Juozas Cernius
I don’t really know Juozas Cernius, but he did include me in a photo show he organized. I was looking at his website and came across this awesome iphone photo montage of old cars in Brooklyn. Its made even better by his use of the animated Gif.

The Travel Almanac
My friends Brooke and John have been developing The Travel Almanac, a beautiful new magazine that recently launched.
About:
The Travel Almanac explores the topics of traveling and temporary habitation from the personal perspectives of innovative figures in the fashion, music, art, and film worlds. Addressing an increasingly mobilized creative community, it is the first publication of its kind to speak to this sophisticated generation of travelers. The plurality of this community inspires the magazine to focus on individual’s personal experiences and the effects of travel on their lives and work.
Our first issue features original interviews and conversations with director, David Lynch; Javier Peres, Los Angeles/Berlin-based gallerist, curator, and owner of Peres Projects; Andy McCluskey, lead signer of the legendary 80’s band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark; James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem; art-star Terence Koh, as well as many other cultural icons and innovators. The issue also contains a feature on Japanese Ryokans (ultra-traditional countryside hotels), as well as personal travel stories, and reviews of the most exceptional and interesting hotels worldwide.

Feathered Edge
Ball Nogues has a great installation titled Feathered Edge on display at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.
Michael Bilsborough
Michael Bilsborough is pretty much the nicest person on earth until you get him in a corner. I love how all of his drawings look exactly like him but more debaucherous.

Reza explained the universe to my friend Kevin and I at a dinner party and was pretty much spot on.
