Top 5 Latte’s

March 7, 2011

Lately I’ve been a little coffee-crazed.  Latte-crazed to be exact.  It all started down the street from me about a year ago at Cafe Lamill in Silverlake, CA.  Lamill is a high-end coffee shop.  In other words a medium drink is $6.  Yes I know that’s a lot for a cup of joe.  But is [...]

homage to my favorite guitar straps (and a few musicians in there)

March 3, 2011

Red, white & blue.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen Willie in another strap.   A hole-y strap on Pete Townshend.  Tried to remake this design for a client once, unfortunately they didn’t go for it.  I might have to revive for the Copperpeace line or my personal collection. Brian Bell from Weezer.  Metallic Snakeskin photographs [...]

Sprouting! (a hippy-dippy tradition)

February 4, 2011

2011 is a good year.  And I’ve been on a major health kick since has begun.  January was no meat/ no wheat.  This month it’s no carbs after 7pm.  Plus I started back at yoga, hiking, acupuncture, etc.etc… But my favorite new thing is Sprouting!  You can pretty much sprout any grain or vegetable and it [...]

Snakeskin+Lanvin=sexy

January 31, 2011

So I’m already a little too into snakeskin. I’ve probably made a guitar strap in every color snakeskin available including metallic.  These wedges are what I’ll coin “Rock n’ Roll brunch shoes”.  If I ever have lunch with Bono, then I’ll wear them.  And if I were ever invited to a Def Leppard yacht party, then I [...]

Music Fashion & The Best Darn Guitar Case

January 28, 2011

There were two options when I decided to branch my designs from just guitar straps.  I could make other instrumental accessories, or I could make fashion accessories that were music-minded. Yesterday, my friend from Atlanta happened upon a company that made him think of me.  Thus he forwarded a link to Whipping Post Leather.  I’m [...]

NAMM Styles

Every January I visit Anaheim for a conference called NAMM (National Association of Music Merchandisers).  It’s a tremendous show that attracts people from around the world to gather in the name of music.  Well actually music merchandise.  But you get the point.  Below are a few people I met and highlights from my 2011 NAMM [...]

little dragon

January 13, 2011

What a cool band!  Swedish no less.  They were a great discovery last Friday at a KCRW Natural History Museum show in Los Angeles.  Seems that I discover the best bands through those museum shows.  Like when I met Yeasayer last February.  Another unbelievable band. Little Dragon actually played a second show Saturday night at [...]

My New Favorite Artist(s)….

January 12, 2011

Here it is. Choppy and succinct: DoubleDs.  Davey & Devin to be more personal.  They’re unbelievable artists. I’ve been tracking their work now for two years and loved seeing their latest visions.  The Kate Moss series is perhaps my favorite.  Check out a few snaps I took at the opening of their show on Saturday [...]

W November 2008: Angelina

November 1, 2010

OK…I’ve been sorting old fashion magazines, what else can I say? This photo of Angelina Jolie-Pitt was shared with W magazine from personal photos taken by Brad Pitt.  I just love how fun and raw it is– especially when most fashion mags are full of overly retouched pictures.
