just finished up a small video project called LIFE COACH with Jared Eberhardt that premiers this Saturday in LA.

here are a few behind the scenes photos from the final shoot for the piece that happened over a long weekend in and around the Joshua Tree / 29 Palms area. some highlights included getting caught on a closed off highway during a sandstorm outside of Palm Springs, roaming the dessert with cactus needles stuck in my hand and seeing lots of dead fish.

Life Coach is a stream of consciousness collection of film, stop motion and text based elements that were created collaboratively in Los Angeles and Chicago (with stops in Virginia, Wisconsin and Salt Lake City in between) over a period of a few weeks. Using geometric shapes, quiet outdoor scenes and a minimal color palette, we experimented with abstract and sometimes absurdist ways of delving into themes of hope vs. doom, euphoria, boredom, solitude, anxiety, apocalypse and rapture.

just got some photos back from my recent installation at BAR in miami. The bar has a new artist come in every 2 months and change things up. in the past they have worked with Alvaro (Freegums), Mike del Marmol and fellow 12oz blogger Todd James. it was fun to get a break from the studio and i had a good time in miami (did some swimming in the ocean, hung out with some crackheads, ate some smoked fish & got to catch up with some good friends).

a little about BAR and the photos below….

BAR in downtown Miami is a creative clubhouse opened in 2010 by Aaron Bondaroff and Al Moran, founders of OHWOW.  Their goal was to create a hub for Miami’s thriving creative community.  A refuge from the stale, pretentious Miami nightlife, BAR acts as a meeting point for all types of people by providing an easy going atmosphere, reasonably priced drinks and an inspiring decor.  In line with the OHWOW brand, Bondaroff and Moran invite a different artist to reinterpret the entire space every two months.  This constant change creates a dynamic experience for patrons and for the artists themselves. In what has become a clichéd nightlife scene, BAR has risen above and put the OHWOW seal of approval on downtown Miami.
