The 2012 Los Angeles Art Show
Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of attending the Los Angeles Art show at the LA Convention Center. To say the least, it was gigantic. Ever been to Ski Dazzle there? Replace all the snowboards with canvases and there you go. That said, I was anxious. I love taking in [...]
Drawings from my Travel Sketchbook
I recently stumbled upon my sketchbook that I took on my 2010 Europe/Egypt backpack trip. Recently, that trip has been surfacing as random train tickets and airline printouts, but luckily my sketchbook turned up. The sketchbook I brought was from my amazing sister (a very talented architectural designer) who studied [...]
15. Writing, Knit cap/flannel/hemp shoe wearing, backpacking New Yorker on a train
I just realized this is my first sketchbook entry since December 2009! This will change. Because I’ve been asked: this isn’t me. I don’t own hemp shoes. And I haven’t had abs like that since I played basketball in high school. That is my backpack, camera, bracelet, journal, tank top, [...]
How to Take Great Travel Photos
Photography is one of my favorite hobbies, and it’s been quite an adventure learning everything I can about it these last few years. A few people asked me recently about what it was like taking photos during my backpacking trip in 2010. Like many travelers, much of my response had [...]

I recently designed and launched a new website for indie clothing brand, Royal Trash Wear.

Each shirt is unique, and is a product [...]
My Old Paintings on New York Walls
I went to visit a few dear friends in New York a couple months ago. I hadn’t seen two of them in years. It made me happy to see that both of them carried my paintings to their new homes, thousands of miles away. Chelsey, an amazing designer from Texas [...]

Ilya Polyakov – New Website Launch
A few weeks ago, I launched Ilya Polyakov’s new portfolio website. Ilya is a very talented young director whose work ranges from short films to commercials and much more in between. The site itself is a simple HTML, CSS and JS markup that, in retrospect, is a process I haven’t [...]

Aloe Blacc at Amoeba Music LA
After going through a few old photos, I stumbled upon the Aloe Blacc event I attended at the Amoeba music on Sunset Blvd last November. If you don’t know who Aloe Blacc is, you’ve been asleep. Smooth yet funky, modest yet opinionated, this talented man has been sharing his musical [...]
