In preparation for an upcoming music video I am working on, I have spent the evening sorting through my archive of reference photos. Among the beautiful images clipped for obvious aesthetic reasons and the bizarre shots whose purpose I can neither fathom nor remember storing, I occasionally come across a miscategorized gem that takes my mind from my intentions and leaves me pleasantly recalling moments that I somehow managed to forget…
JLO “Do It Well” 2007
Our Coachella vacation via Matt’s camera:
1957 Chevy Golf Cart- we tried to valet at Ace Hotel.
Matty won the Coachella-house game.
I wanna go back.
A friend just texted me this photo out of the somewhat new book of Nylon street shots! I had no idea! I need to find a copy so I can read the text.

Coinciding with the purchase of a brand new (very old) pedestal-farmhouse-kitchen-table, I have become absolutely obsessed with finding one of its seats to camp at for hours and diligently work until daylight becomes lamplight, and sometimes back again.
These first two months of living in Los Angeles have been a pleasant combination of reacquainting and introductions. Although it has been two years since I left this city, my return has made me feel in no way brand new, and instead, seasoned with just enough familiarity to navigate intelligently.
I am examining old work and thinking about finished projects, and trying to determine exactly how all of my past, present, and future ventures involve one another. I am feeling more creative than ever and welcome every invitation for collaboration.
The photo above is the view from my workspace as seen through my iphone as of just moments ago. I received a huge box in the mail today of all of my books and am enjoying flipping through old references or even photos like the print pictured, (from Meeno Peluce who I will style a shoot with very soon!)
The illustration is inspired by this project, which I chose to share regardless of it not being fully painted in order to share my progress with you!
Taking a break now to enjoy my Saturday night. I hope you do the same!
