Roberto Burle Marx
One half of my parental comity just returned from 10 days in Rio de Janeiro. Catching up with my Mom, she told me about an adventure they made, out of the city center, to one of Roberto Marx homes. Pleasantly, after a walk of the estate, they found the grounds still sprinkled with the pixie dust of Mr Marx' imagination.

Birdy's
The Knux played Birdy's on Dec 1st and someone filmed it. The audio is crude, but the energy shines - "ERASER". Enjoy.

Raleigh Denim
HOMETOWN LOVE! I was in Raleigh a couple weeks ago and stopped by Raleigh Denim. They have a cool storefront on W Morgan, around the corner from the Contemporary Art Museum. Yes, "cool store front" around the corner from whaaaa? What city is this? Downtown Raleigh has developed in the 15 yrs I've been in NYC.
The store is on the street with the manufacturing and offices through a nonthreatening curtain. The employee's are really warm and encourage you to take a walk in to check their operation. It was great to see such a cool space being put to such use. Tori has a long history in the denim business and says RD are sold in Barneys and taste maker boutiques. I was pleased to be impressed by a local business.
Buy some Raleigh Denim!

FAR ROCK
Saturday, I hopped on the A Train for an afternoon of surfing off Beach 90th st in MC Search's Far Rockaway. I've taken this mission a few times now and I enjoy the ride out almost as much as the waves (I can't say the same for the trek home, which after 3 hrs in the ocean seems twice as long as the trip out). Once you get to JFK airport, you cross Broad Channel and you are officially off of Queens proper and on the barrier island of Far Rockaway. The natural landscape is beautifully rugged and reminds me of what the designers of the Highline were chasing when designing that incredible park.
Peep some cam phone snaps.
Sunny day, let's do this!

POSTER ART
This past March, the 'PLEXER'S and I rolled to THE BEAN to catch The KNUX @ Boston College and hang in town for a couple days. We had a really good time up there and fell into a print shop on Commonwealth Ave. This shop had OG prints from many different countries, decades and events. They were super fresh and I didn't know it yet, but I was hooked on poster art.
Today, I found a great site and was looking at OLYMPIC POSTERS . The 1964, Tokyo posters are my favorites, with 1968, Mexico City a close 2nd, but there are many other great ones...

NECK OPENING IN LA
So I'm in LA for the 1st time in a WHILE... Shooting a vid w The KnuX today and their LP photo shoot tomm... Real hectic, real dope...
Anyway, I had a sec to peep the Neckface 'Cannible Carnival' opening @ New Image Gallery in Hollywood last night... The show was as much about lifestyle as it was about his paintings... Inside was a fenced in mini ramp, freshly smashed Tecate cans on the wood floor, skaters and hot-nerd-chics everywhere... I liked the pieces though... Neck's shit was colorfully morbid and really upbeat... He was mixing up settings which is always fun... Nouns that you don't typically find together such as balloons and blood... You think of balloons as festive and blood as danger, trouble, etc.. The show brought a LOT of business to the local 7-11 on Santa Monica @ Hayworth... Since cheap beer is chic and, uh, cheap, I doubt they have anymore... The scene reminded me of NYC... KINDA - in the city u can break a 6 pack and cop a single...
Regardless it was a blast, caught up w some old pals, had a brew and enjoyed the scene... Chk it if you can, runs thru sept 20th...

NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY?
China will ban all entertainers from overseas, Hong Kong and Taiwan who have ever attended activities that "threaten national sovereignty", the government said on Thursday, after an outburst by Icelandic singer Bjork.
(Earlier this year, Bjork shouted "Tibet! Tibet!" at a Shanghai concert having performed her song "Declare Independence", which she has used in the past to promote independence movements in other places such as Kosovo.) [Reuters]

HAPPY 121st B DAY MOISHE!
If anyone has been to Google's homepage today, not sure why u would - it totally sucks and isn't helpfull - but anyway, if u have u've peeped this..
Google remade their logo using Chagall's artwork, in honor of what would have been Chagall's 121st birthday. This customized logo was submitted to and granted approval by the Artists Rights Society (which represents the rights of Marc Chagall in the U.S.) and the Estate of Marc Chagall. (Previously, in 2002 and 2006, the Artists Rights Society clashed with Google when they asked Google to remove customised versions of its logo put up to commemorate artists Salvador Dalí and Joan Miró, alleging that portions of specific artworks under their protection had been used in the logos, and that they were used without permission.)
SO HERE'S TO U MOISHE! URE THE MAN!
I and The Village (Mosiac)
The Grey House
Stained glass @ The U.N. (his stained glass is my fav)
The god...
***** IT'S COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT MY GOOD FRIEND LORD SEAR SHARES HIS B DAY W MR. CHAGALL... WHAT A DAY! HAHAHA
