I am not usually a fan of art which is fleeting or the whole schtick of destroying what one has created. One of the reasons I shoot is to give some permanence to the ephemeral. But artist Nicole Dextras is doing some really exceptional work in vanishing work. I am particularly impressed with her series […]
I (and a host of interesting creative folks, including various other Blue Blood contributors) am on the Gothic.net Panel of Experts. The most recent interview question, which we both answered, was What was the first movie or book or television show that scared you? The answers are varied and fun. Some other Blue Blood notables […]
Well, it is May 22, 2011 now, so it appears the zombie apocalypse I was counting on has failed to materialize. I’m going to have to get some work done and do laundry after all. Glad I didn’t do anything too embarrassing at that end of the world party. I love California and California could […]
If you are in Hollywood tonight, the Pop-Sequentialism: Comic Art of the Modern Age art show is the place to be. La Luz de Jesus gallery director Matt Kennedy curated it and wrote the 80 page catalog. Matt Kennedy has pretty much the most encyclopedic brain cavity I’ve ever come across, when it comes to […]

The fabulous Lina Lecaro just did an in-depth LA Weekly feature on long-running industrial club Das Bunker. It is interesting to read the history of Rev John and Franck’s regular Das Bunker shindig. Maybe something about Que Sera in Long Beach is good for old skool clubs, as Das Bunker started there and Release the […]
Moses Avalon reported: In a surprise move yesterday CitiBank, who is in receivership of EMI/Capitol Records, after its parent company Terra Firma defaulted on their loans earlier this year, put the Hollywood landmark, known as the Capitol Records Building up for sale. Kodak announced the roll-out of photo tattoos. These work much the way T-shirt […]
When the Sucker Punch billboards first went up in my neighborhood, I felt conflicted. It seemed, on the face of it, to have a decent checklist of things I would like in a movie, but I instinctively lizard-brain hated it. Upon reflection and now that the uniformly negative reviews of the movie are in, here […]
