Henri-Georges Clouzot - “L’enfer” (lighting effect), 1964
Even though I don’t have the appropriate gear to pull it off, I really want to try out this lighting effect on the video I’m working on right now
Tonight… at Midnight
Little Debbie - Hypnotized
Here’s a video I made for one of my BFFs, Sergey Yashenko (aka. Little Debbie). T’was a rowdy shoot at windy Ocean Beach here in San Francisco. I had to edit out most of the depravity though, but someday I’ll release the “extras” as a remix or something. Looking forward to doing more videos soon soon…
Joseph Scheer - “Life Within Awareness”

“The Canadian artist has been working with honeybees to create incredible sculptures and drawings for over 20 years. The resulting pieces are swirling sculptural forms made up of honey comb, flat metal pieces worked over inside the hive, and even paper that bees have trekked across.”

“Jacobs’s dioramas provide peeks into a world in which reality is presented in such exquisite detail it begins to look surreal.
The artist draws from art history and garden pest control brochures alike to create miniature 3D works of art, viewed through a circular glass lens. Viewers get the impression that they are looking into another realm, simultaneously natural and constructed, familiar and unknown. In a way, we get a taste for a fish’s life from inside the bowl.”
I want some of these installed all over my apartment please.
The Shining - A Retrospective (2012)
I was going past LA on the way to Joshua Tree and stopped at the LACMA for a minute. It wasn’t until I was leaving that I realized they were having this very promising Stanley Kubrick retrospective, and I didn’t have time to check it out. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they bring the exhibit to San Francisco (probably wont happen though since the SF MoMa is closing for a couple years soon).
BUT… you can check out some images from it at Minimally Minimal
Eero Johannes - Worm 2
“Finnish illustration brilliance goes Dutch as Agent Pekka sets up Amsterdam office”
Eero Johanness - leisi elli
I love that feeling when you find a track by one of your favorite artists that you haven’t heard before. I got my hands on this Finnish graphic designer’s debut LP when I was a music director at KUSF years ago and have been eagerly awaiting anything else by him. Though this is not from a new release, it’s featured on a “Skwee” compilation called International Skwee. More info here.
