I got to see some of Meggs‘ work in person during POW WOW 2013 and then he just opened a great solo show at Thinkspace here in LA too, so it’s nice to get a little extra insight into the Australian artist’s work via my former employers, The Hundreds. [Watch Video]
Finally made it back to LACMA today to check out the Stanley Kubrick retrospective. It’s so good! Well worth the trip to Mid-Wilshire. It’s really interesting to see all of his movies presented at once, and to get so much insight into the making of his masterpieces.
It’s great to see some nice video content from my old friends Andrew and Johan at 3sixteen again. This day-in-the-life is shot really well, and follows the two talented denim experts as they spend time in SF for their latest denim production. Andrew also manages the NY branch of Self Edge while Johan manages the LA location.
