Can you find me?

"X Marks the Box" + Footage

This morning, the mailman - aka, future trumpet player for the band "Mi Corazon" - walked up to my porch and left somewhat of a mystery box behind for me to be boggled by. I have no idea who sent this to me. I've tried handwriting analysis, secret coded messages, google maps, and straight up tearing the box apart. No clue whatsoever. If you sent me this, let me know so I know who to thank.
Here's what I DO know:
1. There are short, white, dog hairs in the lacquer coating, so this person probably has a white dog.
2. There is a long brown hair behind the coating as well, so whoever it is has long (10"-14") hair.
3. The word "FISHERIES" has been altered to say, "FISHIES" - which doesn't give me any clues, I just think that's hilarious.
4. A pencil-drawn bunny eating a blue easter egg with a spoon and fork is also hilarious.
5. When I googled the address, I was directed to a Yoga Instructor... Hmmmm.



Franks at the Echo + Fotos

You must be so tired of hearing about the Franks by now. That's because you're an idiot. If you haven't checked them out yet, go check out their myspace page, and look out for shows. Upcoming Franks show at Sterling and my joined birthday party on the 17th of May. Finn'a to be off the wall.

Do Work

I've had this idea to match the top of frame with the bottom of frame in two different layers of video for quite some time now, and finally did a ten second test with Sterling yesterday. Imagine the possibilities. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check this out. I've written this out as an entire story for some sort of music video, and I guess, it's going to be harder than I thought. It doesn't match up all the time, but I kinda like that. I'm not one to preemptively give away my ideas, but this just seemed like something y'all would be interested in.

Happy Birthday Hannah!

Parisienne People

Like it or not, cigarettes are cool. If you don't think so, check out these old commercials that were done for Parisienne People cigarettes - which I have never even heard of. From what I've gathered, P.P. (not that P.P.) cigarettes let the directors do whatever they wanted. They didn't even have to mention smoking, or the brand name in the commercial. Brilliant. So now check out what David Lynch, the Cohen brothers, Polanski, Godard, and more had to say on the subject.

Kung Wu Rap + Footage

Sterling wouldn't let on unless it played in the car, or he saw a Wu tat on someone, but this kid loves Wu Tang. Exhibit A: GZA Liquid Swords. (wasted son)

300 + Footage

So Jeremy and I watched 300. It was pretty funny. Well, I mean good. You know. It was amusing. Jeremy tends to disagree with me about film...




Thanks Jeremy.

Game of Skate + Footage

Playing Skate, or Horse, or whatever has been the standard for judging who is the best since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. In middle school, we used to just sit outside and challenge each other to games of skate to see who was the best in the school. Sterling and I play for a different reason, to get much needed exercise, deal with frustration of life, and get better at skateboarding... In no way do we have any competition between us. We just play for fun. I want to make it very clear that we just do it for fun, and not to see who's the best. I mean, who cares about that kind of stuff anyway..

Like Derr + Footage

Some old video I found on a tape from when Jeremy was still with us. May he rest in peace.

Grand Array

I like to surround myself with people who inspire me to the point of pissing me off. When my brother would make a website that I couldn't understand how it was done, or how he got it to do what it was doing, I was just pissed. When I go to art shows, I'm usually looking at and judging the way that the person did their work, and to some extent, asking myself if I think I could have done that. Let's just put it this way. Grand Array pisses me off.

Hannah Stouffer came up this last weekend to open her new show. Check out the website, you'll see she doesn't have any trouble getting work. She's having an art show in Long Beach for the next month, and then one up in LA coming up. Really sick stuff. Go check it out. I liked it enough to get it tattooed on me, so I guess you could say that if you don't like it, then stop asking for me to take my shirt off (LC).

Here's a flickr set of the show. Enjoy.

Jeremy Cleans + Footage

When Jeremy took off, he did it very quickly. So quick, in fact, that he posted this blog two days into the future.

Another Day in the Hood + Footage

Another day in the hood indeed. Sterling got an Anti Hero Pew 40-cover. Now he can drink at the spots. Shortly after this was filmed, I found 6 Hollow-Point rounds for a 38 caliber revolver in the dryer rattling around. Sometimes I just take a deep breath and realize that even a trip to the washer could kill you. I guess that's just how my hood rolls. Enjoy.

Ashley's Dream + Footage

Going through old tapes, and found this gem. Ashley is talking about a dream she had where she killed some guy. You can't see anything, cause it's so dark, but I think it's still worth putting up. "I'm gonna cut your head off in three seconds." (Please don't kill me for putting this up Ashley.)

Animation - Evan Weinerman

The rumors you heard may in fact be true. Evan and I may in fact be working on some amazing, mindblowing, base-jumping, sky-diving, shark-swimming, mountain-luging projects.

Here's one he did by himself though.
