Ryan McGinness has been drinking some special water. He’s been in and in and in. This is his new book on the Rizzoli label. All this came via a Ryan package just yesterday. The book is amazing. That’s all there is to it. He puts forth a lot of effort to make his books and this is a fine example. I think this is book number 13 or 14 by Ryan on my shelf. Did you know in Japan, in many circles of folks who he doesn’t know, he is known as just “Ryan”? He has an exhibition at Deitch it NYC called Works. It starts very soon. March 7th. I got a handful of posters. They’re always huge! And then there’s this. A special book. It’s filled with things that he’s made. It’s fun to look at. It’s amazing how Ryan can resurface and raise a lot of havoc, then disappear, re group, re work his work, and then come back, over and over and over. Here’s another blog post on Ryan I did a while ago. Here’s Ryan’s site.

There's two sides of the family, and although everyone's cordial, no one really knows who the other folks are. Yet, everyone smiles at each other.I thought these candies were quite funny.

I saved up some food pictures. My only female cousin on my mother’s side is married with a kid. Sophia is 1 years old. Sophia is half Japanese and half Korean. There’s two sides of the family, and although everyone’s cordial, no one really knows who the other folks are. Yet, everyone smiles at each other. I thought these candies were quite funny. I don’t think I’d dare eat these, ever, so I didn’t take one of these with me. Sometimes, simple family events are cool, especially when it makes everyone happy even for a while. Are these real m&ms? I have to figure out where to get these made. Tortilla Grill. It’s on Abbot Kinney Blvd in Venice. I don’t go there often, but when I do, it’s pretty good. That’s a chicken and fish taco. It’s Westside Mexican food, but it works well. This is a fish salad. It comes in a tostada bowl. This is real Mexican food, right? The bowl is better than the chips, which were stale. Underneath is black beans. Get the agua frescas if you check this place out. Sam Woo shrimp dumpling noodle. It’s simple and good. I think this works as comfort food. For those of you in Asia, don’t laugh at me, this is the best we can get.

It's nice to see music videos once in a while, and instead of MTV, it's now an online quantity. I've mentioned Death Cab for Cutie before a while ago. Nick Harmer has always been great to us. Here's that post.
here's the link to the new Death Cab Video. It's animated and interesting.
