It’s that time of year again. Peanut Butter Wolf spinning 9 straight nights from Sept 1st up to Sept 9, 2009. 9 nights in 9 different area codes, playing all 90′s music.
hehe, i like this one too.
Mike Shinoda was interviewed by Roger Gastman. It was a real intimate setting, yet MS tried his best lay down the basics in terms of his background and where he comes and how he got to where he is in his art.
He was born in last year’s exhibit and meets his death at this year’s. This casket is MS’s first non-canvas installation, i believe? I might be incorrect.
MS walked the audience through the exhibit, which I thought was very nice. That girl clutching the skate deck looks ecstatic.
I thoroughly enjoyed this assignment. It’s not everyday the artist dedicates himself to help the public understand his work. It is when people like Mike Shinoda produces something that expresses an idea and shares it to inspire more creative thinking is when one is called a true artist(imho). That second part is really important, I’ve met many artists who just leave their work as is, in a ‘take it or leave it’ sort of way. Sometimes that could be cool, but it’s even cooler when an artist tries to make his art open for interpretation in an inclusive way.
these are brazilets, the cool new bracelets that help you wear your wishes around your wrists. we got a new batch of these at work today. but u know what’s cooler?!
Bright colors were confined into the shape of a square. Yet these squares of different colors were splattered all over the walls and echoed the repetitive squares of the canvases…The multicolored type also went along with a similar, playful theme against photographs depicting serious, real life issues.
Wasn’t sure if this display at the front gallery was by Eine as well, but the shapes and patterns were very interesting.

I visited the Carmichael Gallery last week for the opening of their “Get Rich Quick” show. There were some big names exhibited like Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Antony Micallef, David Choe, KAWS, etc. Pretty impressive lineup, but I also thought the solo exhibition at the same gallery by Brazil based artist Thais Beltrame was so beautiful.
Titled “When All The Stars Are Gone”, her works explore the vastness yet emptiness of the dead sky and the perceptive children who develop an understanding of the world and of themselves through it.
I’m partial to work made with ink and watercolor, it’s definitely my two of my favorite mediums. Something about the delicate fine lines of ink and the translucent qualities of watercolor that can really bring out an artist’s talent..i love it.

“When All The Stars Are Gone” will be on view at the Carmichael Gallery in Los Angeles until May 28th.
