A little bit of LA architecture

On our quick trip to LA last weekend, we were able to see a good amount of art and architecture. In the outskirts of Culver City, in an area called the Hayden Tract, is an industrial complex that has been revitalized by architect Eric Owen Moss.
The place is amazing. We walked a few blocks that were lined with building after building of monuments to contemporary architecture.

Here's a couple of articles about the architect and the place:  New Yorker, Patch

Artworks for the Cure: Part II

We had an incredible experience being involved with Artworks for the Cure. Here are a few shots from the events on Friday and Saturday nights. Most of it is artwork, including my two pieces. Colbie Caillat entertained us on Saturday night. The event reached its goal of raising over 1 million dollars for the TJ Martell foundation.

My wife and I recently went to Palm Springs. She's an architect and I've always like modern design, so we spent a lot of time driving around, looking at what the city has to offer. We weren't disappointed. Here is the first of a series of modern homes.

Art + Teacher = Inspiration

Since graduating from Utah State University, I have maintained a close relationship with professors and fellow students. I still meet with several of them on a monthly basis for critique and it has kept us all producing art for past seven years. This month I am part of a show at Utah State the features the work of three teachers and our students.

Here's a link to an article about the show in the Utah State Today.
