December 30, raining, happy. Just popping in to quickly mention that I am, indeed, alive but won’t be back until about a week into the next year. I’ve been tasked with a new project that’s taking up, literally, all my time. However, I do dig the new year’s eve symbolism and plan to greet 2010 with a small group of friends, watching movies, drinking champagne, eating fondue, and being fahbulous. How about you?
And so I don’t leave empty-handed: pictures from wandering on Grand Avenue after a visit to MOCA’s First Thirty Years exhibit. To me, these capture the Los Angeles winter mood fairly well.
And a bunch from a visit to mine and Ales’ friend, Matt Levin. Matt is an artist and you should check out his stuff here. He has prints for sale here – I have one and it’s pretty damn epic. One of Matt’s sculptures:
And now I go, leaving you with the photos after the jump.

Have a happy new year! I love the pictures of L.A.
Every year our family always has a bunch of cousins come to visit, and all the little girls do a small beauty pageant so they’re entertained until midnight. It’s also so they don’t get too full of sugar. My mom makes fantastic fudge and we go through about 3 pans of it on New Years eve, along with the layered cookies. This year I imagine it’ll just be me doing the hair and make-up for a bunch of wiggly kids. Should be fun.
I hope you have a wonderful new year!
In the last picture, is that Tekkon Kinkreet?
have a happy new year =)
The book array is divine.
I didn’t know you were dating Batman. Boss!
I see Coin Locker Babies on that pretty shelf!
Closeups of those bookcases would probably make me weep with joy.
Have a happy, happy new year!
Oh yes, close-ups of the bookcases please! I need even more items on my “books to read/buy” list.
And a wonderful new year to you! For the first time I won’t be at a small gathering of friends tonight but at a Big Party with friends performing – an excuse to wear my most glittery dress…
The best to you and yours in the New Year!
Also, Batman really needs to take his secret identity thing more seriously. Clearly Hollywood success has gone to his head.
Okay, I’m glad to know that I wasn’t the only one thinking ‘I’d *love* to see the contents of those shelves’.
Guys, I’d love to show you more of them books but would you not be creeped out if I came over to YOUR house, demanding to take close-ups of your books to show to the internet? Rest assured, Matt has fantastic taste in literature!
Although, I might photograph sections of our, also expansive, bookshelves to appease ye, great spirits of Da Wub.
There’s worse types of people to attract than ‘book people’.
Gorillagrams, for example. Could you imagine being a magnet for them? You wake up, nice and cosy in your PJ’s and at the kitchen window appears a man in a primate suit. It would ruin your breakfast.
OK peeps, you’re all in luck! Matt has kindly done the deed himself and photographed close-ups of his books. You can peruse the resulting Flickr set, here.
Happy New Year, Zoe! I wish you health, success, and shoes.
happy 2010 haps to you
