NEW Pink/Brown Stool/Stool

LA Burnout I & II

L.A. Burnout is made up of the sounds floating around Los Angeles in the late ’60s and ’70s; a faded aural imprint of the canyons, beaches, wildfires, neighborhoods, late-nights and early mornings of a bygone L.A.

Pretend you're driving on the freeway with your windows rolled down and crank this mix from Aquarium Drunkard.

How to explain it to my parents?

Explaining my reasons for pursuing a career in art to my parents on a typical occasion reminds me that I do, indeed, have a sense of humor. I recently stumbled upon How to explain it to my parents? (via 01 Magazine), a documentary series by Dutch artists Lernert & Sander. In the series, nine abstract artists sit down with their parents for a conversation about their work. There are some really wonderful moments in each episode; it's all in all a great series. BTW, where my ladies at?
