The inaugural POW! WOW! Long Beach is well and truly over now, and by all reports, it's been a huge success! To be able to rally together to support such artistic talent and beautify the city was an immensely enjoyable project. What a blessing for art lovers in Long Beach! Here are the final mural...
Well, it's finally over! POW! WOW! Long Beach came and went last week - with world class artistic talent descending on Long Beach to paint murals and brighten up some walls with an expert touch. What an amazing week! You can see a lot of the completed murals on the POW! WOW! Long Beach Instagram...
Ursula Liang is a journalist who cleverly saw the writing on the wall before the decline of the print world. She was right on time to pivot into filmmaking, thus getting a head-start on the journalism medium of the future (in my opinion, anyway). 9-Man is her documentary film about an 80-year-old Asian American sport,...
HEAVY DREAMERS is a collaborative film by Booooooom and WeTransfer investigating creative motivations, shot during POW! WOW! Hawaii earlier this year.

I can't think of a better way to get excited about...

They are also going to contribute to POW! WOW! Long Beach, collaborating with Jeff Soto on a mural at the LB Convention Center. What better time to get...
I'm quite the sci-fi fanboy, really, although I don't think I wear it on my sleeve. I've never been to Comicon, and you won't catch me masquerading as a Jedi, but I definitely grew up on Star Wars, Dr. Who, and Isaac Asimov books. Thanks, Dad! I do read and watch other stuff, but when...
Our future home, downtown LB's second oldest building, the space formerly known as American Hotel and more recently redubbed the Psychic Temple, has gone through more changes than a Black Sabbath greatest hits compilation recently. It's really exciting stuff - both watching the building transform into something beautiful, and thinking about being lucky enough to...

I'm a huge fan of Knockaround's awesome Class Acts campaign which raises funds for arts education and resources in under-funded elementary schools around San Diego. They're in the third year running now, and as always, they let elementary school kids design sunglasses! The winning design by 4th grader Evan Bui went into production and are...
