Art crush of the day: Tim Hawkinson.
Keep an eye out for him, any time you have an opportunity to see his work in person do, I promise you won’t regret it.
Because I had to keep it a secret for so long I will now tell the world! My friend’s band The Deadly Syndrome has there last concert for awhile next Thursday at The Hammer (I’ll be there, you should be too) and then they will sit down and pen their highly anticipated sophomore album.*
*Their first album The Ortolan is so amazingly kick-ass, if you bought the whole entire album on itunes right now, with actual real hard-earned money, you would thank me.
After a lovely late dinner with my friend at the El Coyote (always delicious) I put this on before I went to bed. I don’t even know where to begin on how amazing this movie is. It is so beautifully shot, the story is so moving yet inspiring to see his friends and family gather around him in support of his physical therapy and his perseverence in writing this book.
*Forgive me, I’m having a Julian Schnabel heavy week, watched Basquiat on my day off.
