Raw meat, nudity, chickens, cowboy hats & beer beer beer. George Zupp is a self proclaimed Folk Artist with a distinctive style. His paintings seems to resonate in the side of your brain that likes to watch Dirty Movies and Car Accidents. This is the George Zupp interview by Chris Tarango.

Volcanoes, hot springs, glaciers, waterfalls, caves, wild horses & Northern Lights.. What better way to experience this magical world, than to road trip & camp around the entire country of ICELAND.
There are really no words or images that could convey how incredible ICELAND is. You will have to see it for yourself. For now, here are a few photos & a clip from a recent trip there.
What a time it was!

Read MoreRecently I had the pleasure of visiting Japan. I've been many times but each time tops the last. As cliché as it sounds, the land of the rising sun is a different world all together. My senses were constantly overloaded by the cartoon like city and sounds around me. The food & beverage alone will keep me coming back. I love you Japan!
I loaned some artwork to the Property Brothers show on HGTV. Then they claim they lost it. WTF right?
Read MoreRandom act of meaningless vandalism? Coordinated stunt by misguided amateur artist? Really stupid or Thought Provoking? I'm not sure about any of this, but here is the interview I did with Uriel Landeros, the guy that walked into a museum and spray painted on a famous Picasso masterpiece.

Today I got an auto-parts store jingle stuck in my head. It was a busy, fast paced day, and never was I near a television or radio. Still, somehow I managed to get this awful tune stuck in my head. Was it an internet ad? Or maybe I was in a public place where I subconsciously overheard it, then recorded it in my brain for random playback later. Either way, the jingle is on repeat in mind, like a shitty song you can't delete or skip on your name brand mp3 player.
It's kinda scary sometimes how advertising can infiltrate your thoughts. If only I were as clever as ZEVS, a french artist who once turned the tables on a big corporate ad in Berlin. Being known for taking on big business ad campaigns, ZEVS cut out the female model of a huge billboard and sprayed "VISUAL KIDNAPPING -- PAY NOW!!!" across the top. He then stole the image and proceeded to send ransom letters to the company, going as far as cutting off a finger to send along with his demands! The ransom symbolized a price for corporations suffocating the public with constant, in-your-face advertising... or something like that! Fucking brilliant!
