Blake is back!

I've spent a week in my new home and now that my Jawbreaker poster is up, it feels more like home.

And at the same time, a buzz has been spreading through the internet about Blake Schwarzenbach's new band, Thorns of Life! There are a couple videos on youtube from a Brooklyn houseparty. Can't wait until they tour!

Paintings, Posters and Propaganda: Artists Reflect and Connect with Community


I collaborated with RJ on this video, which is part of a series of events for KSW's APAture retrospective, called Shifted Focus.

One of the events is this panel I'll be moderating that ties in with both KSW's APAture Retrospective and Chinese Cultural Center's exhibit, Icons of Presence: Asian American Activist Art. The panel features visual artists (Nancy Hom, Leland Wong, Lenore Chinn, Choppy Oshiro and Richard Godinez) that reflect their communities, inspire movements, and envision new ways of being.

When: November 12, 2008
Time: 7-9 pm
Where: CCC Gallery
750 Kearny Street, 3rd Floor
San Francisco, CA 94108
Cost: Free for CCC members; $5 for KSW members; $15 for non CCC or KSW members
