A few weeks ago, I posted a link to up and coming American-Japanese director David Takeo Neptune’s Onstar parody. Here is the beautiful new music video he just shot for the Ken Tanaka Band.

This is my new book, Everybody Dies: A Children’s Book for Grown Ups. It’s my first full book, and it took me about 14 months to write and illustrate it. It was hard work and it’s very gratifying to finally see it in print.

Paul Frank’s latest exhibit at Copro Gallery in Los Angeles is one of the most whimsical and fun shows I have seen in a long time. His characters create an imaginary world that I hope to live in someday. Maybe for retirement.

Gary Musgrave is a recent graduate from Art Center College of Design, and is quickly gaining fame as an illustrator and printmaker. He just did a great cover of Harper’s magazine. Musgrave is a DIY purist, and usually burns his silkscreens in the sun instead of under a lamp. His work has a kind of intimacy that gives you an immediate feeling of his personality and sense of humor.

David Mack is one of those rare comic book creators who has mastered both writing and art. Mack’s art isn’t what you will typically find in a comic book. He uses a mix of collage, pencil, ink and varied mediums to form his intricate and unique fine art style. His latest graphic novel, Kabuki the Alchemy, may be his best work yet.

The Clock is a 24 hour long film by Christian Marclay that was just purchased by LACMA. The movie is made up of shots from hundreds of movies edited together to show the passage of time.

It plays in real time, with shots of clocks that reflect the actual current time as you watch. Through seamless editing, Marclay somehow makes the mishmash of a film compelling and suspenseful. At the screening, the crowd erupted in laughter and applause several times during the 30 minutes I watched.

YouTube is full of hidden examples of Conceptual Art. In Someone to Sit With, a man named Joe has created videos of himself doing mundane tasks in order to keep the viewer company. One of his more popular videos, Someone to smoke with, includes this simple description: ‘Hi, I’m Joe. I’ll go out for a smoke with you’. Other videos include, Someone to watch you have sex, and Someone to have a romantic dinner with.

Layla Lane are one of my favorite new Japanese pop bands. Perhapds they are better described as international pop, since they are a Japanese/Western duo. There’s a happy, bounciness to their music that always makes me smile. The above video is directed by up-and-coming Japanese director, Ken Ochia.

Lately, I’ve been obsessed with You Don’t Get There From Here, an auto-biographical zine by cartoonist Carrie Mcninch. She calls it a ‘diary comic’ and writes a three column episode for each day. It is a slice of life story and she talks a lot about her relationships with cats, friends, art and coffee. Reading it makes you feel like you’re living life with her.
