A Westside Story

My grandparents have been married for 70 years. They're both in their 90's now and considering the change and struggle the world has seen in that time, it's hard to imagine the life they've shared. My grandmother Rose was born in Puerto Rico in 1920 but raised in Spanish Harlem, New York. My grandfather Eugene was born in 1921 and brought up in a strict Irish Catholic family in Hells Kitchen, New York. Both fell in love during a bygone era that few in my generation have the appropriate appreciation for. It's a fairy tale romance that lends authenticity to American classics like Broadway's West Side Story and Ben E. King's Spanish Harlem. I was recently sorting through old things of theirs and came upon a red album full of original photographs. Some timeless images of old New York neighbors, honored wartime buddies, quaint backyard BBQ's, and an undying love that still burns strong.

How To Make A Tattoo Machine

I was wandering around the museum gift shop yesterday after a visit and found this great zine by Jeff Potocar featuring east Los Angelino skater Fabian Alomar and his homie Trouble. It's a simple zine with a simple goal in mind; make a jailhouse style tattoo machine. The zine is limited to 200 in this first run and is published by Heavy Time Books. Find yourself a copy and start tattooing already.

Arto Saari Photography

Many are familiar with Arto Saari for his exploits in front of the camera as a professional skateboarder. However, as of late Arto has been honing his skills behind the camera with some really tasteful photographic perspectives. As an insider, Arto's acceptance within various skateboard circles imbues his imagery with a sense of familiarity that translates into authenticity and feeling. Both from his subject's standpoint as well his own. Look forward to seeing more great work from Arto as he continues his photographic pursuits.

Fuct Up & Far Out

A proper little collection of various gems as mixed by Zac Hendrix. Of course Fuct had something to do with this.

I made this mix with the intent of it being a promo for the world famous clothing company known as.. Fuct. They've been around since I was a little guy, so it was an honor to be asked to provide something for them.

Frances Bean Cobain

Frances Bean Cobain is the 20 year old daughter of rockers Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. These images were taken by renowned fashion photographer Hedi Slimane from a fairly recent shoot with Frances. Now I know what an angel looks like.
