Long Beach People

Good buddy, fellow artist, and college graduate, Adam Sjoberg, recently did a rad little portrait project before leaving long beach and hitting the road again.  Here are some of my favorites – bias given to my fellow Bro Futurists… Click to enlarge… And here’s the photographer himself, milliseconds after a fluorescent light tube exploded over [...]

The Surf Rack (update)

I forgot to mention last time, but we had to cut off to arms of the surf rack to get it through the door at Shelter. Note to self: measure doorway before welding large metal sculpture. Or: make projects that can be disassembled, re-assembled. Anyways, I went down to Shelter on Friday night to weld [...]

Hobosoul Shirts

T-shirt graphic designed by Danny Simon for the Hobosoul.  If you want one of these Tshirts they are only $10 or $15 if you need me to ship it to you.  Super rad design, and it all benefits the Hobosoul to raise funds for their feature film. Hand screen printed by me in my garage.  [...]

China

I’m going to China in January on a business trip.  I’m visiting our manufacturing facilities in hopes to better educate myself as a product developer dude. Saw this today on ffffound: China is the worlds factory.

Bench seats

These could be cool inside the van.  Found at, duh, King Richards Fold ‘em up when not in use.  They would work nicely on a small porch or balcony too…

Time to cut it up…

Here are the 5′ x 5′ panels that we’ve been using for live art events for the past couple of months… I pulled them off the supports and I think I’m going to cut them into smaller panels for a new project. The below photo is what is left over from the We Love Long [...]

good thoughts…

“It’s not bad to own fine things that you like. What you need are things that you GENUINELY like. Things that you cherish, that enhance your existence in the world. The rest is dross. Do not “economize.” Please. That is not the point. The economy is clearly insane. Even its champions are terrified by it [...]

New Books

I found these book yesterday at King Richards antique mall.  I liked the art and idea behind both of these books. They were both written in 1940′s and they give an interesting depiction who God is and what the Church is.  Plus, the drawings are rad! What would you say if someone asked you to [...]

Plug your ears and shout Lla lahalala la lah

If you have time, watch this video below.  This guy, Peter Schiff, accurately predicts the recession and exactly how it’s going to happen back in 2006.  It’s seriously unbelievable that he was treated like a nutcase for the things that he was saying.  Literally, the other guys in suits are laughing at his face.  Guarantee [...]

Treasure Hunting

Saw this rad chair today.  I’ve never seen one exactly like this before.  It is really comfortable too.  I think that if a chair has the angles, contours, flex, and rigidity in all the right places than it could be made of the harshest materials possible and still be comfortable.  It’s also interesting to note [...]
