Who am I watching being interviewed during the NBA Finals post game interviews? Basketball players or the next indie rock band that touts the cliche’ “I am so hipster it hurts, that I need to wear faux glasses.”
I know you have noticed it too. Lebron, Wade, Westbrook, Urkle….ok Steve Urkle doesn’t play for the NBA. However it seems that these NBA players are all taking fashion advice from our favorite nerd in suspenders.
I have mixed feelings, ok no I don’t. I hate it.
First of all why are they all jockin’ each others’ swag? Don’t they have any originality what so over, or are they all sponsored by the same “nerdy glass” company.
I can see it now a bunch of East Sider flannel shirt, levi’ wearing hipsters’ banded together to sponsor these NBA players to promote their oh so counter-culture lifestyle.
Maybe they should wear them during the game and get real prescriptions, maybe they would make some of those free throws. Better yet give them to the referees, so they can see better and stop calling shady fouls.
Takes?
Redefining, what use to be considered an art that represented defiance and associated with society’s unwanted.
We all have heard and ventured downtown on Thursday nights for Downtown Art Walk. A night that attracted a scene of people with all alternative motives for joining in on the festivities. Either it be another night for organized bar crawls, art connoisseurs that sipped on wine to view various elaborately presented art pieces, or the foodies that had the hunger to discover and consume every food truck in sight.
Summer is here, and it is time to venture west for a whole new adventure. Being a native to LA, art was and still is all around me. Art isn’t defined by the confines of a picture frame. It is the energy of the people on the street and the clothes on their backs, the unexpected graffiti mural that is planted on a bus bench, to the artisan crafts hand made by the man sitting on the corner selling his craft for survival.
What if I told you there is a place that encompasses all of Los Angeles’ electrifying unique culture? I’ll let you on in a little secret…there is a whole new way to put the cliche Sunday Funday to work.
Cahuenga Corridor Street Market, that launched May 6th is heading full force every Sunday through summer. A all day event that all attendees are bound by similar interest. To be exposed to the unknown and underrepresented.
Cahuenga Corridor Street Market differentiates it self from the rest, collaborated “by artist for artist.”
An array art in many forms that represents the city I grew up in unique culture. Music, street graffiti art (once looked down upon) that is getting exposed and appreciated by all despite previously preconceived notions, clothing designers, and artisan crafts. This street market goes far beyond just a its name, it is a place for exposure, knowledge, and collaborative inspiration.
This day long street market is seriously one created for everyone, families, tourist, or just another native Los Angelinos like me rediscovering the beauty of LA all over again.
Don’t miss out on this new eyeopening event, where LA is truly viewed through a new lens. Inspire your senses, and get exposed to why we live and breath LA.

The beginning of my renderings of stencils for my next art piece…gonna be of music legends with mix mediums and old recycled goods…so beautiful outside in my outdoor art studio…with the boat dock in the back
The older I get, and the more I do. Designing on the tech end, I realize that the basis of all my new art stems from my original background in my 2nd degree as a studio artist. Photography and Drawing/paint were my emphasis with a dip into musical production. It is calming to look back on the traditional art I use to create compared to the digitalized art I create today.
Ten years ago, most of my tech/digitalized art did not even exist today. Whereas my traditional art that I started from seemed to go back centuries.
The world is changing fast, and the perception of art is evolving. I must not forget to nurture the traditional forms to inspire me to create innovative art that intertwines new and old.
So naturally, Ziggy needed a friend. I find myself that I need balance in my life always a good mix of traditional and modern so meet Lennon….just got him today!
Say hello to my new baby Ziggy. Boyfriend went camping…..so I bought myself a new slick violin. A girl has to keep herself entertained……
capoeira in the movies. and then live….
