Getting Back to Doing It

Back in America. Still adjusting. Sleep rhythm all cocked up. Can’t seem to find a night swap meet anywhere, here. Feeling rice deficient and craving hot dogs way, way too much. Anyways. There’s always something to do.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre @ Roof of School House Structure. I’m recommending this classic, [...]

Jocelyn Foye’s Roller Derby Project, Take Two

About a month ago I shot Jocelyn Foye’s first Roller Derby Project, the results of which are currently on display at Angels Gate in the show New In Town. You can read all about that shoot here. Joceyln wanted to try another take on the project, a version that was more focused on [...]

Street Art in Bang Saen, Thailand

I spent 90% of my time in Thailand in Bang Saen, mostly in the neighborhoods along Long Hard Bang Saen Road, between the main coastal highway and Burapha University. Being a college town I expected to see some street art, and I did find it, but not much. On my last trip to [...]

Sato Jun Ichi – Floodgates

The crew at Pink Tentacle have blogged fourth another must see. Sato Jun Ichi has been photographing Japan’s flood control infrastructure since the mid-90′s. His website has an astounding collection of hundreds of images from this series (arranged in sequential sets), and he has also published a book of images from this series.

The Return of Grace Jones

Just found out that Jones has a new album, Hurricane, coming out, her first in far, far too long. If she tours the states, I’m going to follow her around from city to city like a couture Deadhead. Above is the very “retro early 90′s” maybe “retro cyberpunk” video for Corporate Criminal, a [...]

Your Moment of Coin-Op, Robotic Salvation

So, after a long day of sightseeing, rain dodging and chow eating, fellow artist Ian Song and I wander up to the Goddess of Mercy shrine on Ko Loy, a tiny island linked to Siracha (home of the sauce!) by a causeway, and we see a fellow standing in front of the above, [...]

Self Help Graphics Building Sold

The Church has sold the building out from under Self Help, and they have to be out by December. This is a real shame, a holy shame. I can’t begin to state the importance of the work of Sister Karen and her legacy in Los Angeles. So many artists trained with her, were inspired [...]

LAAGAFBLA08

I’m too dazed from eating those Thai danger dogs right now to do anything other than just be an echo here, for what will certainly be the greatest art event to ever take place during recorded time. The LA Art Girls and Phantom Galleries are presenting the LA Art Girls Art Fair Biennale Los [...]

In Which I Discover the Thai Danger Dog!

I suppose it’s no surprise, that in what must be the center of the street food universe, I discover the Thai version of the danger dog, a quadruple threat of bacon wrapped beauty. All this within minutes walk from my room in the Dr. Sanoh Unakoon Condominium at Burapha University. The school year [...]

Too Tired

I wish I was young like this guy, that I met on Monkey Mountain here in Bang Saen. I’m feeling both old and tired today. It’s hot, and I have a gazillion photos to process and things to say, but I need a nap. So I guess I’m just sharing some monkey action [...]
