sweet love

I know M already talked about Jeff Lemire on her blog - but I think he needs to be mentioned again. If you aren't reading Sweet Tooth go out and get the first two issues. {Issue #3 comes out next week on the 4th.} While you are at the comic store get Essex County. You will not be sorry. He's a little bit of magic.

Krank Press at Theodore Payne

Finally an excuse to post about my friend Elinor's amazing letterpress work. Krank Press will be at Theodore Payne's Fall Festival this Saturday October 17.

You can pick up some awesome treats like her produce calendar:

or her odd birds prints:

if you can't make the sale you can always get her wares on etsy.

This Thursday... Barn Salon #2

If you weren't on the distribution list for the last one, here's your chance to get in on the good times...

This Thursday in Silverlake, Barn Salon is hosting their second event. The upcoming installment promises an evening of short films curated by Cole Akers, plentiful amounts of beer and better people watching than a Wes Anderson Fan Club meeting.

This coming Thursday, October 15th at 7:30pm

event today - Sejima@UCLA

Kazuyo Sejima, co-principal of Tokyo-based SANAA, designer of the Glass Pavilion at the Toldeo Museum of Art, the New Museum in New York, and this year's Serpentine Pavilion, will be lecturing at UCLA tonight. She rarely lectures and this is a great opportunity to see their work. Live.

a BIG disclaimer

Already on blog post #3 we start to wonder if a blog was a bad idea?

We want to take this time to say a few things before this blog really gets going.

The people who write this or contribute to it are not "professionals".

They are a bunch of artists that M. suckered. A small group of people:

who think to much

speak to fast

drink to much coffee

on occasion drink to much at Happy Hour

make doodles,prints, paintings

think short films are the way of the future

are heavily influenced by:

music,books, films,people, art,pianos,

accordions,tap dancing,bad jokes

puppets

gadgets,computers

designs, bikes, trains, walking

laughing,food, friends,family

life and are

way to opinionated.

Forgive us.

There will be times when the writings on this blog will be a chaotic mess

with bad grammar and spelling. Other times it will be like Salinger and Dylan formed a love child and that child is writing you a love poem. Most times though it will be a few lines and links of things we like and thing you will too.
