I can understand things most rappers say
‘Cause rappin’ is my thing and I do it every day
I’m the number one rapper yo my name is Sven
I can rap more raps than a superman can
So I’m the guy on your radio also rockin’ to the rhythm in stereo
And you don’t stop that bodyrock and you won’t stop that bodyrock
You spell my name right I’m Miker “G”, M-I-K-E-R and “G” you see

Great site for the Getty’s exhibition “Illuminating the Renaissance”. Pan and zoom in high resolution the painstakingly detailed Flemish manuscript paintings on display – I particularly like the way the zoom resolves to a higher rez, very nice effect. The paintings themselves are incredible, luxurious. Illuminating the Renaissance – (Getty Exhibitions)
No Commercial Potential :: Photocollages “Images inspired by David Hockney’s panoramic photocollages. The fact that my own efforts are markedly less interesting than Mr. Hockney’s didn’t stop the process from becoming something of an obsession.”

Yeah, I saw the link at K10K

Wise lyrics from The Specials. This one goes out to the stamp-boycott-email-sender.
You’ve seen this, right? Well, if you haven’t – go get lost in the depths of quondam. It’s endless and full of delicious vector line drawings reminiscent of early 80’s arcade graphics (though, I dont know if that’s on purpose). quondam “an exhibition of one thousand three hundred thirty-one architectural drawings and sentences of which seven hundred seventy four are so far available”
New, very very ugly Taipei 101 tower to replace very ugly Petronas towers as world’s tallest building. Luckily, I don’t care at all how tall your building is – its all in how you balance your mixed uses, eh? Plus, the Q-Bert-esque Sears Tower still rules the mid-west. That thing looks liked it was plucked off the skin of the Death Star before it blew up. World’s 10 Tallest Buildings, traditional – SkyscraperPage.com

Well, due to work schedule, Big Sur is a bust for this weekend. Sorry Amy n Sarah. Instead, I will complete some gallery review postings from the past month, and if you’re lucky, some photos of clouds and light posts above LA. Exciting!
Also, to attend tonight:
Udo Nöger at Lowe Gallery – info
at Broadway arts complex in Santa Monica. 6-9pm I think.
Group show at Sixteen:One Gallery – info
Max Presneill (of Raid Projects fame) has a show at Kontainer on Wilshire – info
And see the post about Gallery 727 show of Civic Park Competition entries.
So, instead of working hard all weekend on getting the photos and stories from the past month or two posted here, we are going up to Big Sur so we can hang out with our friend Amy before she drives across the country to attend her residency at Skowheagan (spelling?). Ahh, summer in California…
