“Ya know it doesn’t have to mean anything it can just be something beautiful to watch” – Woody Allen (Zelig)

Dishes (approx 60 minutes) was originally made for a family member in Iowa and for my friends in Philadelphia. The former asked while I was visiting, “Why not stay here? What’s in California?” and I didn’t know how to explain what I wanted. When I lived in Philadelphia friends would ask, “So how’s LA?” I drew a blank at first, and then as always answered with small talk about the weather. Moments like these were the initial influence that catapulted me toward documenting myself and my company.

Maybe I am proud of my lifestyle and the narcissist in me wants something to display that. I wish that friends who don’t live in LA were here to experience it for themselves and not just my one-liners about the weather, but it’s not that easy. So for the sake of non-LA friends, future friends, sisters, strangers that are foes, and for strangers that are nice and want to be friends, but are too intimidated, I hope this movie breaks some spells or enlightens. It may not be the most readable and comprehensive documentary, but at least others who share my sentiments have a new visual to share that gives people an idea of this Los Angeles community.

My First Painting Ever

My childhood hobbies have included RC Model Car Racing, Putting together BMX bikes, Collecting Fangoria Magazines, Collecting DC Who’s Who Comics, Editing Home VHS movies, and illustrating dead things and monsters. It’s about time I tried painting. Fear of not making something I’ll like was my biggest remora. 

2026 UPDATE: Since 2012 this painting is still my only one. I tried to sell it for $100 in 2012. Each year since I’ve been adding another $100 to it’s value. It’s $1400 with today’s 2026 date.

The Art Becomes the Artist: Geneva Jacuzzi, Yasmine Kittles, Michael Nhat and Seraphime Angelis

by Meagan Boyd

At times, walking down the street in Los Angeles may seem chaotic, filled with different personas, egos, and odd characters. But when we slow down to carefully observe those who stand out, we become aware of the art in one’s style. It resonates in the way they move, walk, speak, perform, or create. Over the past few months, I have been examining artists who have literally become the art themselves and have narrowed my analytical focus to four brilliant examples of people who evoke the idea of conceptual style on so many levels: Seraphime Angelis, Yasmine Kittles, Geneva Jacuzzi, and Michael Nhat.

Collected Songs 2 – Download EP

Hey guys, I posted a new self-released EP for you to download free of cost. It includes a new collab with Barrie Rose of Tes Elations which is also the only song on here where I SING instead of rap (as heard on KSPC) and it’s produced by Andrew Felix. I plan on every release I do from now on will have at least one song of only singing. Enjoy!
