Midnight Requisition

I was just introduced to Westfall's work this past weekend at Helmuth Projects in San Diego.

I've posted about Sarah Kersten on here before and now she's running a Kickstarter campaign for her ceramic studio.  I'm a big fan of her work, especially her fermentation jars, and you can pick one up and support her new studio.

Who better to chose for my return to the F.A.M. series than the 17th century Dutch painter Judith Leyster?  More on Leyster here .

My time has been a little less free lately so I haven't had a chance to keep up with my posting but here is a photo from a trip we took to Tourmaline Beach yesterday.  I never get tired of beaches...or Beaches .

I saw this piece, " Thank You ", by Samara Golden at Made in L.A. a few weeks back.  The sound component was probably my favorite part but I also can get behind any piece that engages you with 3-D glasses (that's me at the top) and replicas of Casio watches.  I also really liked that one of the photos looked like my friend Gary.

We went to the free Drive Like Jehu reunion  concert  this past Sunday night and it was really impressive on several fronts.  They played with a live organist and there was probably at least 3,000 people there.  It all felt very late 90s, as do many things here, and I loved it.  

This TED talk by the wonderful artist Paul Rucker is a must watch.
