Nitro’s mom in the WSJ
My buddy Matt (Nitro is his Superfriend name from when I was in PDX) saw that his mom made the front page of the Wall Street Journal today. She had her VW Bus stolen 35 years ago and it just appeared in a shipping container heading to Germany. The car is now worth $35k. Enjoy the story!
Fly 16×9
I am in the middle two writing two film scripts. One is for a large budget film that I’ll be pitching in Hollywood. The other is for Fly.
I was contacted by Stephen at Fly 16×9 a few weeks ago. We met to feel each other out. I liked them, they liked me. I think our common ground is an overt appreciation for art. I think it is interesting that many people consider our work fashionable however both of us are not fans of how much of the fashion world lacks a basic understanding of concepts.
We met again and I threw them a few of my ideas for a few films. A couple ideas gelled with them and we decided to take one and move it to production. It’s a great piece and the script is getting more and more interesting as I work on it. I’m excited to work with this magazine. you can see more of their work here: Fly16x9.com
John McGarity
I met John McGarity and his wife yesterday and just spent some time on his site today. His work is pretty rad! Go check it out! 
A Special Energy
Last night I went to the Surface Magazine magazine launch party in the L.E.S. I kept looking around at all the great talent in one place. Justin Hyte, Gary Wood, Mark Gong, Brendan Burdzinski, Ron Goldstein and many more. It’s an interesting collection of talent and there is just an energy among the group. I’m the newest to arrive to NY and I have the least amount of time in the city but you can tell that “something good is up.” Seeing everyone grow in to their work over the next 5-10 years will be pretty interesting.
Clifford Coffin
I was looking at Clifford Coffin’s work recently for the first time in over a year. It makes me look at my work a little differently. There is such peace and stillness to his work while mine is always fighting something. This makes me want to let peace start to happen in my work over the next 6 months.
It’s great how the artwork and artist can evolve together.
