The good kind of Needles...

Hard not to imagine the collection that you could design around this label...both then and now.

Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas...

We managed to get out of Satan City with no further alignments with the devil himself...we even had a few extra dollars in our pockets! (Picture by Masa)

Demolitian Days...Livin' in a construction zone.

And this is what it used to look like (curbed), when we listed the house about a year and a half ago - it was only on the market for a month 'cause the house we were trying to buy fell through.

Ty Williams stopped by the studio today...he's a talented fish and paints them too...

A nice detour from the days drudge, or sludge or the demolition days at home...thanks for the introduction Jess! Go check out Ty's paradise here, but don't hire him 'cause I want to!

Fuzzy's Wall.

I'm not sure what the real story is here as I haven't had a clear thought in three weeks??? Truth be told, I'm feeling Fuzzy. So this is Fuzzy's wall...literally.

The Legendary Jimmy 'Z

Stolen from FIRST POINT! Just another wave...

[Ed Ruscha] completes the 16mm color film Miracle (also the title of a 1973 drawing and various later works) featuring Jim Ganzer and Michelle Phillips in a tongue-in-cheek tale of a mechanic who goes through a series of religious epiphanies while repairing a '65 Ford Mustang. (via chronology)

I just bought a vintage umbrella. That's what you do in Las Vegas, right?

A little Closer...

Costa turned two on Friday and we took over Disneyland's slowest rides! Spent some time with Mason, Serena [& Chris] in their new Topanga Canyon commune last night, and had a fun, but very small, surf at Malibu on logs. And Hannah's favorite...we cleaned out the house for the pending demo crews arriving at 8am tomorrow, while I'm on a plane to a god-awful place...I'll never see my kitchen the same way again...more later.

Another man's shoes...

I want these. Found them on a blog somewhere, but I would love to find them in my closet...

Happy Birthday Little Man...

remember underdogs?

The very beautiful Tumbler of Ms Lauren Bradford Ross.

Real Feelings...

Once again, Nathaniel Russel.

Do it...If you feel it.

(thanks Scott!)

Calling all Design Talent....

I haven't had any time to post on Bonfirebeachkids 'cause I've had my head down grinding on projects. I have a couple of good opportunities in the Studio. Most importantly, I'm looking to hire another in-house menswear designer. This is a design support role with a heavy slant on product and fabric development, so technical skill is a must. This is for an incredible project with a lot of room for growth. Job is located in Culver City and you'll get to work with a lot of cool people...send resume's to juanmas@thePOPstudio.com. Also, there are two technical design opportunities as well...thanks. Back to regularly scheduled blog posts soon. Please check back...
