In Love w/ “FriendsWithYou”

FriendsWithYou, Sam & Tury recently brought their bundles of magic, rainbows and happiness from Miami to Los Angeles! One of their first projects in their new hometown was a print collaboration with, PosterChildPrints.

“We will continue our mission to reinterpret spiritual acts and rituals, while designing an emotional body of work that impacts each and every one of you. Our clear mission is to redesign spirituality by building a connection to the soul, a connection with ourselves and each other, that is accessible and ageless. We promise to keep providing you with the most magical life experiences and we look forward to igniting this powerful light movement in La. Join us on our adventure to connect the rainbow around the world!” SAM & TURY

 

Having a Malfi’s presence in your home brings you everlasting peace, prosperity and a good dose of happiness.

“I am Malfi” depicts Malfi in his original pose. He is the great ponderer in his stoic grimace- he harnesses great power! In this pose Malfi acts as a protector and a super powerful wizard, who will bring you to your full potential. This Malfi does not play around! It will give your home the energy and power you need for total success… But always know that Malfi will bring you great wealth or death. Good Luck and Be Careful!

“I am Malfi II” depicts our great wizard in the smiling pose, his most comfortable gesture. He reminds us of the power of the smile, a laugh, and outright joyfulness. The smiling Malfi image is quite popular for empowering its home with lightness and a sense of love and understanding. Everything is going to be ok!

Visiting Jesse Spears

Jesse Spears…a great artist, lead singer of the awesome band Crazy Band, part of art collective ZenMafia, avid lover of old cars (specifically Monte Carlo black 1987 SS), has the best sticker collection of anyone I’ve ever met and she’s color blind to everything but Neon.

Poster Child Prints series, The Neighborhood Locals just released Jesse’s first print edition under her alias Jacd Hucares. Using Jesse’s favorite iconography…cars, the print is appropriately titled “Yor Car”.

I recently spent the day with Jesse at her LA studio and this is what I saw.

Ramblers Bone

Five days ago, Mikael Kennedy and Sean Sullivan completed the 6,288 mile, 29 day trip, they call Ramblers Bone. Both NY based photographers and veteran travelers of American highways, Kennedy and Sullivan set loose early April, beginning in Los Angeles, CA. They journeyed deep into the heart of the country, wandering east into the high deserts of New Mexico, north through the Rockies, into the wild lands of Montana, and back west down the California coast.

Many open roads and epic landscapes later, their journey is complete with photographs documenting it all (archived here).  Few important details that pictures weren’t answering remain:

Most memorable person met on journey?
MK:
Mick, a free mason in Butte, Montana who introduced me to the governor and gave us a tour of the town. I’ve got his business card in my wallet now in case I ever run into trouble out there.

Best thing learned?
MK:
“It feels good to say ‘I know the Sierra’ or ‘I know Point Reyes.’ But of course you don’t – what you know better is yourself, and Point Reyes and the Sierra helped” - Jeremy & Renny Russell ‘On the Loose’ (pg. 37)

Smartest thing packed?
MK:
My grandfathers buck knife was probably the most used

Best thing eaten?
MK:
Cima Beef Jerky

Song most listened to?
MK:
Desert Raven by Jonathan Wilson

Location most surprised by?

Hell’s Backbone, Utah
