San Francisco based artist / good friend of mine Jessica Wassil has launched her new illustration site Yelp Yack. She also has a new portfolio site up at jessicawassil.com. Yelp Yack is “a blog where each illustration is based off a brutally real, random, and anonymous Yelp review.”
Thirty Days NY is a project that I’ve been helping out on for months now (with our crew from We Love You So and new people) which launched today. Dallas and Graham did the heavy lifting but I am behind the scenes helping and adding to the amazing content with artist interviews, music, and more. It’s been magical to see this all come together and if you’re in New York you have to check out what’s going on there.
Here’s what Graham posted on Future Shipwreck about the project:
“Following the release of Spike Jonze’s robot love story, I’m Here, Absolut Vodka and TBWA teamed up with Spike and the rad dudes behind Family Bookstore, David Kramer and Sammy Harkham, to create a live gallery space for one month only in New York City. But more than just a gallery, it’s a performance space, bookstore and an artist studio– and all the events are free! Located at 70 Franklin Street, Tribeca, Thirty Days will feature weekly performances, symposiums, and showcases from contemporary artists, musicians, writers, filmmakers from all over the world.”
Dallas Clayton and I were tasked with creating the online presence for Thirty Days, and it’s evolved into so much more than a blog. In addition to providing daily coverage of live events at the gallery, the site will host loads of original content including exclusive interviews with No Age, Little Joy, The Morning Benders, Humberto Leon of Opening Ceremony, Sumi Ink Club, and many more. There are so many awesome people contributing stellar content for the site, from We Love You So’s Molly Young to photographer Bryan Derbella to Matt Wolf, the filmmaker behind the stunning Arthur Russell documentary Wild Combination, who’s been shooting a ton of original video content to the site.
Among those participating at the physical space are some of my favorite artists, like Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore, Ben Jones of Paper Rad (whose designs are all over the space– check out his bookshelves on the upper left of this post), Andrew Jeffrey Wright and SNL’s Fred Armisen, Albert Maysles, Shana Moulton, Matthew Thurber, and Lance Bangs. Take a peek at the full schedule and stop by if you’re in the area! I’m flying out tonight for the opening event on Thursday, which will include sets by the amazing Aska, Brian Degraw of Gang Gang Dance, and a psychedelic light show by Joshua White and cartoonist Gary Panter.“

“In the last year my practice has grown out of the studio in the form of large-scale rooftop paintings for Google Earth. This project uses materials from the waste stream (discarded house paint) to mark a physical presence in digital space.” (via Think Faesthetic!)
I’m excited and proud to have a photo in the first show at This, Los Angeles titled “These Friends” on February 12th 7-10PM. So many amazing artists and friends. View the image above larger by visiting thislosangeles.com.
