Short Doc
So about 2 Years ago Marsea from New Image art told me a guy named Gavin wanted to shoot a short documentary about my art and the preparation effort for my first solo show at New Image. Gavin and I hung out, went to the zoo, surfed, partied, ate and worked together for a few months before the show. I hadn’t heard anything from Gavin since then and had not actually watched the little documentary until just now. I guess I felt a but weird watching it for some reason…I dont know….is that wierd? Anyway its great and Im super happy for Gavin and his brand new website“The Creative Lives”. He will be posting more short docs too; Barry McGee, Megan Whitmarsh, Porus Walker, Mark Dean Veca and New Image Art!
back top TOMORROW’S TULIPS TOUR DATES
In celebration of Tomorrows Tulips new Tired EP they will be performing select dates in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne Australia, along with two select dates in Tokyo. Check out their new video for Casual Hopelessness directed by Jack Coleman.
“Casual Hopelessness” offers a sort of confession to the pop world, along for the ride to the endless party ironically shouting “will it ever work from this view on the couch.” An anthem that at times feels weak as a demo and as sarcastic as everyone the song is about. The Tired E.P. was recorded December 2009 by Mike Mchugh at the distillery studio in Costa mesa California.

MEGAWORDS AT PRINTED MATTER, NYC
Printed Matter is pleased to present an exhibition of work by Megawords, a Philadelphia-based publishing collective. Please join us and the artists for an opening reception on Friday, March 5, from 5-7PM. Printed Matter is located in New York City at 195 Tenth Avenue (between 21st and 22nd Street).
Taking its primary appearance as a magazine, Megawords has also expanded beyond the page to include a weekly internet radio show, events and performances, and a temporary storefront project space. This exhibition will offer an introduction to the entire Megawords project, including displays of all past issues, photos and work by Megawords and Megawords contributors, and other Megawords-related ephemera and inspiration. Megawords started showing up in the mail here at Printed Matter in 2005 and our staff was simultaneously intrigued and mystified. Here was a thoughtfully produced and visually engaging artists’ publication that we would have been happy to add to inventory, but we discovered it was not for sale. We started looking forward to Megawords’ sporadic appearance—both for ourselves and for our storefront’s free cart.
Started by Dan Murphy and Anthony Smyrski, Megawords has published twelve issues that have taken on varying formats from saturated color newsprint to stapled black-and-white pages to perfect bound offset printing: all given away for free. Representing the diverse interests of its many contributors, the pages of Megawords have contained subject matter ranging from images of urban landscapes and photograph’s of Hurricane Katrina’s aftermath to artist interviews and a facsimile vintage Stone Roses fanzine. Megawords’ publishing projects an impressive generosity both in its distribution as well as its advertising-free and straight-forward editorial appearance.
Ed Templeton: The Seconds Pass Video
With few exceptions, the life of a professional skateboarder, especially one as legendary and long-standing as Ed Templeton, mandates hours and hours—probably years of his life—in a car. Living behind the Orange curtain in Huntington Beach and spending years on tour with Toy Machine can only compound the time in the whip.
So, the head of the Transistor Sect used photos shot from a car as the theme of his latest art show, The Seconds Pass. Hear him explain how he got the name for the show from Mike Vallely, the story behind some of the pieces and more, just before the opening night. The exhibit runs until April 3rd at the Roberts & Tilton Gallery.
Video filmed and edited by Chris Thiessen.

The RVCA Artist Network Program, commonly referred to as the ANP, is an ongoing program which aims to showcase the talent of accomplished as well as unknown artists who inspire our generation and push the boundaries of creativity; providing something of substance and culture.
To RVCA, an artist is not someone who just paints a picture, or writes a song, but someone who is dedicated to sharing with the world their life, emotions and soul through innovative and creative ideas. RVCA and the ANP were developed to shake the very foundations of the business, by giving back to the artists and providing a voice for their creative growth. -
