Even though Los Angeles is out of the playoffs, both Lakers and Clippers, we still like a good “Buck LA” tee from Jeremy Fish. And if you are Lew/Kareem, you are getting bucked and laked for all your accomplishments. In the webstore now…
Rico Deniro’s “Clearing Bush”
May 29th, 2012
Remember when George W Bush had to spend a month down at the ranch in Crawford, Texas in August or so of 2001, because he needed to clear some brush from his property? Rico Deniro remembers, too. His Clearing Bush tumbleweed catcher is on display at FIFTY24SF Gallery right now…
Stanley Donwood “Lost Angeles” Prints
May 29th, 2012
Our good friend Stanley Donwood, who showed with FIFTY24SF Gallery in 2010, has just released a few prints, two we are highlighting here in LA Exit and Apocalypse 101, in conjunction with his Lost Angeles show at Subliminal Projects. We like his write up on Apocalypse:
A choice selection of Los Angeles landmarks; the Crossroads of the World, one of the huge elephant statues that stand at Hollywood and Highland, the Roosevelt Hotel (stalked by the ghost of Marilyn Monroe), the famous Pantages theatre, the First National Bank building, and the iconic Capitol Records building, with Griffith Observatory up in the hills… all of them in dire trouble. The 101 freeway is already beneath the waves.
This is a three colour screenprint, including an almost (but not quite) imperceptible white and a metallic grey.

Amazing Structure: Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center
May 28th, 2012
Japan just doesn’t mess up design. Maybe they aren’t the most powerful #2 in the world, but they care about quality control more than most if any country. This is the Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center in Tokyo by architect Kengo Kuma. Its incredible. It looks the future in a 17th Century sort of way. (via)
