So you can see some of my work on La Brea right now. Earlier this year I was asked to write curatorial text, contextualizing the Boneyards project, a partnership between LA-based streetwear company Stüssy and Japan based brand Neighborhood. Other than the concept that my writing would appear in a newspaper-like publication cataloging the collection, I really had no idea what was going to be done with it. So after a lot of writing and revisions and a very cool day tagging along and shadowing a pile of interviews with the various tattoo artists who did designs for the collection, there was a launch party Friday night, where I was pleasantly surprised that not only was my text really amazingly incorporated into the newspaper, but that a huge chunk of it was transcribed in gangster style text on the entire frontage of the building (at top). The building is at 144 La Brea, directly adjacent to Fahey/Klein.

above - Spiked and slightly deformed hot dogs, part of the whole free carnival chow action. There’s something a little disturbing about the way they plump and swell, isn’t there.

For those into more party shots, Quality Control posted a stack over at Hypebeast.
