SETH BRAU

Animation is a part of everyone's life whether you know it or not. Seth Brau is a part of everyone's life whether you like it or not. Seth Brau was a former co-worker of mine when we worked at Odin before leaving to pursue a job for Cool Hunting. He was born and raised in La Jolia, California before moving to New York City to attend New York University. I have always thought of Seth as an easy going, jolly, and humorous type of guy. But his direction of motion graphics along with the music he chooses in his pieces presents a different view of Seth.

Here is his latest creation:

It wanders East

In attempts to create a never ending world of imagination, Greg Simkins (Crayola) keeps that world alive. With his new show "It Wanders East" surfacing New York City, at the Joshua Liner Gallery it gives us a slight chance to dive into the mind of a young and curious Artist. The Los Angeles native uses Acrylic paint on canvas and wood board to create sharp lines of quality and understanding.



My visit to the show changed my mind on color,balance, and technique. When observing his art work you would be surprised on how much your eyes can work. In his painting's he use's influences from Tim Burton, Disney Characters, and LA tattoo urban culture.










This solo show is enough to leave your mind in "AWWW" Please pay this Gallery a fine visit. Its free, Its cozy and its Art

UNITED NATIONS

As of late, the discussion roaming the United States of America has been about the stock market resembling a Six Flags rollercoaster. The country looking gloomy as ever in about several decades. Sometimes even though things look bad, there are a few bright spots. I recently reacquainted with a friend and an big idol of mine, Geoff Rickly. We shared many stories but the one that caught my ear was about a band. A band I have heard of many years but never actually heard music from. The band was called United Nations.


The identity's of the band are covered by the Reagan Masks.

Rumors circulated of a new band created by Geoff Rickly of Thursday and Daryl Palumbo of Glassjaw/Head Automatica in 2005. Finally in September 2008, the band released their Self-titled Debut on Eyeball Records. Due to contract issues, the identity of the band could not be unveiled with the exception of Rickly because Thursday is currently not under any contracts.

Prior to the release of the album, the band previewed the entire album on Myspace.com. As the word spreaded, the number of views and plays increased by the day. Please check out this project, you can sense the different genres blended into this grindcore band.

MERCH:

KATHRYN ASHLEY AKA KASH

This past weekend I walked the fine streets of Manhattan for the first time in months. It was pretty strange knowing all the yuppies and bridge and tunnel would be flooding the streets. We stumbled a few stores in which we love and worked at. Saw some amazing jewelry at places like I heart, Opening Ceremony, In God We Trust, Pas De Deux and Odin. After seeing so many awesome pieces, it made me appreciate the work my girlfriend Katie does. She current works for two companies, Melissa Plastic Dreams and Love Brigade but has an amazing talent in making jewelry.

Here is the two pieces viewable online:

Marisa Abaza

It might as well be brought back to the days of local New Jersey Hardcore shows to tell the story of how I met Marisa. Whether it was the dark greasy hair, the big cheeks, or her quiet personality which made me love her as a friend. Nothing was like her photography. Her style is captivating. From the different lighting, the various exposures, the amazing bright and dark colors, and well balanced contrast. She is an unbelievable artist.


Here are a couple of her pieces:
