Hi everyone (and by everyone, I mean the tiny amount of people who still might read a post here)! Obviously this blog hasn't been updated in ages, however that is because I've been posting over on Blogger, continuing my open internet sketchbook that I started here. Lots of amazing music, cool art and tasty recipes to be had at eronrauch.blogspot. ( Read more... )

Hiya all! As promised, I assembled my list of izakayas in Los Angeles. For those of you who don't know what that is, an izakaya is the Japanese equivalent of a gastro-pub. A place to get tasty and booze. The food tends to be some of the least esoteric Japanese foods - plenty of fried foods, dried foods, noodle dishes and grilled bits, though most ( Read more... )

"Art is found between the lines of press releases. Art is found in the times between press releases. It is found outside of opening receptions. It is often unable to be documented.

Hiya all! I have a new round of my pragmatic New Year's resolutions to put up publicly so that I have to remember to do them. Last year this was a really helpful idea that steered me through all the choppy seas of my messed up life. This year, I've split them in to two categories, art and everything else. The art section is more goal-oriented, but ( Read more... )

I know I've been bad about updating my journal with anything substantial, but this summer has been bat-shit-crazy, and fall has thrown a massive workload at me... But in the contemplative spirit of Fall (and in honor of the slight rain that counts as fall out here in LA) I figured a good way to get back in to my journal was on a personal note to ( Read more... )

In honor of this first foggy night of Fall, I wanted to let you know I've made up a brand new mix CD. Hit me up and I'll throw you a copy. Here's the track list if you're curious ( Read more... )

Fleeting Projects has a very special collaboration by Gina Kelly and Nate Page scheduled for the Sunday September 27th. Their playful and multifaceted installation delves deeply in to the social dynamics of bar culture and the ways that we're all influenced to those little gestures and seemingly innocuous signs swirling around us. From interactive ( Read more... )

Hiya all! Just wanted to share a few photos from the last Fleeting Projects show - it went fantastically - a huge installation of work and tons of people. (And plenty of beer).

Next month we're going to be featuring Nate Page and a special guest!
