This makes me want to travel again


Here is a little how-to video on earning that worn denim look that was so popular in the late 90's. I remember, during my more impressionable years, really going for this look in all the wrong ways. That was post Jinco Jean and Starter Jackets.

There is some amazing imagery in this little video but WARNING at times it is seizure inducing.

Lost the Great Hopper


Dennis Hopper past away today May 29th 2010 of cancer. The great actor started out co-staring with James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause and had an amazing career being a Hollywood bad ass. Easy Rider and Blue Velvet have just moved to the top of my rewatch list and if I still have a bootleg copy of the unreleased film "The Trip", written by Hopper, I will be watching that as well.

Life Mag has a photo album spanning Hoppers life, including the photo above. Take a look, get inspired, watch "The Trip" if you can find it.

I am back!


Well, I never went anywhere, I just took a month off to finish school and relax. Now that I am down to one 3 week class and a new venture in the works helping friends Zach Snow and Geoff Lemond (and the others). Big fun and exciting things are happening and I will be updating again.

First things first. My friends Miles and Katinka and their fellow Jerome fellowship winner Justin are showing the culmination of their year of work at High Point Center for Printmaking! Big things from these guys, follow the High Point Link for more and come to the show.
