Today I finished a holiday banner design for Drakes Erotica.Shezam!
I love that I've just designed a non denominational holiday sign for a sex shop collecting children's toys for battered women. LA is a gas sometimes.

We support this government
UNBELIEVABLE
It's amazing to realize that without US support, the Saudi government would be challenged to change. This shit wouldn't happen. But our government gives money and political support to the monarchy in exchange for a military base. They also issue a free pass to keep the neighbors in check as we see fit. It's all passed off as "respecting other cultures." It's funny how lesser atrocities were recently used to justify wiping out Afghanistan and Iraq. I guess if its JUST women who are being subjugated then it's OK with our government. I'm not sorry to say that I'm perfectly fine with disrespecting a culture that could treat it's people so badly.

Taser Parties
I just saw a segment on CNN about "Taser parties". My first thought upon seeing the headline was brain dead frat guys getting blasted and tasing each other. Hopefully with fatal or near fatal results. I got excited. How sad I was to find that it was merely a Tupperware style party for self protection. Oh well. I can only hope some bright young college student gets the same idea and actually puts it into action.
Maybe I could start a web hoax a la Jenkem.

B4 I wake
This is the final weekend to see B4 I Wake. I wrote the score and I did sound design for this ambitious theater production. Tickets are $10.00 and I would suggest getting on this ASAP because theater seating is limited. Here's what people are saying.
Monitors on the side walls display a wide range of strking video images, created by Donna Mathewson - for example, laboratory shots of a beating heart. Cinematographer Nickolas Rossi's periodic filmed sequences show a sea captain (Darrett Sanders) who shouts orders to a crew. The pertinence of these sequences is unclear. Drew Pluta's sound design, including rock music, enhances the creepy ambiance. The lively early scenes bring to mind the cheeky subversion that drives The Rocky Horror Show, but ...b4 I Wake quickly gets down to the business at hand : a stream-of-conciousness fantasy that's largely incaccessible. It's somewhat like Night of the Living Dead by way of James Joyce's Ulysses, an odd mix indeed."
"Barry Rowell's surrealistic theatre piece is billed as a retelling of Bram Stoker's Dracula, but the classic novel serves primarily as a springboard for a bizarre collage of sights and sounds. Director Ezra Buzzington and his design team have pulled out all stops to create a visually and aurally arresting spectacle, but the ultimate point remains fuzzy.
Rowell's premise is that the bloodsucking Count Dracula (unseen) has broken the neck of the imprisoned lunatic Renfield (Brad C. Light) - an incident from the novel. From there, Rowell attempts to imagine what might have flashed through Renfield's brain in the seconds before he died. Stoker characters come and go, including Mina (Grace Eboigbe), Jonathan (Ron Morehouse), Dr. Seward (Lisa Clifton), Van Helsing (Marz Richards), Lucy (Elizabeth Liang), and three sisters, played by Gabby Sanalitro, Julia Prud'homme, and a cross-dressing Joel Scher.

Read the review in BUZZINE
And from Flavorpill
B4 I Wake is for anyone who ever read Bram Stoker's Dracula and
thought the revered classic lacked a certain something. The dark and
mischievous minds at beloved Hollywood repertory company Theatre of
NOTE have figured out the problem: it wasn't weird enough. Also, it
needed music. Loud, sexy rock music. Writer Barry Rowell and director
Ezra Buzzington bring their collective experiences to bear in this
exuberantly macabre splicing of disparate genres. Think Phantom of the
Paradise crossed with Dark Shadows and maybe a little bit of The
Hunger. Best to bring some garlic, or at least someone to hold your
hand.

Matt Damon named the "sexiest man alive" by People Magazine
Fuck yeah! I was really keeping my fingers crossed for him this year. I know how much this means to him and I'm just glad it went to someone so damn hot!
Clever
So all kidding aside, I'm blogging now. I realise a lot of people take this shit seriously (sorry, "stuff") so I better get down to some hardcore relevant to the day and the life and the time information. I'm broke, I need to work. I need to eat. I need to feed the kitties.

Hey this is easy. Why haven't I been blogging since the beginning of time? Why don't I go work at an "Art company" with a bunch of cock smoking "high energy Rock 'N Rollers". Not that I have a problem with cock smokers, I quite enjoy to be smoked on occasion. Just not when I'm working at an Art Company.
