So I've been wanting to do a stop motion skate video (with all girl/women skaters) for quite some time. I've been trying to gather up some females, but haven't found enough to start it all up. Hopefully in the next year I'll have it. =)
In the meantime watch this AMAZING video made from cut out skate photos.

is the name of the art show currently going on right now at the Torrance Art Museum. Todd and I decided to head down to the opening of this show in support of some old Torrance skate buddies Todd used to share a ramp or two with. The show was a celebration of 80's skate zines, fliers and photographs. Curated by Rich Jacobs with artists including Andy Jenkins, Spike Jonze, Bruce Adams and many others.

I ran into one of my favorite photographers Chrissy Piper there. Check out her AMAZING work here

This project was shot on video, over 2,000 frames were exported and effected in photoshop. Then they printed out each frame onto paper, cut them out, and had people all over LA hold them while they shot each one with a digital camera. Simply Amazing!

I Scream, You Scream...

2010-05-11T16:55:00.000-07:00

We all scream for ice cream.
We have several ice cream trucks that pass by daily (at least 3). We always know when our favorite one is coming down the street because we hear the chimes of "Oh Susanna!" and for some reason weird horse sounds up in the mix of the song (??)It happens to be our favorite truck because they have soft serve ice cream with waffle cones. This day our favorite truck neglected us, but we still got our ice cream!!

I shared it with Matt Meower

Trixie became jealous, so I shared with her too

And even Conge wanted in on some of the ice cream action

Color Me Katie

2010-04-21T20:21:00.000-07:00

I love street art. And I'm not talking about tagging or what I like to call "scribble scrabble". I'm taking about REAL art. The kind that adds beauty to a city. The kind that makes me you smile when you see it. The kind that Brooklyn based artist Katie Sokoler creates around her neighborhood. She finds beauty in almost anything and when you come across her art, it makes you appreciate the simplest things in life.

I tagged along with Toys that Kill and Underground Railroad to Candyland on a lovely trip to San Francisco to plays some shows and visit some greatly missed friends. Here's the abridged version:

Living, Walking and Talking Paintings

2010-04-14T22:28:00.001-07:00

I came across Alexa Meade on Flickr and was blown away. She's a 23 year old installation artist residing in Washington D.C. and her work is out of this world. She uses acrylic paint and applies it to wall, objects and people. What's even more impressive is this chica is all self taught, with no training whatsoever.

Holy Holga!

2010-04-14T16:05:00.001-07:00

Who doesn't love a nice Holga? I mean, some of my absolute favorite photographs I've taken were with a Holga. You might look at this photo (above) and think, "Did Momma and Papa Holga produce a siamese twin?" Well, yes...I mean no, well sort of?

It's Holga's new creation. This little guy here takes 3-D photos. I know you're thinking, "Well how does this work?" The camera takes a photo with both lenses and when printed side by side, it creates a 3-D image (when viewed with the slide viewer).
This awesome camera also has the built in color splash flash, with 3 gel colors. Yes!

All this for a pretty fair price of $99. Well, the slide viewer is sold separately ($20).

You can get one of your from your local photo store or here

Mobstr

2010-03-27T01:49:00.000-07:00

The mobstr calls himself so for 3 reasons:
1.He owns a pet lobster called mobster
2.Like real mobsters, he partakes in illegal business. His illegal activity is painting walls without permission, not being a member of an organised crime gang.
3.The third reason is to do with mirrors.

Crazy Cat Men

2010-03-03T23:07:00.000-08:00

I've always thought the stereotype of "the crazy cat lady" was kind of odd and even a bit sexist. I have known many,many men that are completely cat crazy. I mean bonkers! I think my boyfriend Todd can be put close to the top of the list of these crazy cat dudes. If only I recorded the conversations he has with our cat. I might become as famous as the "Shit my dad says" guy.

Don't Stop My Motion

2010-03-03T21:54:00.000-08:00

This is the last stop motion video I've made. I made it over the summer. A lot of the photos were photos I've had from years ago, but most of it was shot one nice summer day.

XOXO

2010-03-03T21:49:00.000-08:00

One day I will have the equipment to make my stop motion videos this good. Love this!

Art

2009-07-13T09:14:00.000-07:00

Since we've moved into our new home, we haven't done too much to decorate.

I've put none of my photography up, actually to think of it, out of the whole house, we have one thing hanging on the wall (Todd's velvet clown painting). Well, I found the cutest vintage set of artwork. It's a four piece set of wide eyed 1960's mod girls I purchased from Atomic Hotdish on Etsy. Check her stuff out. Some of the coolest, vintage , retro stuff I've seen.

Aren't they the cutest things ever! The photo is by Atomic HotDish. The color they are backed against in the photo she took has inspired me to paint our bedroom wall that pretty blue color and of course hang these precious pieces of art against it.

Beach Blast & Polaroid Overcast

2009-07-12T13:17:00.000-07:00

I love the beach. I live in walking distance to the beach, but hardly go. I don't know why that is,but I'm gonna make a plan to get my butt down there more often. It's not only beautiful, but relaxing. My best friend Cori is in town visiting from portland and we made our way down to the beach for some r&r. Here's some Polaroid's from our day at the beach along with a few I took last year.

Something about the beach and polaroids that go so good together. They capture the beach in a way nothing else can.
