Silver Lake Boulevard under Sunset Bridge

One of the few pictures I've taken that I like the composition.

Got to try again with different camera and light conditions.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The link is to the outdoor extravaganza. 40,000 rockets went off.
The video is part of the exhibition indoors at the Geffen MOCA.
The image is from gunpowder exploding from templates made by volunteers.

50 volunteers helped with the indoor show, including my wife Mary Peterson.
The event took place Saturday, April 7th, 2012.

MOBA (Museum of Bad Art)

I hope to have the west coast version of this museum.

A curator has to have great eye to capture the essence of bad art.

You'll find great pieces here. I'm starting my collection now. 

Clip art on signage. Really?

Sometimes no art is better than slapping some clip art onto a sign.

It almost seems like they altered the chef's eyes to look asian and

that better be a croissant on the right side next to the coffee instead of dog poo.

Peace Press Graphics 1967 - 1987: Art in the Pursuit of Social Change

September 10 - December 11, 2011

I invite you to see this important show no matter what your political persuasion.

It is an engaging historical reference to politics, collectivism, graphic artists, pre-computer graphics,

printing techniques, publishing, sex, drugs and rock 'n roll (the last three are my addition, it just seemed to fit). The following eight posters are part of the 49 that will be in the show from part of my collection.

I was part of the collective the last 10 years of it's existence.
