“Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity.”
– Will Smith
Trying this again and I’m pretty happy about it.
It’s been a while, but I wanna try and get back at it slowly but surely. It’s feeling like the timing is right. Was in need of a litte motivation and conveniently found it in this song:

(pocket pillow for nap, 2011)
Working patterns are constantly evolving. We gradually spend more time in our working environments, and this in turn means that we often need to make work and rest fully compatible within the same space. Some cultures have assimilated this concept more naturally than others, but in general the workplace has rarely adapted to this new working-resting...

Holy EFF. How am i just hearing about Millie Brown now?
Millie Brown is a vomit artist. She vomits colored milk on canvas as well as on Lady Gaga. Last July she created an art collaboration piece with two opera singers called Nexus Vomitus, of which the entire process was documented in an artsy video that you can see above. This video is not for the faint hearted....

How the NBA Time Travel Commercials are made:
Though it wasn’t too difficult to figure out that the all-encompassing answer of “computers” made the time travelers able to interact with the old footage of NBA stars, Dime Magazine posted a video revealing the specifics regarding how the time traveler commercials were created, using the commercial...

Wawaweewa! If you have dedicated a good ear to this commercial, then you know why I love it. Sometimes a commercial is great because it took a great deal of thought, sometimes it’s great because it took a lott’a guts. This one, took a whole lot of accent. And from that great idea, grew another-

Last week, I posted a mixtape by London artist, Shakka Crown, and mentioned that my sister had turned me on to music coming out of the UK. Not too long after, I came across this article talkin about British “Urban” music’s recent success in America. Def worth a read! The...
Quote of the Biweek by Robert Anson Heinlein
“Progress doesn’t come from early risers- progress is made by lazy men looking for easier ways to do things.”

Heinlein(1907-1988) was a popular and apparently highly influential American science fiction writer in his time. His most notable novel (to me, at least) being Starship Troopers(1959),...

As Japan continues to struggle to piece things back together, it has been interesting to see the many different/unexpected ways it is directly affecting people in all parts of the world. I don’t at all mean this in an insensitive or offensive way (and I dont at all mean that in an Alexandra Wallace sort of way), but it’s interesting because technology wasn’t exactly the first...

CLICK! the title or pic to download.
Been looking to the UK to fulfill much of my musical needs lately (thanks to my hipster sibster). And because I rarely get into something without knowing all I possibly can about it, I’ve been learning a lot about UKG and the evolution of Grime and all that good stuff that was completely foreign to me before now. Anyway, it’s interesting to see...

Been on a documentary trip lately…
and I’m thinking I wanna add something to the bucket list: make a documentary about something really unknown or obscure, like the street biennale in Sao Paulo or better yet competative free flight duration aeronautics (kinda looks like something my buddy, Juan, might have done in a past life- Berna knows what I’m talkin bout).

The Hardest Working Band in Show Biz
The Legendary: A Film About The Roots from Cam Be on Vimeo.
It’s been a tough couple years for The Roots- having become the house band on the Jimmy Fallon show. But they’ve proven to everyone that it was not the end of the line for them. The albums they’ve been able to produce since have had a classic feel and it seems that the band...

Contrary to what I had said in a previous post, goldfish don’t have a memory span of only 3 seconds. I started watchin this show called Will Work for Nuts where they try to get animals to do all these weird things, like get birds to...
WatchI’ve posted more than a couple time-lapse photography videos, from Coachella to Japan to Jonsi Live@The Wiltern. It might just be my short attention span, but I swear there’s something hypnotizing about these.

Inflated Ego? Jeff Koons Claims Exclusive Right to...
San Francisco gallery Park Life received a present from superstar artist Jeff Koons this Christmas: a cease-and-desist letter. The missive from Koons’s lawyers ordered the space’s art shop to stop selling and advertising a set of balloon-dog-themed bookends sold there, claiming that they violated the intellectual property of the artist’s iconic sculpture “Balloon...

Some older design work. I did the logo for this company, IQ Talent Partners, back in June 2009. Not too bad, not too bad! They asked me to incorporate a yin & yang symbol. I enjoyed playing with the negative space inside the Q.
WatchGhostBikes.org PSA, Directed by Christopher Hewitt
As the number of cyclists in Los Angeles continues to grow, it is great to see the prominence of bike advocacy groups growing with it. Advocacy can take many shapes and forms- and the ghost bike is one sad, yet powerful device taking a stand for safer streets. Started by San Francisco artist, Jo Slota, back in 2002, each ghost bike is a memorial...
