This is kind of meta. A print called “The Artist” by Jeff Soto, the artist. So, a self-portrait of sorts, arguably, although I don’t see the resemblance, personally. I can speak from personal experience when I say if you don’t invest in one of your very own, you will regret it eventually. Lands at Prints on Wood this Thursday at noon.
I got to interview LA-based artist Ken Garduno for my day gig at Imprint Culture Lab today. Shout out to Fred Guerrero for the introduction! #burgerlords
I got to meet Yue Wu while out in Hawaii for POW WOW 2013. He noticed my Becomb watch and mentioned that he’d worked with Levi Maestro too. Small world. Jeff Hamada just posted this fun video about Yue and his great work over on Booooooom. [Watch Video]
Here’s a video from LRG about talented Australian artist couple DabsMyla who have relocated to Los Angeles. I’ve been lucky enough to see them paint in Long Beach (during Agenda) and in Hawaii (during POW WOW). Via Booooooom.
Benjie just added the Black Basic T to his Stay Weird Forever online shop. Now you don’t have to work out in order to rep the SWF! And in almost-semi-related news, Jeff Hamada of Booooooom fame was kind enough to post the Burgerlords tee Benjie did for the homies at LA burger hotspot The Oinkster on his Instagram yesterday.
I got to meet Hawaii-based artist Kamea Hadar during POW WOW 2013. He’s actually the Lead Director of the event and he and his family built the incredible Utopium house which houses the artists for the duration each year. Listen to Kamea describe how Pow Wow came together with Jasper Wong and the help of local entrepreneurs like Tiffany Tanaka of Fresh Cafe. Lots of insight about a really great event to be absorbed here. Via TEDxMaui. [Watch Video]
