March 26th & 27th marked the 7th installation of Grenade Games held by Grenade Gloves. Our buddy James ‘Haunt’ was set to paint live at this event, so we packed our extreme gear and headed up to Big Bear Lakes to join up with guys at Living the Dream. Spent Saturday night watching The Game perform. Later that night we got a pizza ordered to our hot tub time machine. #BOSSLIFE The weather on Sunday was perfect, not a cloud in the sky. We had the perfect viewing point for the games and spent the day in the snow. Thanks to everyone that showed us love and support. Great time.
Interesting site development here. Client required a way for his sales reps to display their product catalog while being mobile. We create an online catalog with the use of the CMS platform, Joomla. Catalog is protected by a user login/passord authentication. Product is managed by an e-Commerce structure within Joomla.
We are proud to feature DJAM.COM as one of our recently completed websites. {HTML, Custom WP theme}
On 11/11, our good friend James Gillette had a solo show “Feel Me Don’t Kill Me” at the Archrival clothing store, located in downtown LA. While I don’t have any photos of the artwork, I encourage you to visit the Archrival store to see the original pieces. And if you just can’t make it, here is a link to see some of the artwork.

Greg and I spent most of our free time last week downtown at Andy’s studio, watching the progression of a piece that both Andy and James were collaborating on. The piece was for a show titled “State of the Art” which opened and held at Ek5obition Gallery last weekend at Pomona’s Artwalk. It’s a one of kind experience watching these two ‘work’; Mini electric dirt bikes, night-time LED laden photo shoots, random visits from friends and even a lucha libre show next door all came together to make quite the creative environment. The piece itself is actually 15 different canvas’ that were placed together to create on large canvas.
Be sure to check out the Flickr to see more behind the scene photos and if you were not able to make it out to the show last Saturday, here is a link to Ek5obition’s Flickr that shows the finished product.
If you frequent the blog then you know we get down with Ninjasonik whenever they’re on the westcoast. This time around they headlined the free/all ages Mad Decent Block party.
We recently wrapped up a new site for Pulse Recording and Check Your Pulse Publishing. They manage some very successful writers and music producers around today. Bonnie McKee, for example, wrote Katy Perry’s ‘California Gurls’, which was number 1 for six weeks straight.
For the site, they required a custom mp3 player, blog and twitter feed, social networking plugins and newsletter. The MP3 player was, in my opinion, the most challenging aspect of the site. It required that a separate playlists loaded based on the page you were viewing. This challenge was overcome by using conditional php tags. We are very satisfied with the overall look and functionality of these sites. Check them out.

Took a week long trip with my family last week to Yosemite National Park. It was my first time visiting the park and I am still in awe. After living in Los Angeles for the past few years, it feels great to get out of the city and experience something that is still somewhat “natural”.
If you aren’t aware, the Griffith Observatory, in Los Angeles, holds a “Star Party” on the third Saturday of every month. Fortunately for us the “stars” at this Hollywood party aren’t some depressingly self-centered celebrity. For more info on this monthly event, be sure to hit the observatory’s star party page. Photos are from the most recent party on June 19th. More photos on Flickr.
I want to give a special shout to the very lovely and talented Natalia Brutalia. I ended an awesome birthday weekend with her and Billy Roper. We spent some time at the pool and then made a visit to the Do Over in Hollywood. Natalia runs the spanking new MEOW blog over on TheHundreds.com. There are some great photos from Sunday, including a awesome picture of yours truly. Be sure to bookmark her blog because there will be some definite treats to come.

Last week was a week to remember thanks to a visit from Ninjasonik. Fresh off the release of their new album, Art School Girls, the boys came through to put on a couple shows out here in Los Angeles.
