This Is a coffee table I made a few months back I was very proud to be able to give to Kan Ando, An Incredible Designer I have the pleasure to know. It's made of reclaimed plywood, and Steel.

This is a detail of the pattern I painted on it over the stain, It's heavily influenced by one of my favorite artists David Ellis, he's a spectacular artist working out of New york, I'll drop a post on him After the Jump.
This is a detail of a laser etching that i produced from one of my sketches of a Soulful and Compassionate woman named Nancey who I have known my whole life. I like to draw people as i FEEL they exshit rather than how I physically see them, I feel there is more personal truth in that, than a direct translation of there physical appearance.

I made this Coffee table  completely out of reclaimed pieces I found at Stubbs Scrap yard in Savannah Georgia,  It is made of an old Schwinn bicycle and the hood of an old Sky blue MG . The cactus I found in my room, i guess I re purposed that rather than reclaimed. It was made for the average Daisy Duke lovin, Trailer livin, Southerner.

A wedding ring for those with commitment issues.


This is a ring I made trying to look at personal protection, I wanted to make something that could be worn by a guy with commitment issues. If ever any relationship went uncomfortably to far, the man could light the ring, burn the girl and leave protected. I also just thought it was rather striking visually. Hopefully I can post other images of my work later. Thankyou.

I Say Fever

incredible animation by Stefan Nadelman
I don't know why I have been so hot for music videos lately, but who's complaining?

MORE GRIZZLEY BEAR????


well, apparently this band takes great care in the video stages of there artistic endeavors. This video is equally as good as the last one I posted, Sorry to be repetitive, but hey.  Any Way this video was done by a fantastic artist named Allison Schulnik and she has done the entire video for them. i'm very impressed to say the least, it reminds me a good bit of Jean-Michelle Basquiat  for some reason.

I Love Grizzly Bears "Two Weeks" Video


TheVideo for Grizzly Bear's Video "Two Weeks" is fantastic. It's Really well thought out on all levels, First Aesthetically it is pleasing, the colours are up and pleasent, which contrasts ironically to the actual songs over all feeling.  The Song itself  I think is about being overly passive with your emotions in some kind of  relationship. For example "Would you always, Maybe sometimes, Make it easy, Take your time"  persuading the other so timidly that it is useless. But the actuall video does not just mimick the song, the video is used to push the idea, to further the story. As the band members start to smile and glow as they sing I think that is the build up of emotion inside them. So overall, the song and the video urge the viewer to not count themselves second otherwise eventually it will come out and the relationship (video/ Song) will end, this idea is supported by the title of the song, as in a two weeks notice.Over all I love it. Just my thoughts let me know what your take is.

How Kettners's Got It's Napolianic Groove Back



The Soho Restaurant and Bar Kettner's Just Got a nose job, a tummy tuck, and a lift. And Damn they look great.  They went under the knife of Ilse Crawford,



and incredible designer and come out with a somewhat retro-french contemporary look that shoots tingles through the body. Certainly now far more female friendly, Kettner's newly found Parisian Glamor will keep you in your seat for hours. Be it Brunch, Lunch or Dinner Kettner's really has re invented themselves.
