Good morning, universe. In just four short days I’ll be cramming my cargo into a little rocket and zooming off to Yantaló. The pile of books and supplies at my front door has gone from this: …to this: On Monday, I’ll do my best to post photos of the contents. it’s time for some serious suitcase [...]

Photo Flurry 080 – Not Really Coming Up For Air
August 17th, 2011 · 3 Comments · Photo Flurry
Can you believe this is the 80th Photo Flurry already? Full D4RT Mode is now engaged and my itinerary is making me giddy: I’m flying to Lima on September 13th, then from Lima, I’ll fly to Moyobambo and Yantaló is a short-ish drive from there. Mostly I’m making supply shopping lists, laying down a lesson plan, [...]

Photo Flurry 079 – Excited State of Overstimulation
August 11th, 2011 · 8 Comments · Photo Flurry
Over the past month I’ve been busy working on D4RT and trying to keep up with commissions, so it’s been a challenge to stay on track with my streamlined routine – I can’t say that there haven’t been days of slipping into the over-caffeinated, under-hydrated work mode, but I’m adapting and managing to squeeze some life and fun [...]

Photo Flurry 078 – Perfect Ghost Town
August 8th, 2011 · 4 Comments · Photo Flurry
Last week, Lumi and I wandered around a secret ghost town, peeking into dusty windows, twisting rusted doorknobs and climbing crumbling rooftops. We sat under an ancient tree and talked about Buddhism, among other things. We also rolled down a grassy hill, microscopic cuts reminding us of our indiscretion for the rest of the day [...]
Photo Flurry 077 – Birthday Art at the Getty
August 4th, 2011 · 8 Comments · Photo Flurry
This year, I decided to keep birthday stuff low-key, asking friends to contribute to the D4RT Kickstarter instead of gifts. 2011 has been strange and amazing and, at times, very overwhelming – so on my birthday I wanted to do something that would inspire and recharge me. This might become a new tradition. The Getty center [...]

Photo Flurry 073 – Losing Goth Points in Hicksville
June 10th, 2011 · 18 Comments · Biorequiem, Photo Flurry
Last weekend, a bunch of friends and I packed our finest bikinis, meats and libations to spend a weekend in Hicksville – a desert “trailer palace” in Joshua Tree. Now, Hicksville is my new favorite place for glamping – that’s glamour-camping to you. Why glamping at Hicksville is good: you get the desert, a fire [...]
Photo Flurry 072 – Shipwrecked in Woodland Hills
June 7th, 2011 · 7 Comments · Photo Flurry
Two weekends ago, my friends Marz and Adria had a double birthday/housewarming party. The theme was a fancy, multi-referential shipwreck, with tropical drinks, all manner of costumes, grillin’, oysters, water fun and, eventually, dancing – all against a backdrop of a perfect Woodland Hills view. I only took pictures in the first hour or two [...]
Photo Flurry 071 – EuroZoom Round-up
June 1st, 2011 · 6 Comments · Photo Flurry
All of my Europe-related articles from the April supertrip have gone live. To save you the trouble of combing through the Chinashop archives, I’ve created this handy chronological post. Pretend I’m your tour guide, and get ready to marvel, drool, absorb and above all, walk. I walked everywhere on this trip and loved it! Click [...]
Photo Flurry 070 – In the Garden
May 31st, 2011 · 10 Comments · Photo Flurry
Ever feel like almost everyone you know is born in May? I do, and am sitting on a ton of hilarious photos from this weekend’s parties as a result. Coincidentally, my card reader broke. While I wait for a replacement, here are someone else’s pictures to temporarily fill the void. My friend Lou O’Bedlam came [...]

Friday [Photo] Flurry 069 – Boys, Boys, Boys
May 27th, 2011 · 15 Comments · Photo Flurry
A few quick snaps from my recent euro-travels, before the weekend hits. We’ll start with Francesco. Here, he’s standing in the middle of the Piazza della Signoria in Florence, under the statue of Cosimo I de Medici, and making restaurant suggestions. That’s just how he looks, all the time. I suspect that sugary eye-glint is [...]

Photo Flurry 068 – Lifethings, with Parcel
May 17th, 2011 · 8 Comments · Photo Flurry
On Saturday, we went to check out the Echo Park art walk. I was perplexed while looking over the event map: it pointed to shops, bakeries, pet stores, restaurants, and just a couple of art studios in between, sprinkled over three+ miles of Echo Park Boulevard. The “walk” aspect was clear enough, but what of [...]

Photo Flurry 067 – Trees and Fake Pink Meat
May 16th, 2011 · 14 Comments · Photo Flurry
I’ve been craving remote nature. Lately, all I want to do is read, paint, and be far from civilized society, out amidst trees and rocks and open sky. Driving through the Italian, and then French, countryside last month drove this notion further out to the top layers of my brain box, and I’m not sure [...]

These were taken during my first full [and I do mean full] day in Rome, and are but a taste of many, many more, which are coming to ChinaShop soon. Stay tuned for more Coliseum, Vatican Museum, Forum, and the jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring St. Peter’s Basilica. See also: EuroZoom 2011, Part 1. Morning outside my hotel [...]

I’m in the process of releasing several exciting new merch items into the world, dyeing my hair, planning my trip to Italy and France next week [oh god], and scrambling to catch up on a month worth of work. Still, I’m intent on updating more. First up, a few outtakes from our trip to WonderCon, [...]

And now, to celebrating the finer things in life. Another favorable aspect of my Denver journey: hangin’ with these love-beasts. Introducing Filya, the eternal Labrador puppy intent on showering the world with adoration and saliva, and Kuzya, the deceptively lithe three-legged cat who insisted on sleeping directly on top of me the entirety of my [...]

Photo Flurry 061 – Up in the Park
February 22nd, 2011 · 12 Comments · Photo Flurry
This is what I require, as often as time allows: Air, and green, and gophers, and a good book above the city. And watching Micron watch the gophers. There is no way to truly know whether she wants to befriend or destroy them. We let her get close enough to see and really smell them, [...]
Photo Flurry 060 – A Valentine’s Day Time Capsule, 2006
February 14th, 2011 · 4 Comments · Photo Flurry
Epic invitation by Lumi Once upon a time, Lumi and I had a Valentine’s Day party for the ages. Not just any Valentine’s Day party, mind you – it was called “L’amour Epineux” and our tag-line was, “Love Hurts”. The party celebrated every V-Day cliche and was vaguely fetish-themed, from what I recall. A [cough] [...]
Photo Flurry 059 – Tresspassing in San Pedro
February 11th, 2011 · 8 Comments · Photo Flurry
Ales and I took a disposable camera and mango wraps to the edge of the ocean. There, we sat on salty rocks that were once part of the city and got acquainted with hermit crabs, urchins, and other tidepool inhabitants. These aren’t scans – I photographed the prints with my digital camera, so they aren’t [...]
