My Favorite Five: Paris
Besides the obvious Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Arc De Triomphe, and Notredame, I recommend these 5 things that were highlights of my past trips to the "city of lights."
A Summer Weekend at Mammoth Lakes
Experience Mammoth Lakes for a weekend summer trip. Instead of a relaxing in a cabin with hot totties and hot tubs, switch it up and go tent camping and enjoy the sunshine under the stars.
SoFar Sounds Poster Design: 06.26
I've been doing Sofar Sounds posters for over a year now. I was very excited when this new project came up, to design a poster for Cold War Kids playing at Union Station, Los Angeles.
Explore Alabama Hills and hike To Mobius Arch
Alabama Hills is right off highway 395 near the city of Lone Pine. It's a gorgeous stark contrast to the Sierras just beyond it in the landscape. Large sand colored boulders and desert heat beneath the largest snow-capped mountains of California.
My Favorite Five: Maui
Maui is top 5 of my favorite places. I'm a beach kid from Ventura California, so the ocean is always calling my name. I've now been to Maui 4 times, and there are countless amazing things to do on this beautiful island, but here are my top 5.
Elmer's Bottle Tree Ranch
Elmer’s bottle tree ranch is just off highway 40 on Route 66. It’s a plot of land filled will artistic trees made from old collected bottles and found objects. Elmer inherited these bottles from his father who collected them and other antiques. He turned this junk into over 200 art installations free for all to explore.
Home Decor: Modern Ranch
We chose the theme of ranch style with a modern twist. I want it to feel rustic, but still have a desert chic appeal. Mixing blues with rustic woods and worn leather gives it masculine southwest appeal, while adding in some creams and a high contrast black and white print as the centerpiece modernizes the space.
SoFar Sounds Poster Design: 05.26
So Far Sounds L.A. had a show at MV Art Dept in my blossoming neighborhood of Mar Vista. I wanted to mimic the beautifully designed sign as you enter the store. Gorgeous geometric patterns of reclaimed wood, white paint, and steel. I am personally a big fan of MV Art Dept bringing murals and creative workshops to the neighborhood.
Keep It Rad.
I've found a new brand fave, Indy Brand Clothing. I'm loving this vintage western inspired "Keep it rad" tee that goes perfectly with my new Bailey Berger Straw hat.
Amboy Crater
Amboy Crater is a 6,000-year-old cinder cone volcano that rises above a lava field. I loved seeing all the plants spring up from the black lava forms. New life sprouted from the darkness.
Poster Design: Kayves
Kayves musical influences include Joy Division, Foals, Interpol, The Cure, and Tame Impala. The band is working on an EP to keep the momentum going after a promising start at Coachella.
Marlena Jarjoura Jewelry
An interview with Marlena of Marlena Jarjoura Jewelry. Marlena combines crystals with wire wraps to create gorgeous earrings, rings, bracelets, and necklaces. Living in a little off-the-grid cabin, she is inspired everyday by the nature that surrounds her.
