The latest from David Rees and 23/6. I’m predicting an increase in sales (or thefts/lootings) of mattresses with built in safes and hidey-holes.
And like a fine meal needs a proper wine, I just got the image below sent to me by the always right and ever awesome Douglas McCulloh, who calls [...]
I’m having trouble with WordPress, so I’ll keep this brief.

Bonnie and Clyde @ The Silent Movie Theatre. Part of the Cinefamily’s Beatty in the 1960′s series, their descriptor for this film literally divides Post-WWII Hollywood into two periods “before Bonnie and Clyde and After.” If that wasn’t enough, this [...]
Last Friday, I attended Mare Serenitatis at the Aratani Theatre at the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center, part of the World Festival of Sacred Music. I was working during the performance, but I watched the final rehearsal from the wings of the stage.

In Black and White goes kaput at 2pm this Friday. That’s all folks.
The artist talk last week went really well. I’m always a little (or very) nervous before that kind of thing, since you have no idea if anyone is going to be interested in the work, if they’re going to take [...]
While TIME’s Richard Lacayo won’t cover the Hirst’s Southeby’s auction, the NY Times’ Carol Vogel sure will.
