Steve at 35mm Design who handled all the site development. Please stop by occasionally as the site will be updated with new works as they come in, and a store will be coming soon (please keep in mind that “soon” is a subjective term). Cheers!

DFA Party Flyer
Thursday, January 8th, 2009
I just finished this flyer for a party Scion is throwing with DFA next week. I’m not sure what a mango has to do with The Juan MacLean, but that was one tasty piece of fruit. Unfortunately they changed the lineup last minute after everything was approved and went to press. The new lineup features a live performance by Yatch and dj sets by TNT (Tim Goldsworthy and Tim Sweeney) as well as The Juan MacLean. It’s going to be a good show, Thursday, Jan. 15th at the Roxy. You can RSVP for the party HERE.
Weekend Art Shows : SEPT 5 & 6
Monday, September 8th, 2008I hit a few art shows this weekend. Friday was a small show that my friend Amber from Busy-Being helped put on at Fresh Pressed (a new retail screenprint shop in Silverlake). There was a small selection of original art and signed prints from Andy Mueller, Kime Buzzelli, Sean Cassidy, Rory Wilson and Frohawk Two Feathers, as well as the opportunity to make your own prints using screens from these artists. We’ll have to keep an eye on this space and see what it does next.
Saturday was a huge night for art shows. I had to pick a couple to go to and forget about the rest. I hit the first show at the new Roberts & Tilton Gallery. The show, entitled Macrocosm, had work by artists: Ed Templeton, Barry McGee, Matt Leines, Jimmy Baker, Delphine Courtillot, Noah Davis, Jeremy Everett, Eberhard Havekost, Adam Janes, Titus Kaphar, Thomas Kiesewetter, Becca Mann, Faris McReynolds, Ellen De Meutter, Adam Pendleton, Peter Rogiers, Andrew Schoultz, Kehinde Wiley, and Ai Yamaguchi. Ed’s wall of kissing teens was nice and the huge portrait by Kehinde Wiley was the definite standout. I also really love the precision and detail of Matt Leines work.
Lynch Book Signing : 07.31.08
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008
I went with some friends to a David Lynch book signing / Q&A thing that was hosted by Design Within Reach over in Hollywood the other day. Lynch mostly talked about transcendental meditation. It sounds like one of those things that, if it really works, would be awesome; a great way to tap into creativity and peace. However, it’s also one of those things that sounds suspiciously bogus. Anyway, I’ll use this opportunity to post a more developed drawing of Mr. Lynch based on an earlier sketch (which you can find below on this blog). I think I like the quick sketch better than this more final illustration though. It’s funny sometimes how when you try to draw something well and take a lot of time with it, sometimes it’s just not as “good” as when you just don’t really care too much and try to make something quickly.
ADIDAS DJ Instore 4.19.08
Friday, April 18th, 2008
I’m going to be DJing on Saturday the 19th with my friend Jed. It’s at the Adidas Original store on Melrose in LA from Noon to 4pm. I am considering adapting a new moniker. Bobby London. There is a Korean bar/club or something not too far from my house called Bobby London’s. It has struck me for some reason.
HUG LIFE : 4.14.08
Monday, April 14th, 2008
Haven’t been drawing much lately. I don’t have my studio setup, so it’s a bit tough doing “art.” I went to LACMA on Sunday to try to get out of the heat a bit. A nice big air conditioned museum was a nice place to hide out from the 100 degree weather here in LA this weekend. The contemporary exhibit in the BCAM wing was really good. They’ve got some nice Lichtensteins, Warhols, Basquiats, Ruschas, Twomblys, koons, etc…
There was also a pretty cool exhibit of Chicano art. This guy, Julio Cesar Morales had some cool watercolors of illegal aliens smuggling in car seats, trunks, etc.I saw some “thug life” graffiti and something was blocking the “T” so it looked like “hug life.” Way to keep it positive Tupac…
