Human.

I'm not sure how old this is, but I kind of dig it.



(Ari Gold vs The Human League vs Pierre et Gilles [erm, Aaron Cobbett]!)

Cute or Creepy.

Well, maybe a little bit of both. No -- actually A LOT of both. LOL. Just an addendum to yesterday's post about my visit to the Murakami exhibit at the MOCA. Since no pictures were allowed to be taken, here's a link I found that shows the entire exhibit taken during the opening gala event. All I can say is, "Wow!" You really have got to see it to believe it.

Going ....

somewhere ... figuratively speaking! I haven't blogged in a while. Nothing much going on really. Just work and getting by. Today was the first time in a long while where I was able to do some 'touristy' stuff in LA. I went to see the Murakami exhibit at the MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) in the morning and then to the Griffith Observatory later in the afternoon with a coworker. Pictures available in my Flickr stream. In keeping with the Japanese theme of the day, I ended up having dinner at a ramen noodle house in Gardena. Fancy, huh? LOL.

A new hobby.

I just bought me a new digital camera this past weekend. Nothing special -- just a 6 megapixel HP dohickey. Take a look at my Flickr photostream to see some things I've been taking at the beach and then some. After my initial photography education back in college (ahem in the late '80's), I haven't really used a camera for the sake of taking "artistic" photos in any sense. Maybe this will turn into a new creative outlet for me.

Lost in the picture.

I've totally missed out on the Lost bandwagon. I guess back when it first came on, I just wasn't into watching television. [Nowadays it's all about HEROES for me.] In anycase, the commercial above was originally posted on the photographer David LaChapelle's website. It's fabulous! The soundtrack by Portishead is a hauntingly perfect match.

I think I was first introduced to his work back in '94 with the Diesel ad of the 2 sailors kissing at port. His portraits are highly stylized and extremely heavy on the post-production but he indeed has a unique vision. Other artists that come to mind in this style are Pierre et Gille and Aaron Cobbet. Both equally as fierce and gay! Hmmm...there's a MySpace contest posted on David's website ...
