How good is this cover. With the pending birth of our son just a few weeks away (maybe less), this cover is just so damn relevant. Michael got this for Hannah at a thrift store in Ventura - so epic! Good vibes, Classic Period. 1981 - Just off the best decade ever and about to turn up the eighties...
P.S. This is the same Mothering magazine that Hannah gets monthly to this day. Yes, the new issue is in our living room and although the information is probably great, the mag never looked as good as it did here in 1981.
Over the weekend everything was exaggerated...the weather was more beautiful, the surf was much bigger, the swell intervals longer, the shape was incredibly refined and the paddle felt twice as long. Overall, I felt older. And my first generation iphone took clearer images in more brilliant color.
It's funny, 'cause I actually feel the opposite. I think these crazy times have never been better for dreamers. And I don't intend to stop any time soon...
(thanks FFFFOUND! for always having an image to compliment my mood. you're always there for me...)
I have been coming and going from Amsterdam working with a client for the last nine months, and tomorrow is my last day here, so I am taking in all the elements of this little village as if I might never be back. So last night as I was walking through the Joordan at 8pm (the summer sun was still shining as if it was 5pm back in California), I was admiring the way the evening sunlight illuminated even the most boring of details...the corner of a poorly painted green building, the oily texture of the glassy canals in the evening light & the slanted facades of the Dutch architecture...
I don't usually post invitations on here. Especially fashion related ones, but Adam's ceramic work blows my mind. Here's the image and the text on the email I was sent from Heath...

Was in HK a couple weeks back and noticed that they ship a few things out of this small little port town... I love this place. Every time I am here, I feel like anything is possible. Especially after a morning swim... I'm standing on the 76th floor of the W, Pool Deck looking up at this little building next door. Um, if you try to count how much higher this one goes you'll get dizzy. Danger, Danger. It's 6am, It's 89 degrees and 100% Humidity. Thunder Storms. Pools Closed. Loopy.
I'm finding everything interesting...help! This was on one of my favorite blogs, REFERENCE LIBRARY, forever ago. Thanks for all the inspiration. Too much actually...
Dutch/Californian artist Bas Jan Ader was last seen in 1975 when he took off in what would have been the smallest sailboat ever to cross the Atlantic. He left behind a small oeuvre, often using gravity as a medium, which more than 30 years after his disappearance at sea is more influential than ever before.

... this is my digital journal of sorts. Started it just before I walked away from my last job, and many months before I opened up the POP Studio. There is no real rhyme or reason to the things I post, and they have become quite infrequent these days with everything happening. And each post feels like one tiny little fragment of a very large puzzle we're all collaborating on together... a little art, some of my favorite music when it pops into my head and a few pics of family, friends and the waves along the way. I am very thankful to work with a large family of creatives (there are more than 30 of us in the studio now), and everyday inspires me in different ways. Hopefully bonfirebeachkids captures a few of the visual and melodic moments we all share together. And along with my longtime girlfriend, and two of our good friends, we opened up General Store on the corner of Superba and Lincoln Blvd. in Venice Beach. Please come and visit. Look forward to seeing you - Juan Mas
