I picked up Souther Salazar's pieces for tonites show in the rain. On the way there, I saw 3 car accidents, one car was upside down on the 110. I saw some ambulances driving, and I finally get there. Souther looked dead, but the pieces look great. Amazing work. Of course, right? I'll just show you one for now. When I was leaving Souther said it, "Make it Real." I'll try.

Souther looked dead, but the pieces look great. Amazing work. Of course, right? I’ll just show you one for now. When I was leaving Souther said it, “Make it Real.” I’ll try.

Can’t just yet, but it’s bound to happen. Also want to say, welcome aboard to a last minute sponsor, Scion. Along with Imprint and the James Irvine Foundation, I guess we’re set. That’s one entrance.

Shot while driving on Sunset Blvd. Takashi Murakami's MOCA show is fast approaching and this is the first advertisement I've seen so far. This one is on it's way to Echo Park. If you drive by at the right time and the gate's up, you can actually see his exhibition being installed. I hear there's going to be two entrances, one for the young ones and one for adults. Wonder what's in the adult...
