At Fred Segal in Santa Monica is the debuting of the Damien Hirst $ Warhol $ Levi's collab gear. I wouldn't normally jump at seeing this, but I get a different perspective riding with Dr Romanelli, since he's involved in apparel, sometimes hardcore designer style and sometimes artistic. See that box on the left, when you buy some denim, it comes in the box.

At Fred Segal in Santa Monica is the debuting of the Damien Hirst $ Warhol $ Levi’s collab gear. I wouldn’t normally jump at seeing this, but I get a different perspective riding with Dr Romanelli, since he’s involved in apparel, sometimes hardcore designer style and sometimes artistic. See that box on the left, when you buy some denim, it comes in the box. These are the special jeans, one of two. $80k. The other one is below. DR is about get one. Yosi Evolutionary eating dessert that looked good. A whole line of gear. The Levi’s jacket in gloss, and the denim to the right. See the Warhol tag on the jacket? T shirts. Two of them, they are stitched together, thankfully. “Extra…” say it like the prime time celebrity TV half hour show… Here’s some of Hirst’s art. You can see how it was used with the Warhol and the Levi’s.

Got my hands on the David Choe documentary, Dirty Hands, and yes, it's worth the five year wait. Five years?! At least. That's how much footage, and editing time that's gone into this work. I think there's been a producer or two, and from the earlier trailers until now, this has a very different feel. It went from what seemed like an MTV project perfect for the Real World to now being a lot more...
Got my hands on the David Choe documentary, Dirty Hands, and yes, it’s worth the five year wait. Five years?! At least. That’s how much footage, and editing time that’s gone into this work. I think there’s been a producer or two, and from the earlier trailers until now, this has a very different feel. It went from what seemed like an MTV project perfect for the Real World to now being a lot more fun and real. Harry Kim puts it together with tons of footage from all over the world. He’s been following David for years. It covers his story from the days before I met him which was in maybe 1997. It’s been a while, and somehow there’s photos and footage from that period of time. What does this mean for Harry? His technique, choices of edits, how things are arranged, and the bits of filmmaking technique puts him on the map. Yes, you’d think Harry is Dave’s sidekick, but with this you gotta look at him as being a guy who can put together a production, and do a good job with it. It has drama that goes up and down in different parts of the doc, from going to Africa, to prison, and much more. It contains a ton of interviews and imagery that keeps this pic moving. It’s going to be a hot one and people are going to love this. The thing is, I know David, and what you don’t see and won’t get to know, is fodder for the next doc or story when you talk to him. I won’t give away too much, since you need to get somewhere and see this when it comes out. This is an early sneak peek. There’s funny parts, and this is one of them. That’s David’s dad, he’s proud of him.

Art show at Patagonia? Sure why not. Shops are doing it these days, and that doesn't exclude a shop as large as Patagonia. How would it work? The art is by Kitty Botke, Jeremy Collins, Chris DelMoro, Peter McBride, Nikki McClure, Geoff McFetridge, Jason Munn, Jason Stowell. Patagonia has the power to actually make this work, even without a real art space. How? Easels, small wall space, but...
