I’m All Artsy Fartsy
Since I’ve been on a bit of a shopping spree as of late, I headed over to Wacko / Soap Plant / La Luz De Jesus [LINK]. They’re always good for some cash outlay by me. Being a fan of low brow art, a couple prints caught my eye. Well, almost anything with tikis on it catches my eye. I bought one by the artist Aaron Marshall [LINK] from Canada. It’s called “You Think I’ll Take Your Order, Boy? You Must Be Fucking Dreaming!”. The ultimate goal though is to secure 7 particular Mark Ryden [LINK] paintings. Four of which are tiki themed and one of girls on a carousel. Pele, Exotica, Tiki God, Clear Hearts, Grey Flowers, The Debutante, Princess Sputnik and another which is fairly rare.








Every other night or so I go out the the jacuzzi and there’s a regular crowd out there that shoots the shit. It’s usually comprised of some combination of the Actor(s), the Director, the Editor, the Graphic Designer, the Visual Effects Artist (me), and Roger. It’s the epitome of what you’d expect from a crowd in L.A. Everybody’s in the business, except for Roger who soaks it all in. Roger is a large black man who has so many wild stories I start to wonder if he’s making half of them up. He’s sort of the unofficial overseer of the jacuzzi. There’s also an older lady who speaks way to frankly and says she’s dated Warren Beattie, Timothy Leary and Robert Atkins the diet guru. Anway, tonight, Actor says he’s going to be on the show “Monk” [




















One cool cat. As soon as I get home and open the back door, neighbor cat Eddie comes comes a runnin’. He hangs out with me a lot when I’m eating on the patio. While my Mom was visiting once she fed him some cheese and he immediately barfed it back up along with a weeks worth of hairballs. We lost our appetite right then.
