Wow such a shame.

My good friend Brian, "Grimey" if you knew him when we all skated in Nashville, has lived a long journey. From our humble skate punk beginnings, he moved on to SoCal, started eightballin' and at the same time going to the Krishna temple for free vegetarian food (we both became veg at the same time and still are, its been 17 years). This lead him to a glorious life in India for many years teaching and learning. I found him again via Christine, when his last broad brushstroke was a fashion label mentioned on style.com (trasteverine.com), she sent it over to me. We have since picked up like it was still 1992. (though admittedly, we are both so busy now, I really never see him). He is currently working on a myriad of projects in a style all his own.

Any how, he has this great blog now, a mix of ancient patterns, Krishna, and ambient music. If you know him at all now, you can't think of a better description or personal window.

I have added it to my daily reads recently, and I might even use that glove pattern holmes.

(oh, and that Simpons characters name, always reminds me of his name. haha)

ummm...

Is it a architect student project? A housing for the homeless proposal? What? Not sure. It's kind of cool...

insane week.

In LA all next week and was slammed this week.

Just so I don't feel like a slacker, here is a few things that happened to me this week.

This is all about that Japanese afro.



This is all about that break with the alarm.



And even though it is a bit of a Lily Allen, Amy Winehouse, retro soul flavor, it's still my summer jam of the moment...



and the iTunes link..


The good guys over at one of my daily reads posted more on a few people in this vein here...

And obviously where I found out about this from. Highly recommended read if you don't already.

summer evenings by the east river.

Stuy Cove is a 2 minute walk from us. That's the 59th st bridge.  The UN is on the left. It's a pretty relaxing time.

joanna thinks bcn is smelly.

Haha, I am back from a fun trip! More pics to follow.

Party favors at the chikashitsu event for boneyards.
