11:04 AM, Burbank, CA. Random snapshots of patterns from IKEA. Polka dots are expressive to me. Each one of these are slightly different in their size and shape but their serrated edges are especially interesting.

#594, 10:45 PM. Random patterns. “In isolation, individual parts are lifeless, like a chopped off finger. The life of a finger, its effectiveness is determined by its ordered juxtaposition with other parts of the body.” –Kandinsky.

11:31 AM, MOCA, Los Angeles, CA. For fans of the zine, this was an interesting historical exhibit of its practitioners at MOCA’s Geffen Contemporary in Los Angeles. In particular, I think that adventurous commercial illustrators and progressive graphic designers would appreciate the zine as a form of expression and also self-promotion.

11:34 AM, MOCA, Los Angeles, CA. Words and images. This was one display case of several cases containing original Raymond Pettibon zines. There were a lot of Pettibons.

11:34 AM, MOCA, Los Angeles, CA. “Get out?! Not while we can! The light at the end of the tunnel was full of smoke.” Raymond Pettibon’s cover was a knockout!

#592, 4:11 PM. This was an iPad digital drawing using my technique of visual fragments in a narrative. My idea was to simply revisit older photos and drawings and orchestrate them to make an alternative narrative. These “cannibalized” fragments were from earlier blog posts.

#591, 12:01 PM. I did a combination of a digital photo and drawing on the spot. This was a mild intervention. Quiet, understated, and restrained at its core. Captured the vibe at the moment.

#590, 7:54 PM. This is a visual mash up from several reference points. I was working from images on a Chinese package design, a Japanese comic book, and a Japanese monster movie. For me, the experience of drawing this was like a conductor orchestrating an ensemble of different events in order to make a cohesive whole. In the foreground, I’ve added an orange rickshaw. By the way, I’ve never been on a rickshaw and my guess is that I would feel uncomfortable having someone pull me around at his or her expense.
