My friend and amazing photographer Mike Muller has a show opening Thursday. I’ve never worked with a photographer more committed to getting the shot, no matter how dangerous or strenuous. Check out his show if you can.

Same situation, different perceptions
My friend Laura Dawn from Move On sent this to me. I should add that Laura was instrumental in the Manifest Hope gallery in Denver. Many thanks to Laura an Move On. The hypocrisy revealed by the semantic manipulation below is food for thought. Every time I’ve heard Palin speak I’ve been baffled by her lunacy and my pain can only be offset by humming James Brown… “like a dull knife that just ain’t cuttin’, she’s just talkin’ loud, but ain’t sayin’ nuthin'” Can we please make a case for sanity this election?

things to do in denver…
Other than being arrested by some overzealous “Riot Control” reserve warriors, my experience at the DNC and Manifest Hope art show in Denver was stellar. Despite brief incarceration, me, my assistant Z Bomit, and Denver locals Scott Lefavor and Nik Harrington managed to crush the streets with posters. We did not waste a minute, and got on the plane back to LA covered in wheat paste.
The Party for Manifest Hope was Amazing. We closed the block off and had The Silver Sun Pickups, The Cold War Kids, Death Cab For Cutie, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and DJ Z-Trip play. Sarah Silverman performed stand up comedy. All of the artists and musicians made the whole project amazing… thank y’all. I was so happy with our event that I did not even get that pissed about all the bootlegs of my Obama image. All is forgiven if Obama wins, but if you want an Obama shirt, buy one of the legit Obey versions from Urban Outfitters or another Obey retailer, because ALL the money goes into more Obama posters and stickers for swing states. Thanks for giving a shit.
