Downtown Art Walk & In N Out Burger
It’s been a while since I been to the Downtown LA Art Walk, and it’s not quite what it used to be. It used to be a lot of interesting art. Now it feels like it’s been a little commercialized with companies sending out girls to give out free samples of sodas.
Food truck stop!
We didn’t stay downtown for that long before we headed back to the beloved Culver City.
I live across the street from an In n Out Burger, which is considered to be the best fast food restaurant according to the ones who knows. I’m not a fan of fast food, but since it’s THE fast food chain, we stopped by on the way home for a shake.
Erik got the privilege to go order a burger for himself and 3 milkshakes.
He came back all happy with 3 extra shakes – they’d forgotten they’d already given him three, so he was given three extras! Ok, maybe I am starting to like In n Out Burger.
Disneyland
It’s been 7 or 8 years since I last went to Disneyland, and I’ve been wanting to go back for quite some time. Not because I liked it so much, I think I just wanted some sort of confirmation that it’s not really my thing.
I am not a big fan of roller-coasters, cotton candy or overpriced hotdogs, but there’s plenty of other things to do. We got to learn how to draw Tigger, I failed miserable. I still dont know how I passed my Drawing For Communication class.
My friends tricked me into doing the Tower of Terror. I thought it was gonna be a scary place where you walked around getting scared by freaky people. Didn’t know it was just gonna be an elevator that was going up and down in a really high speed. All I could think of was “do not throw up, do not throw up, do not throw up”.
The real reason we went down to Anaheim and Disneyland was really to get an autograph from Martin who had an artist signing at the WonderGround Gallery.
His stuff displayed at the gallery.
On the way home we realized I had a flat tire on the car I’ve been holding hostage since January – now I am gonna have to find time to fix that…
Graphic Design at the Hammer
Hammer put on a Graphic Design Exhibit, and Thursdays are free so I had to go check it out!
Martin Hsu Pop Up Shop
Martin open up a pop up shop at JapanLA on Melrose today, we swung by to check it out and give our support!
Post It Show 8
We headed over to Sawtelle for some ramen, but we got there easy so we stopped by the GR2 and the Post It Show 8.
I am pretty sure this Mats dude is a Swede…

Wedding
My friends are getting married! I have to admit that I have been very lazy with my camera lately, and today was not an exception. Wedding was tons of fun though and we got really cool party favors – custom made coasters!
Stanley Kubrick at LACMA
LACMA have had a Stanley Kubrick exhibit up for a while I went to check it out today.
Super inspirational! I should go check out more exhibitions!
Levitated Mass
I went to see Andrew Byron speak about 3D typography at the A+D Museum, it was super inspirational!
The museum also had a student typography exhibit that was really cool!
After the typography event, we walked over to LACMA to see the Levitated Mass, they had some kind of event at LACMA with a lot of people – that apparently could not read.
The famous Levitated Mass – a hugh rock!
Taken from the LACMA website: Levitated Mass by artist Michael Heizer is composed of a 456-foot-long slot constructed on LACMA’s campus, over which is placed a 340-ton granite megalith. The slot gradually descends to fifteen feet in depth, running underneath the boulder. As with other works by the artist, such as Double Negative (1969), the monumental negative form is key to the experience of the artwork.
Here’s a video of the mass being transported into the Museum.
