Before this became one of my favorite songs by ‘Ye -

Am I the only one who thinks John Mayer is a creep? Hilarious (and genius), but a creep none the less.

Last week, my girl Grace (Peachies) posted on Twitter that she needed a helping hand for a video she was filming. Since I was in the area, I swung by after work and found myself a part of MANIVORE.
The trailer and first episodes have just launched and I absolutely love it! Take a gander below:

There will be two more episodes released to round out the series, stay tuned!

I always know how little I’ve been blogging based on the number of pictures inside each month’s ‘blogging photos’ folder… haha! As a minor catch up… a few weeks ago, I scooped up Garth Trinidad to link with my folks over at SA Studios Global.

Like any creative agency that does anything marginally relevant, our offices are pretty top secret. Thus why I never blog about my job, outside of events we produce. But here’s a flick of the super ill Cartoon and Cope piece that was done a couple weeks ago. More info on it can be found here.

In addition to neat projects with Forza and DJ Hero, we’ve got a group that builds custom lowriders.

The fellas even hooked Garth up with a limited edition Mister Cartoon x Metro PCS cellular. Felt like Christmas, two months early! ;) Huge thank to Victor and Marco for taking the time to link and the gracious tour. Now Garth doesn’t have an excuse not to pick up my calls, hehe.

My world is currently a whirlwind of tissue paper, philosophy reading, tire residue and emails. Will have some neat stuff to share in a few… for now, check THREESIXTWO. Thanks! xoxo

While walking down the streets of LA last weekend, I stumbled across a familiar sight:

I’m beating JP to the punch, but for those of you who don’t know, that’s his awesome Scion TC that won a tuner challenge some months ago. It debuted at SEMA and got some print love after beating out the competition.


It’s always a good feeling to see friends doing their thing, and to be a small part of those projects yourself ;) Congrats again buddy – really happy for you! You already know what the next target is… hehehe

A stunning siren and dear friend of mine, Jenilee Reyes had a solo performance last week at Space1520 to promote awareness of the $15 billion dollars to be cut from California social and education programs. I grabbed a few friends to roll through and show love for my girl’s first solo performance in two years.

Didn’t get any video, but here’s a throwback of her from ‘07. Her voice is as amazing as ever and I’m beyond excited to see what she’s got up her sleeve for the near future.

OH and funny story – I saw this video via someone’s Twitter eons ago and couldn’t get over how clever it was. Randomly enough I meet Jenilee just a bit later and had no idea she was part of the trio. It was only when she introduced me to her bandmates that the lightbulb went off. It’s a great sign of her sense of humor and fun personality – check it out!

Growing up, there was seldom music in our house. No particular reason, I guess the folks just weren’t about that. Anyway, it’s pretty much rendered me those musically challenged individual this side of the Mississippi. Luckily, my friends have kept me (relatively) in tune with the world. Wednesday night, the lovely Ms. Chloe invited me out to Upper Manhattan Lounge to see Ali Woodson, formally of The Temptations perform in an intimate setting with some close friends and family. (Sorry, don’t know how to edit video, hence the weirdo colors).

Manhattan Beach is known for its laid-back style, so this lounge might be the fanciest thing within a 5 mile radius. Neat atmosphere, killer mimosas! Ask Mike to serve one up, you won’t be disappointed.

Geesus, why am I cheesin’ so hard? I guess happy girls come from California? LOL Thanks Chlo!

This summer, I was fortunate enough to link with the incredible Ramona Wright (Mozaic) to help with Garth Trinidad’s latest venture: mojamoja. Tuesday marked our inaugural launch at the House of Blues: The Foundation Room with a close selection of family and friends in attendance.

MojaMoja is an exclusive social networking and key influencer branded entertainment experience at the new Foundation Room in the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip. Curated by International DJ and award winning KCRW radio host Garth Trinidad, this unique monthly listening lounge experience will feature acoustic performances by established and emerging international alternative artists, a gifting lounge, featured DJs and this month live dancers, as well as tabla and sitar players. Each month various brands and non-profits will be featured to raise awareness about worthy causes.

As with any event I do, I never have time to snap flicks of friends or atmosphere, but thankfully the wonderful Wendy (Society Image) was on deck for a few. Peep her site to see all the images from the night.

Wendy caught two of the most wonderful people I know – Peter & Rhea. Thanks for coming out guys! (Apologies to everyone else in attendance who I didn’t get on film. You know who you are and I love you all beyond belief for the support! xoxo)

Live dancers & performers – all contributing to the eccentric vibes that define GT. Gotta love it!

I spy with my little eye… Bryce! ;)

A huge thank you to Ramona and the rest of the mojamoja team for having me on board. It’s an honor to work with such an accomplished and talented group. Stay tuned as we open our monthly experience to the public later this month!

As I spend hours (upon hours upon hours…) surfing the web each day, I come across quite a few incredible images that just get stashed into a folder on my desktop. I go through them occasionally, but it really feels like a waste to have no righteous place to share them with the world.
Recently, I was asked to create a storyboard for my Creative Design course. I started arranging my thoughts and inspirations via blog – THREESIXTWO – and eventually used this as a medium for my presentation. As it organically evolved, my professor encouraged me to continue with it as another avenue for creative output. No guarantees when I’ll update it or with how many images but hopefully it’ll be a cool addition to your RSS every once in a while. And of course, should you have a vision to share, my email is at the top right corner of the blog. Indulge me. Grazie. (click on image to take a gander)
