David Bowie to headline Coachella?

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, 1972.

okay folks, apparently at present it continues to be a rumor, however, resources are suggesting that David Bowie has been invited to headline the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, Ca. this april. he also, apparently, has been asked to play his famed album, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. I have never attended a bowie concert, so i can only imagine how amazing it must be seeing him live, and then dancing to his most popular (and some of my personal favorite) tunes. so the opportunity to see him perform this entire album from start to finish, well, you can only surmise the incomparable feelings. i'll just have to keep my fingers crossed that he will accept the offer and headline. and then double criss-cross my fingers, arms, legs, toes, hair, that he'll finish the night with his most famous musical contribution of all.

exhibit at the Hammer Museum, L.A.

Elizabeth Catlett, Sharecropper, 1968-1970

nick and i recently saw a woodblock exhibit at the hammer museum called Gouge: The Modern Woodcut 1870 to Now and it was overwhelmingly spectacular. originally designed by buddhist monks in order to reproduce devotional texts, the wood cut dates back to the 8th century. the exhibit demonstrates various approaches to the medium as well as visual content. some of our favorites included those by german painter and printer Emil Nolde. although we were reminded by docents, on more than one occasion, to "keep your hands 6 inches away" from said prints, it was difficult not getting super close to see all the fine details. nick and i both continue to dabble in woodblock making and printing. as a result of the exhibit, we have been equally inspired to try several new shading techniques. will post our new work in the coming weeks.

fashion mate

what a generous gift. i recently received this beautiful vintage singer fashion mate sewing machine, circa 1960's, as a gift from my aunt. i'm planning to take her to the local sewing machine shop (yes, apparently, those still exist!), for a proper tune up. can't wait to see what she can do...
