LIFE AFTER LOCKDOWN – ARTISTS & FRIENDS SHARE THEIR STORIES…
With the Coronavirus pandemic continuing to alter the ways we are living our daily lives, I’ve been curious about how my fellow artists are adapting, not only in regards to…
A COLLABORATION WITH THE PAPER KITES NEW ALBUM
The Paper Kites are Sam Bentley, Christina Lacy, Dave Powys, Josh Bentley and Sam Rasmussen. Formed in Melbourne, Australia in 2010, but having played and recorded together since high school, the group self-released a nascent EP, Bloom, and what began as a word-of-mouth following was swiftly spiraling into massive media attention, and showing no signs of slowing down.
SECRET COLOURS – PAINTING WITH SOUND
We recorded 12 songs in 11 days. We worked fast. We didn’t think about much. When you have something that feels right, it’s definitely not going to last forever, so you’ve got to do the most you can with it before it goes away.

Scott Lewis – The Case of the Shanghaied Songbird
I received an email from Australian writer/filmmaker Scott Lewis, enquiring if I would be interested in designing artwork for a new film noir screenplay he had written entitled, ‘The Case of the Shanghaied Songbird.’
METAL POSTCARD RECORDS – Sean Hocking
With the desire to showcase original underground and obscure new music, and with a nod to Siouxsie & the Banshees and anti-fascist, John Heartfield, he founded Metal Postcard Records in 2002.
WILL CARRUTHERS – CURSING THE DARKNESS – FROM SPACEMEN 3 TO THE GHOST OF BILLIE HOLIDAY
This autobiographical conglomeration of short stories is Will Carruthers' inventively assembled and aptly titled, “Book of Jobs" ...not to be confused with a book of his jobs, or The Book of Job, but better I let Will explain...
Musician Elliott Smith – A Short But Authentic Life
It is with interest that I note a new documentary by director, Nickolas Rossi about Elliott’s life, “Heaven Adores You,” released this past May. The film is currently making its way across the globe via the festival circuits, screening at the Stockholm International Film Festival this weekend and then on to Internationales Filmfest in Braunschweig, Germany and DOT NYC Saturday 15th November.
ALIBI INN – New Work Midnight to 5 a.m.
Venture two hours north into the Mojave and you’re in Twentynine Palms.
Glynn ‘NOIR’ Judd | It’s All About Individuality
I recently had the chance to interview Glynn 'NOIR' Judd. Having grown up in Los Angeles in the 70’s and 80’s, I have seen my fair share graffiti on trains and city walls, from ‘SABER'S illegal 97-gallon of paint LA River Project, which took a year to complete and was gone in a day, to all city tagger, ‘CHAKA,’ aka Daniel Ramos.
