The music of Miles Davis paired with photography by Saul Leiter. Heaven.

• Miles Davis – Blue In Green (1959)

Miles Davis – trumpet
John Coltrane – tenor sax
Bill Evans – piano
Paul Chambers – double bass
Jimmy Cobb – drums

• Saul Leiter – photographer and painter known for his lush urban pastoral images of street scenes in Manhattan in the 1940s–50s, and for his fashion work.

Found in a thrift store. Irresistible to this lover of words & paper and all things with mid-century flair. No idea what I’ll make with them, but that’s half the fun.

Just looking at mid century houses in Bakersfield for fun. Bakersfield lacks in good architecture. Fresno might be ghetto but there are a lot of charming beautiful mid century houses. You know Fresno doesn’t get the credit it deserves. I’m not a native from Fresno but when people ask me where I’m from I’m pretty proud to say I’m from Fresno. Don’t know why but I’ve always have favored this time period. I like house from the late 30s to the early 50s.

Watched another "Outer Limits" this morning, "The Human Factor." Gary Merrill and Sally Kellerman. Madness, a love story, a Freaky Friday brain-switch, and a frozen dead soldier that appears as a ghost. Oh and a nuclear warhead! All in 50 minutes, and on a budget of about 50 bucks. 🖤 This show consistently inspires me as a and .

Today’s estate-sale find: a 1966 Vogue Sewing Book. These two Stepford wives are ripe for the surreal collage treatment for sure.

Meanwhile in 2023, my only adornments today are a wedding ring and a “Covid-19 Vaccinated” bracelet, circa 2021. Not sure if I’m supposed to go to the PTA or a party. I choose the CAKE concert.

Two new works with two stylish ladies from a half-century ago. The charcoal painted background is a found object from an estate sale. I like to think I am giving it new life.

Meanwhile, the abstract gray sky above the woman in pink was a happy accident. I was playing with acrylic gel medium and affixing and peeling different pages. I thought I had what I wanted, then flipped the page over, and on the back was this haphazard, perfect mishmash of textures.

🎧 The for 's "Padam Padam" was directed by British music video veteran, Sophie Muller.

The Pink Motel & Cafe in the San Fernando Valley are perfect co-stars in the candy-colored clip. ❤️

Here's the track, cut to BTS footage from the shoot.

My other interests include of all sorts, music and music history in general, design and fashion, and 'low-brow art' of all kinds: , , cartoons, vinyl art-toys, B-movies, video games... you get the picture. I'll probably post about all of these on here from time to time.
Excited to check this place out!
