ANDREW BUSH - DRIVE
andrewbush.net
To look at a person while they are driving, is to sneak a glimpse of their private space. They are in their bubble, and you, a stranger, see in to their zone. Your gaze is arguably invasive. The charge... erotic? Given the brevity of this interaction, as two objects in motion pass by each other, I think of my mind taking a snap-shot of the moment.
There is another theory, which I call the Shoe Theory: that the shoes we wear (or in this case the car they drive) communicate something about who we/they are as a person. This sort of object symbolism can be a purposeful message, or simply circumstantial. Either way, it is a fun game to play while hurtling down the highway.
Andrew Bush's on-going photo series is fascinating to look at, no matter how you plug in. Enjoy.

CLEARY & HARDING
The simplicity of the shot is a nice frame for the complicated choreography. I am enjoying videos that could be / are shot in an apartment. Also notice the creative digital composition in the beginning that makes the scene larger. Nice art direction.

DREAMERS INK AESTHETICS
Journey To Zero "Anticipation" / Dreamers Ink Aesthetics.
A magic combination of all that is possible and all that can be hoped for in story, image, design, movement, and sound. Gorgeous editing. Bravo.
Poke around some on the rest of their site. Their print/branding work has a good blend of urban grit with organic good vibes.

POP-UP MAGAZINE

Who says print is dead? It has simply transcended its physical body. One question though: how do I put this magazine on my bedside table to read at night?

BIG JET PLANE | ANGUS & JULIA STONE
It has been a while since posting anything. I was working on a solo drawing show here and in general living my non-virtual life. The two sides, virtual and online, they do interact. Maybe the web can be viewed as an extension of, an addendum to, the physical, the tangible.
I saw this video and was inspired to share. Directed by Kiku Ohe, it is pretty and hypnotic. The story is one most people have lived, at one point or another. The high school job maybe. I worked at a rural gas station out by a lake. Not much going on.

POLAROID IMPOSSIBLE PROJECT
the-impossible-project.com/projects/factory
There are moments where you can see something - see it, and know what should be done, but cannot. Or will not. Or imagine that the task is too difficult. Insurmountable.
I would guess that some of these thoughts ran through many of our collective minds on hearing about the immanent demise of Polaroid film. Well, some folks stepped up to the plate.
Check out their story and the factory being brought back on line. It is fantastic. Cause I for one know, and I'm pretty sure you would agree, that life is a little better with Polaroid film.

PING PONG
Alright, so I am calling this PING PONG - I am not sure if the process has another name. But basically I am asking inspired creative people to add one video to the chain. So the first influences the second influences the third. Enjoy.
This first video, THE TIMES THEY ARE THE CHANGES, comes from FIRST PERSON MAGAZINE, curated by Betty Nguyen.
Designer, dj, and man-about-town Andy Co responded with the ECHO PARTY.
Next Brion Nuda Rosch, trailblazing artist, curator and host, served up something fresh by CONGOTRONICS. Check out the hacked megaphone sound system.
Heading out NYC way, I heard back from dj Marcos Udagawa, who sent in this mind bender from EBN. As a side note note, I was home sick from school and happened to be watching tv when Reagan was shot - it's a strange feeling to see that moment wrapped in to this collage.

BLAKROC | WHAT YOU DO TO ME
Looks like some fun was had in the filming of the new BlakRoc video. Or the illusion there of. Regardless, the good vibes are real in what I have heard so far from the Black Keys, Mos Def, some Wu Tang folks, Nikki Wray, etc. I'm excited to hear the whole album. The fact that they have come out with a BlakRoc car is pretty bizarre/sweet/very 2010. Get on with your bad selfs.
