I Moved It

2010-01-16T16:06:00.000-08:00

So for the new year, in the spirit of consolidating and keeping things clean, I've moved my blog onto my own sever at evandileo.com.

Trying to focus a bit more on photography and music, as well as showing more of my own work that nobody has seen. I'm pretty horrible about posting. Trying to change that...

Stay tuned.

Nevermind what anybody else done

2010-01-01T11:14:00.000-08:00

More stuck in my head. Yeasayer. Describing themselves on teh myspace as 'Enya with BOUNCE'. Fully agree. All thanks to a music swap with Graeme before he left. So good, thanks sir. Also more pretend occult stuff. I like this one better though.

If you imagine wearing sweaters and snow, driving around denver and these 3 videos and their respective albums, you pretty much understand the last two weeks of my life.

Come On Over Over

2009-12-29T12:45:00.000-08:00

I dont particularly care for the video here, there's just not much going on. Actually, scratch that, it just takes forever. Really like this shot below though. Double exposed and fiercely purple...

The song is great though. Watch it just for that.

That Bridge is on Fire back from where I came

Unpiano HHSA Mixtrade

2009-12-18T11:43:00.000-08:00

One of my favorite musical muses and regular source for new records and bands, Jesse Pollock of Unpiano put out a great mixtape for the hhsa mixtrade. Jesse is an SF based web designer and photographer and contributing writer for Fecal Face, and started his own publishing house. He also dj's at the Attic in SF with Jay Howell (who put together probabaly my favorite mix of the year in the summer [which I probably also found on the unpiano/music blog]).

Needless to say I love Jesse's taste in music. A lot.

Download that thing now. Watch out for Sheila by Atlas Sound and Summer Time by Adam and Dan. Also Dreams (Fleetwood Mac) covered by The Morning Benders, a great Berkeley band I saw a couple weeks back opening up for Girls.

In fact I'm listening to it RIGHT NOW. :P

Universal everything MTV International Overview

2009-12-16T11:52:00.000-08:00

Great breakdown of all the piles and piles and piles of amazing stuff Universal Everything made this year to rebrand MTV international. Simply steallar.

I particularly like the walk cycles with fur bit and the dude popping with spaceship for a head. And the candy explosions... I also really like stuff so weird that you can't possibly relate what you saw with like 'words'. Good crazy fun. 'Oh you know the part with the walking biped and the hair keep changing?'

Drummer

2009-12-04T01:00:00.000-08:00

And so yes. All of my november was fully saturated with David Bazan after seeing him perform in Seattle. I could not stop listening to Headphones and Pedro the Lion, Control... but the last couple weeks I've moved on to this: Drummer.

I found a couple tracks someplace on these fine internets and I cannot stop. It's like twice through the record every day.

The band is Patrick Carney, the drummer from The Black Keys and 4 other long time friends, all drummers from Ohio bands.

The record is so solid. Not particularly technical, but good music need not be. The fact is the song writing is great. The drumming is obviously amazing, and the guitar work, though not complicated is very compelling in its use of rhythms. It's driving. It's powerful and its stuck in my head, mostly all day long...

Overall, Love. Very love this record. Excellent work, sirs.

Go over to their myspace and listen to Mature Fantasy and tell me you're not tapping your foot or driving fast...

Oh and the organ. Rock organ. I could fall over. So good.

2009-11-25T12:22:00.000-08:00

So at this show in Seattle, I was fortunate enough to have my stuff shown with my good friend Bobby and the mysterious and amazingly named Milton Melvin Croissant The Third who is an old friend of Carlos who he knows from releasing his music years ago on Spiral Galaxy, Carlos' record label. Un beknownst to ANYONE (please read as me or Carlos) this guys is also a fine and video artist, along with his prolific music. And best of all, he obviously has a wicked sense of humor.

Anyway, let's just say I'm a fan.

Gaia's Garden - This book has been continually recommended to me as a resource on Permaculture, and how to plant integrated smart crops that work together on almost any land in any climate.

Saturday and sunday in Seattle were spent clearing a huge blackberry bramble at Ezra's house and then digging a couple swales (trenches to catch water and passively irrigate the land below them), and cover the rest of the land there in green scraps, newspaper and straw to compost and create their own topsoil for planting in...

Seattle Trip Wrapup

2009-11-16T12:05:00.000-08:00

So, as I mention immediately below, I went up to Seattle to visit Carlos and just get away for a minute. It is truly an amazing city with tons of natural and urban beauty and great creative fun people. At least all the artists and and musicians Carlos runs around with. Seattle is unique too, at least in terms of my work in motion design, in that there are actually some big shops in dk and Fad up there which makes it a viable city to live in. At least without giving up motion design for print or illustration or something...

And as much as I defend and do really love LA, the energy is definitely different in Seattle. My biggest longest standing gripe with LA is not the smog. Its not the traffic. Its not douchey people (the city is well big enough that you don't have to run into them if you don't want to. And honestly, look around you, wherever you live there's people who probably drive you nuts. Douchebags exist EVERYWHERE) .Plenty of level headed fun smart creative people around my fine city.

The problem as I see it, is having so many amazing creative friends and it's nearly impossible to see them. The city is so spread out and everyone is busy working. It's a city for driven people. But these two factors together mean there are people I consider great friends who I only see once in a few months.

In Seattle, in NY, in Denver, in SF each city is central enough (and footprint small enough) that you can't help but run into your friends all the time. Not so here. It's okay. I like to imagine I could disappear. That I don't have to see people or keep up appearances unless I really want to. But its nice to be reminded that there are friends and people around, just waiting to pull some hijinks or grab some food or see a film.

Anyway, end rant.

So I stumbled yesterday on some really nice inspiring zines put together by ANTI over at Issuu. They already have 8 issues and the work included in each is simply stellar. Have a browse through. I especially enjoyed number two, the 'Couples Issue'. All the images shown here are taken from that issue.

Coincidentally, the talented Stephen Kelleher is listed as a Core Editor for ANTI. Some of his stuff as well as mine can be found on sale at Quality Goods Inc.

As for the latest issue of my zine Break Your Tapedeck, everyone still has some work to go, but I'm getting quite excited to see what everyone will come up with and to actually see the finished product...

Showing now at the Pasadena Museum of California Art
May 31-Sept 20

Benny Chan has worked diligently over the past few years to photograph overhead views of Los Angeles freeways during the height of rush hour. Using a camera designed and manufactured exclusively for this project, Chan has taken pictures from high in the sky from a helicopter and has rendered monumental sized prints. With his almost omniscient perspective, Mr. Chan explores and sheds light on the conundrum of traffic as a symptom of a society being unable to keep pace with its own expansion, while at the same time rendering a serene beauty from the chaotic scene.

We ate great, stumbled through Swedish, Danish and French, made a ton of friends and shot a bunch of photos.

While I've been slacking on sorting and putting something together to show my shots, Deanne just finished her's up and you can view a pretty comprehensive account of the trip day by day at her What I Did On My Winter Vacation blog.

Michel Gondry DVD premiere

2009-05-13T11:28:00.000-07:00

So about a month ago (april 14) Deanne and I actually made it out to one of the Flux Cinema Tuesday screenings for the premiere of Michel Gondry's music videos DVD 2. And it was awesome. Before the show, Michel himself walked down the line and mini interviewed a handful of people, I assume with the intention of 'putting the people' in the picture a la sweding.

Unfortunately, cool as it was to be a step away from him, it seems like it only made everybody he pointed the camera at a little neurotic. It caught everybody off gaurd. Really cool. Really funny. 'Oh my god I sounded so dumb. My answer was so dumb. I can't believe I said that...' etc. Everybody seemed to be saying after he passed their way.

Pretty fucking cool. Great short docutmentary about Ayako Fujitani as well.

Most conflicts in the world are perpetuated by peoples needs to punish those who hurt them and ultimately only hurt more innocent people and extend the conflict.

There is no simple solution, but I strongly believe that actively seeking peace and rejecting violence is the place to start.

Back Home

2009-03-20T13:03:00.000-07:00

So I just got back from a pretty amazing trip through europe for the last 3 weeks. Stockholm, Malmö, Copenhagen, Paris, and then time in London.

Had great conversations about art, design, food, politics, the environment and city planning, music and cycling; Ate tons of amazing food, stumbled my way through basic Swedish paired against smart young swedes who've had every episode of Friends on re runs and thus have nearly perfect english, Kebab i brod, Islands on the river, freezing rain, frozen river, biologique, ekologesque, naturale, dajting? 9 gigs of photos, tunnelbana, rer, tube, 2 overground international trains and one commuter, moss, spoke poor french, bewildered by british leftside driving and confused by keeping right and passing on the left for pedestrians which seems fully counter to the left hand driving thing, talks on the recent IRA murders of British soldiers, disambiguated UK, Briatain and England, Wine, Mind the Gap, Mind the Girls, Mind the step.

I have a lot to tend to with a move, a project and a new bike to build and a new reel to cut, but when I get some photos edited down, I will have a full report.

Soonish...

Updates, News And Whatever.

With a little time off I've updated my site. It still needs some work, and still some projects need updating. I still need to cut a current reel, but for the time being, here you go.

Also so all 10 of you who actually read this blog know, I designed a poster with some friends at Quality Goods Inc. Mine is one of 5 posters from other artists (Bran Dougherty-Johnson, Brian Gossett, Stephen Kelleher, George Katz and Myself).

Posters are 20x26 inches, two color silkscreen, signed numbered edition of 50 each. Pick one up. The proceeds from each go to a charity of each artists choosing. I chose World Changing as mine.

Gorgeous illustration work from Chelsea Greene Lewyta. I saw her work orginally on behance and have been a fan ever since. Apparently she's a student at Pratt.

From her behance profile:

Chelsea Greene Lewyta was born and raised in New York and is ethnically Ukrainian. Her older sister was adopted from Korea as a baby. Her parents exposed her and her sister to a lot of Asian culture and this is where the Asian print and Asian motifs in Chelsea’s work originate from.

Chelsea is interested in book illustration, including children’s and young adult, comics and graphic novels, fashion, greeting cards, and editorial illustration. She also has type, advertisement, web design and graphic design knowledge. She plans to keep working freelance while in school to help jump start her professional career.

Saw this on Clay's Blog just now, a snickers ad that fully rips the intro to Fully Flared...

The original for reference:

How stupid do you assholes think we are? What skateboarder or ad agency hack would be okay with doing this? Actually scratch that, the skateboarders are just getting paid to skate, but fuck that agency. Really.

Barry Schwartz talking about why incentives don't work, and what's wrong with our current financial systems.

This is EXACTLY the kind of ignoring common sense in favor of going by the rules that always got me in trouble growing up in every school I attended, skateboarding and beyond...

This thing is insanely epic. What's speed metal, electro pop, cute japanese side scrollers, biblical religious and occult references, and pure gore doing together?

Blowing your mind.

So apparently this thing is the 2 year long short film project of this dude Paul.

Right, but now wheres the accountability...

There's a ton of these, not in any order I can see, but I bet it was a half hour interview. Great stuff. I love it when things I love come together to multiply their respective awesomeness.
