Jimmy “Porous Walker” Dimarcellis is very talented and hilarious and I’m so glad others are recognizing this about him too. Please watch this great video about him from the people at The Creative Lives.

Megan Whitmarsh seems like an incredibly nice person and I really enjoy her work. Here’s a great video about her.

Marina Abramovic had the pleasure of sitting with my friend Emily Sogn at the MOMA this past Friday. Way to sit Emily! It was super fun watching it all happen live too. MOMA designer and good friend August Heffner took this great picture.

I’ve been a big Evan Hecox fan for a long time. He’s the talented mind behind the amazing graphics at Chocolate Skateboards, and it was really fun watching him draw in this nice video.

Please visit The Museum of Modern Art in New York to see and be part of Marina Abramovic’s amazing performance piece “The Artist is Present.” If you can’t make it there’s also streaming video to give you a taste of it.

I met Brock Shorno recently in New York and he makes great work, including this nice video featuring his friend Laura.

Mike Erickson was a senior when I was a freshman in high school. We shared an art class together and had the wonderful Marilyn Bradley as our teacher. I always looked up to Mike, and was excited to end up going to the same college as him too. His work at that time dealt exclusively with Michael Jackson, and it was amazing to say the least.

I just went to the Los Angeles, CA area to see my good friend Rob Tweedie, and I had the pleasure of visiting Family Books. They’ve got tons of great titles by some of my favorite artists, including Mike Mills and Deanna Templeton. I picked up his new documentary “Does Your Soul Have a Cold?” as well as her new zine “Your Logo Here.” (Image by Family Books.)

I’ve been a huge fan of Ed Templeton for a long time, both because of his skating as well as his art. There’s a great interview with him up on Juxtapoz Magazine’s site right now. (Photo of Ed by Tobin Yelland.)

Amelia Bauer makes amazing things, including these needlepoint pillows depicting car crashes from various films. (Image by Amelia.)
