A funny part of living in Los Angeles, sometimes the unexpected celebrities are the most interesting to spot...
Today I reached for the camera in the middle consule to get a couple snaps of the Tumbler Batmobile. I've seen it at trade shows before, but never in a day to day situation. It was being transported on a Warner Brothers truck, obviously.
Last night I was able to check out the preview of the ultra hyped "Life Is Beautiful" art show in Hollywood. It opens tonight and it should be a wild scene. For the preview a limited amount of works were shown, though I must see what they left out.
I was able to bring my camera without any problems...
Fusing Abe LIncoln and Barack Obama, this Ron English masterpiece is a partnership with SF's Upper Playground and FIFTY25SF. Only 200 printed, signed and number by English.

Big ups to Romes and the rest of the OBEY crew, as well as all the other artists...

New Hot Chip video for "One Pure Thought". Their videos are always visually fascinating to me and this take on pointillism is right up there with the rest.
