The Wedge in Newport/Balboa was reported to be showing off some 25footers on Friday.. I went on Saturday and saw some waves on the sets break’n at 15feet.. (I knew I should have brought my board..) There were only about a hand full of people in the water and hundreds on shore watching the Wedge […]

Oliver Peoples did it again.. When I thought they had already made the perfect of Loc’s last year(Matte Black-Robert Evans).. They did it again, this one is just a tad bigger for a touch more gangster-ness.. Looking for the illest pair of Loc’s?  Look no further, these bad boy’s are hand made in Japan, in […]

Every time I go to Hong Kong I have to stop by this place called Little Sheep.  It’s the OG shabu-shabu (from China).. When you walk in to the restaurant it smells of spices and curry.. You can order the half and half broth base.  On one side  it’s like salty chicken soup,  and the other […]

Besides the classic cars and great weather, there is another reason to like Southern California.. Most everyone can have their own garden.. This is Mr. Kling’s garden… Mr. Kling is one bad ass dude. A man’s man, and a veteran of war.. Anyone that knows Mr. Kling knows he’s cut from a different cloth, part scientist, […]

Brooklyn Bridge one of the most stunning bridges to walk…

I’m really into Jose Parla’s (aka ease) work.. I think it strikes a cord in me cuz of the graff/street background.. Jose has successfully honed that flavor into the white-box art world.  His work is always an inspiration… I could only hope one day to own a small scribble of Jose Parla’s work.. Between the […]

On set of BoA’s new music video..  Baggy pants, diamonds glued to her face, and the side of her head in corn rows…..uuuuhuh.. Shorty can dance…

Got a nice package from me hermano Tony Arcabascio, OG ny head and founding member of Alife (who’s on to bigger things these days).  Tony’s a true artist at heart.

A weird thing that I do since I started traveling for work is I try to hold on to my airplane boarding passes.  I haven’t been able to hold on to them all but here’s a good sign of what ten plus years and a million miles looks like (I have more boarding passes).
