Life.

Been thinkin' about joining the Peace Corps lately. It's the only thing I can think of that will satiate my travel appetite and my lust to do something good.

Do I want this?

With my birthday being about a month away, I'm really struggling trying to find something I need/want. Then I see kitschy stuff like this, and I think I need it. You can buy it here!

More Hello Kitty!

"True Self" this weekend

This Saturday, Oct. 24th, amongst the 10 other amazing art openings happening, this is the one I've been most looking forward to: The True Self exhibition, curated by Gary Baseman at the Jonathan Levine Gallery in NYC.

The participating artists include: Adam Wallacavage, Alex Prager, Amor Muñoz, Boris Hoppek, Christian Clayton, Cleon Peterson, Dalek, Dave Cooper, David Sandlin, Deedee Cheriel, Eric White, Esther Pearl Watson, Fons Schiedon, Frieda Gossett, Gary Taxali, Gary Baseman, Gerard Dubois, Gretchen Ryan, James Jean, Jonathon Rosen, Korin Faught, Lauren Bergman, Leah Hayes, Lola, The London Police, Luke Chueh, Marion Peck, Mark Ryden, Mark Todd, Martha Rich, Mike Shinoda, Miso, Natalia Fabia, Orly Cogan, Ray Caesar, Rob Clayton, Robin VanValkenburgh, Ron English, Ryan Heshka, Ryan Jacob Smith, Shag, Shannon Freshwater, Tim Biskup, Travis Lampe.

Here are just a few peeks of some of the pieces.

Never before seen Neverland

Check out these pics from Neverland pre-Michael.

"In 1982 real estate developer William Bone completed a sprawling residence—including a 13,000-square-foot main house—for himself and his family in California’s Santa Ynez Valley.

These pictures are of the residence as it was when Michael Jackson bought it from Bone in 1988, completely furnished, and just the way he lived in it for many years. Jackson named it Neverland, added some furniture and many paintings to the interior and transformed the grounds into his very own amusement park. Of course, the King of Pop also added a throne."

Hello Kitty x MIMOBOT

Here's another fantastic Hello Kitty collaboration. This one is very near and dear to me since I worked with Mimoco to write them :) The MIMOBOT pop-Up shop that's happening with Munky King, LA will have ALL of the HK Mimobots for sale!! Or, you can buy any one of the Hello Kitty MIMOBOTs here!

World's best ad

From an agency called The Foundry. I've always wanted to create an ad like this. Of course, Disney had them pull it already. Joy killers.

Blik x Joe Ledbetter

Check out these awesome wall graphics from Joe Ledbetter. I wish more artists did stuff like this. It's cheaper than framing a silkscreen print, and you can take them with you when you move! Love the collab. Buy them here!
