Slush, Stella, soda

Had slush on Sawtelle with Stella Lai this afternoon. She got lychee, almond jello, and rainbow jelly, and I got lychee, almond jello, and lemon jelly. They were out of mochi. Yeah, we're wusses who can't hang with the hardcore red beans, buckwheat, and whatnot... The artist from Hong Kong gave me the scoop on her recent trip to the HK Art Fair (meh) and her bracing for upcoming showings in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Hawaii, and the Giant Robot Biennale! In return, I told her about Eloise and ongoing GR deadlines. Does that sound like a fair trade?


What's that in Stella's hand? It's her contribution to a series of Pepsi cans designed by various international artists. You can tell by the logo that the project took place before the brand's reboot, but apparently it's still out there. A friend of hers recently spotted the cans at Heathrow Airport. Happy hunting!
