Claire's House Warming

Claire invited us to an incredible house warming last eve. I had the BEST hot dog i've ever had, seriously, Lebanese cream cheese, home made olive tapenade, Dijon mustard, ketchup, grilled onion, wheat bun, beef with no extra crap. HOLLA! I didn't get a single non blury foto of Claire, but her back is towards you at least. Congrads Claire! What a lovely time & place you have!

LGC x The Courage

Le Grand Cru teamed up with The Courage for a special T-shirt to celebrate their first official full length record. Only 100 were made and was first available last night at their album release show. They will be available during their tour in support of 'Fearful Bones' as well as briefly on LGC's site.

I'm very fond of The Courage and to create with them in mind was a true delight. High Five friends, so proud of you and your craft!

NO THEFT x Paper Astronomer

This past Friday my good friend Melodie & I printed 100 ltd. screen prints of my latest piece for Paper Astronomer's show at the Tractor Tavern. It's one of my favorites. It's an incredible thing to have an idea, sketch it out, and 2 days later being a print. A great satisfaction.

Another satisfaction that trumps this greatly is having the trust of a client. The trust to deliver a piece that's the best compliment and natural extension to their craft. I've worked numerous times with PA and each time they have let me pursue casting a vision and running with it. This trust has allowed me to push what I do in exploring new design directions even though some of em may be nasty. This piece has surpassed my vision for it. I'm well pleased. GO to this show, ALSO my boy Tony Kevin Jr. is playing too, HOLLA!

I Gotta Girl

I have a girl and we're both from Michigan. We love to go to the lake and she'd probably say that she loves to go to the lake and that she has to drag me along until I say 'babe, that's not true, I love the lake'. This one time we got a spicy chiken sandwhich, medium frie, lrg coke on the way to the lake. She wasn't hungry and jus said 'I'll have a bite of yours' which meant that in a short few minutes she would actually be hungry and I would give half of everything I would have to her even though she would be like 'no babe, i don't want to eat your food, jus eat it' and what man could sit around eating food when his girl is hungry? ALWAYS get more than one frie.
We both have sweet teal shoes.


Things I sometimes forget about Vanja: She can speak Croatian fluently. Crazy right? She only pulls out the eastern tongue for the Sabbath blessing and when speaking to the fam. Mob? She can be really street hard, faces, getting things done, clothes, music, hand signs, did I mention faces? She loves fresh flowers and I never get them for her, food or flowers...never mind, that's a lost battle, FLOWERS. She loves kids, being around em, teaching them, playing, taking care of, I see such a beautiful side of her when she's around children, it's oh so nice. She's FEARLESS, seriously, what she's willing to do, jump out of planes, take buses late at night, invite homeless people to join our table when we eat out, do dishes as soon as we're done eating, grocery shop with a ravenous boy, move to Seattle to be closer to me :D WOOT WOOT!


Something I forget about myself: I love my birth place Paris, when I hear someone speak French my mind works differently, new synapsis, old memories, I melt a little and then get sad because I don't speak French and haven't been home since '86. I'd like to spend a chunk of my life in France one day, reconnect with my family, work and write French music.


This is what a Friday evening in Michigan looks like during the summer. I didn't edit this photo at all, just like this. I miss Michigan and I miss my girl too.

NO THEFT X LLB

I'm drawing more and finding more fonts that I like to work with. In regard to color/mood I think of one word for this piece, and it happens to be one of my favorite words: Apothecary.
Come out to see my pals Lower Lights Burning on the 17th!
