One of the nicer guys around, is Spencer Hansen. He’s from Idaho, lives in Oakland, and does a fashion line and makes these toys. I’m not sure if toys are the right word for it.

James Jean's pad is pretty cool especially when there's koi in a pond. What do you think of ponds? Are they relaxing, or are they a waste of time. I remember back in the day, ponds were more popular and these days there are less and less. The "too much trouble" line comes up a lot. If you don't know James Jean's work, then you should look him up, or wait a bit, and check him out later. His casa is...

Deharavath happened when I was out of town, but I did catch the install and talk to the artists, David Horvath of Uglydoll and Yukinori Dehara of Cakees! I shot this through my camera, and it ended up ok. I should have shot a lot more to make it more rounded, but in the end, I should be using a video camera, and doing it right. Maybe I can get some help on this eventually when I can find someone who wants to shoot stuff like this, or maybe I can have someone on staff shoot it. I think I need about 15 minutes of footage to pull something decent. I think I shot about 7 minutes total for this one. I used 5+ of it!
