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.

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.
I know it’s late but I just finished going through some pictures from this years Lakers parade. Check out the flickr for more from that day.
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.

We rolled out to Venice on Saturday night for the Rogue Status x SYRV benefit art show. Saw some nice stuff inside and outside of the store. Check out the photos on thebadcharacter flickr.
Thanks to our friends at Rogue Status for taking care of us, as always it was quite a party.
I got a chance to check out the House Industries gallery exhibition at Eames office in Santa Monica. They were debuting the Eames typeface and had some three dimensional examples cut from Eames signature molded plywood. If you dont know about Eames you can check out their site. I was given the full history by a nice woman named Roz at Eames office.
Also on hand was Fresh Pressed doing live screen printing of the new typeface while The Mattson 2 kept things jazzy.

Here are a few flicks from Saturday night’s after party celebrating the opening of the new МИШКА store in Echo Park. The after party was held at the Echoplex featuring performances by WAVVES, Best Coast, Andy Milonakis and 12th Planet. Special shouts and thanks to West from Rogue Status and his girl Mink for getting us in without any wait. Congrats to МИШКА on the new store located at 1547 Echo Park Ave! Be sure to check it out!
I had the honor and privilege of attending the Nike DJ AM/ DJ Premier Pack Launch Party in Los Angeles this past Saturday. The event was held at the Ricardo Montalbán theater. Now you probably know DJ AM (RIP) and DJ Premier, but do you know who Ricardo Montalbán is? Here let me refresh your memory. KHAAAAAAN!
Better late than never. Here are a few pictures from our ice skating and holiday party we had just before the holidays. Had a great time ice skating downtown at Pershing Square. Afterward we had a drinks and food at The Must just around the corner.
Better late than never I always say, so here’s a video from AGENDA that was held at the Huntington Beach Hyatt Resort in July 2009. This was my first time attending AGENDA and, from what I was told, this was one of the best due to the location and over all logistics of the trade show. AGENDA provided standard sized booths, which provided easy setup and a more unified look. Thanks to Jonathan at New Era, we were provided with VIP wristbands to an open bar sponsored by New Era. And of course, seeing all the usual suspects provided good times. Shouts to Dethkills, The Haunted Pangaean and LTd Productions.
Got a chance to check out the “Balls To The Wall” show in DTLA last night and was not disappointed. The show features new paintings by my good friend MIDZT, as well as a number of black and white polaroids by KalfLife. Equally impressive was the crowd that turned out for the party/opening. It was good to see so many friends in one spot. For those of you who couldn’t make it out I have posted photos from the night on the TBC flickr.
Here are some gems from the party:
Join thebadcharacter studios and friends this Saturday for a session of ice skating in Downtown LA. If you don’t know how to skate, here’s your perfect chance to learn. If you’re a Grinch and don’t want to ice skate with us, then come join us afterward for drinks and food at The Must which is located just around the corner from Pershing Square. All the details are on the flyer, if you need more info, visit Downtown on Ice or The Must. I better see you all there!
