Sawtelle PeopleIf you’re out on Sawtelle Blvd, here’s some people you’ll see. This is in front of Safe and Save Market, the hub of the area – in my opinion. Christian. From what I can tell, he’s the tough one. Wait both of these kids are tough… He’s younger. I think! The brothers are a year apart, and I guess I can only be 50% right. Is he racking that bottle of Gatorade? Jalen? Almost a sci-fi ish name, maybe something like Planet of the Apes Galen… but then again, think about Jalen Rose – one of the Fab 5. I should ask about where that name came from. If it’s Jalen Rose, then shit… This kid has to be tough. After looking at the pics, I dunno which is which anymore. But what ever he has in the bag must be good. See them on their bikes cruising around. That’s Dee. Mommy dearest. She’s usually camera shy, but I caught her. She works at Mizu 212 (the high priced shabu shabu joint) sometimes, and the steam from the pots is probably good for the complexion. The oils might not be, but that’s part of the restaurant game. Big tips, stinky clothing.

RISD grad student open studio. This happens once a year, and I hear the undergrads might even be better. But here’s some images and thoughts of what I saw. Smash up derby painting. I think this was my favorite single work. The guy who’s completely white… is this painting finished? This reminded me of Aliens. Jacob Goble paints red people and smash up derbys. Blade was good too. I thought that was a fake name, but this kid is good. I was on the fence on this. These works look good together, but alone? I’m not quite sure. This is a great collection of paint. studios can be messy but this person wasn’t. Stylish studio. This was probably the nicest studio. Maybe it’s the lamps. See the page in the upper middle? That a GR page! This looks like one of the many studios. Colorful, messy, but full of energy. Awesome mugs. King of patterns. This person’s work looked good. Overall, I didn’t see everything, but I did like the painting floors the best. Wish there was more of that.
