lacma

This week, I took my girl to LACMA. As soon as I walked in, I saw some great work by Jeff Koons. I was inspired Barbara Kruger's digital black & white photos. There was a great gallery called "California Design 1930-1965- Living in a Modern Way"make sure you catch that show before it closes.

westside life

I've been sleeping on my photo-journalism blog because I'v turned my focus to my figure paintings.  I was waiting on a Canon Rebel but will continue using my iphone until better means become available. Stay tuned for photos that i find aesthetically beautiful or that inspire my artistic process.

dinner @ library alehouse

Took Bella on a walk on the boardwalk, before walking over to Main Street.  We went to Library Alehouse, which is my girlfriend's favorite place to go on Main Street.  I usually don't drink beer, but when I do, Library Alehouse is the location I frequent.  I ordered buffalo wings, which paired well with my goblet of beer. We ended the night at club Main, before heading home. 

dinner @ roscoe's

 I almost fell into cardiac arrest, it was so good. I hadn't been to Roscoe's since I'd been back on the Westcoast and was the first time at their new location in Inglewood. I' recommend the country boy, which is 3 wings and a waffle, with a side of mac & cheese, grits & a sunset.  This restaurant has always been my favorite since highschool.

night & day

Last night I took Bella on a walk, when I ran across this JFK Rolls. This morning I took a walk down the boardwalk.  The beach was pretty active for how early it was, from the handball court to battleground. I noticed a mural done by Emily Winters, which was quite inspiring.  Also saw this skull mural, done by an unknown artist.  

trap back

Gucci Mane's Trap Back came out yesterday and has been playing on my Macbook since. Gucci Mane's work has always been on my headphones since highschool, while I painted and work on my graphic projects.

morning @ schulzies

This morning, I took Bella on a walk to Schulzies for a cup of coffee and some bread pudding. I got a blue bottle drip and white raspberry bread pudding with raspberry sauce.  As I ate my breakfast, Bella tryed to eat a bird.  Battlegrounds and the racketball courts were pretty empty as I walked home. There was some new beach cruisers on canal, which caught my notice.
