He works with collagen and he glues structures and pieces of fabric from old asian dresses in his pictures. He works with his father in a studio in clan dale / los angeles. here you can browse his website.
Soon i will post some artworks of his father. Stay tuned.
julian leBallister
It is time to say julian le ballister a big thank you. He has cgiven us a great entree to los angeles. We know julian for abou 20 years – back then he had studied in frankfurt and worked as a model and we had often booked him for advertising shoots . since nearly 17 years he is back in the united states and now he lives in los angeles. Great to pick up a friendship seamlessly after all these years.
reagan library
a special kind of mausoleum museum is deticated to the american presidents. Reagan’s stands on a hill nearby los angeles and for us it was an interesting american perspective back to the -also german- history.
I was thrilled about the prevention of the airforce one plane together with the boing´s “state of the art technology” of the year1972.
len aaron
Here are some quotes by los angeles based artist len aaron: (by the way, len is 99 years old)
The joy of life is living it.
Stay away from humans, they’re the worst kind.
Don’t spend time watching the pebbles under your feet, you’ll miss what’s in front of you.
Take the rest of the day off.
I can’t hear, I can’t see, I have to go by feel.
To be valuable at work, make sure that you prove yourself to be as valuable as your parking spot.
Every business…etc. needs at least, but only, one asshole/bastard. Or else it will all fall apart.
I smoke too much, I drink too much…what else do I do too much? I don’t remember…
Ahhh, another day in paradise!
Life is as beautiful as you make it.
How would you know a good day if you never had a bad one?
I have a fabulous memory, but a lazy mind.
I remember my name because I keep it on the tag in my shirt. The other side of the tag says ‘return to goodwill’.
joshua tree national park
We had visited the joshua tree national park and i wondered where this bilical name came from. Wikipedia has an answer:
„The name Joshua tree was given by a group of Mormon settlers who crossed the Mojave Desert in the mid-19th century. The tree’s unique shape reminded them of a Biblical story in which Joshua reaches his hands up to the sky in prayer.“
„Yucca brevifolia is a plant species belonging to the genus Yucca. It is tree-like in habit, which is reflected in its common names: Joshua tree, yucca palm, tree yucca, and palm tree yucca.[2][3][4][5]
This monocotyledonous tree is native to southwestern North America in the states of California, Arizona, Utah, and Nevada, where it is confined mostly to the Mojave Desert between 400 and 1,800 m (1,300 and 5,900 ft) elevation. It thrives in the open grasslands of Queen Valley and Lost Horse Valley in Joshua Tree National Park“
