This came in the mail. Amazing work. The print above has a bunch of colors, it’s designed with a lot of care, has that indie comic book, and a silkscreen style that feels like the Ft Thunder Paper Rad style. I’m not sure if it’s all by a collective or not, but I do know the efforts of many are in the publications below. Critical Citadel is in a larger edition, it’s nicely produced, and the cover text is a fun illusion that reminds me of something John Pham would do. Panayiotis and Ray. This is by Panayiotis Terzis & Raymond Sohn. It’s in edition of 100 and it’s silkscreen printed in tons of colors, it’s also black and white. This might be one of the nicer pieces to come through.

I’m back in South Africa again for the fourth time or is it fifth? Anyway, this time I’m here to show my parents the land I think is one of the most beautiful in the world and it seems they are enjoying it. We were on Safari for three days in the Timbavale private game reserve, a one hour flight from Johannesburg. We had an amazing time checking out out the animals at literally an arms distance away. The photo above is a fresh lion print left in the sand. Our guide Eric and tracker Philip found tons of lions for us amongst many other animals which I’ll post when I get back to HK. Check out how close we were to this lioness. The blue thing in the bottom right corner is my Mom’s shoulder. I think she almost shit herself as did I a couple times.Now we’re in Cape Town. It’s my first time here and I must say it’s nice. Kinda like San Francisco and Barcelona combined. This time I learned a bit more about aparteid which again I will blog more about when I get back. Next stop Lisa will join us and we’ll head out to her secret spot where we like “to get away from it all”. If you’ve seen The Heavenly Kings, it shows up in one of the last scenes in the film and is actually where I wrote the script for the flick.

After a lot of prodding, I feel like I've been forced to put up this post. But first, the Vietnamese food above was so amazing. That's bun, and the shrimp, meat, and eggroll. So good. It's a huge serving of food. I didn't think I can eat all of this, but as I kept putting a little onto my plate, it slowly disappeared and then went away.But the gross part that I've been told to post, and I...
After a lot of prodding, I feel like I’ve been forced to put up this post. But first, the Vietnamese food above was so amazing. That’s bun, and the shrimp, meat, and eggroll. So good. It’s a huge serving of food. I didn’t think I can eat all of this, but as I kept putting a little onto my plate, it slowly disappeared and then went away. But the gross part that I’ve been told to post, and I apologize ahead of time… but if you scroll down this gets gross. While I ate, the dog did doodies all over the place. From one moment of enjoying food, talking, relaxing, to terror…A walk to the bathroom, and a shriek of pain. Did an ankle twist? Is a “man” down? In this case NO. Soon the pain turned into laughs. A direct hit. The brightly tinted brown poo became stuck in the mits of her foot. Molded in between the toes, the agony of the upcoming clean up task began to loom. Toenail cutting, scrubbing, ruining a bar of soap, and then figuring out how it’s going to go down the tub drain preceded the carpet cleaning. As the trip to the bathroom began, another turd appeared as if by magic. Then another under the desk, and a 1/4 sizer elsewhere, which may be a dingle leftover, then a 1 foot diameter pee circle.

Does that look sparse? Maybe. But as it went, more came in, and it didn't feel like as many seats were empty. It's a wide angle lens illusion. The talk itself was a lot more thoughtful that thought provoking at least to me than most panel discussions I am on. At this point in my life, being on a panel is about giving something to the people who attending to take with them, rather then dazzling...
