Famed writer Soudesu Tawaraya immortalized GOOD ART HLYWD on the cover and in the pages of his latest comic book with the use of the Spanish Cross. That’s a black-belt homage, thank you!

Adrian slows down in HLYWD

JW & Adrian.4crop.2.665On vacation from being one of the fastest men alive, Formula One driver Adrian Sutil spent some time in LA this last week. Sunshine, fat-arse foods, California girls… it didn’t take much to drag him away from Switzerland for a week. Adrian drove the 2009 season for Force India and he’ll start training again for the 2010 season in a couple weeks. Follow his progress this next season on his website.

Meiji!

Moto just arrived bearing gifts, as usual. It’s the simple things that make the day sometimes. Japan’s best gummys!

UNEMPLOYMENT IS THE NEW BLACK

Frank & Jan.1.665I got a puffy black bag in the mail today, the kind I imagine you’d receive your porn in… if you did get porn in the mail. This sack was only intellectually pornographic, a sizzling pile of Frank & Jan tees from our friends in Upstate NY. Well worth the wait, the shirts are great quality and clever, just the way I like things. And they came with stickers! Please check them out, get yourself a new shirt. Tell them Warner sent you when you order shirts and your package should arrive with a double scoop of bitchen.om

Top-Ten Keychain

A long-time staple of the GOOD ART HLYWD line, this is the Clip 11 Snap Key Fob. Probably sounds a bit arrogant and may be, but this is one of the best daily-use luxury items you’ll ever own. A real top-ten of it’s kind. Sterling silver hardware, super thick vegetable-dyed American Steer and the heavy duty clip 11 to hang your keys. This piece should outlast the stuff that your keys hanging off of it are meant to open.

The Deus is loose.

Deus-bikeTaking Sunset to the Westside today at about 12:30, I spied a slim and purposeful bike gliding a few blocks ahead at a coffee shop pace. I was in a hurry, in the same direction, and gave chase. When I got to the light at Crescent Heights, I was stunned to see a ride from my top ten humming at the red. Polished aluminum tank, bobbed fender, parallel twin powerplant and the requisite wrapped pipes. I yelled in excitement “how’d you get that here?!?” I neglected to raise my visor. The rider must have heard a Charlie Brown adult. Anyway, a few lights up he told me the parts were assembled here, but it was infact a Deus from Australia. Their bikes are just done right. Really beautiful work. Check them out at†www.deus.com.au, and let them know they ought to bring more of their sleds to our Coast.

New site live… barely.

I figure we’ve got a week or two of sorting this stuff out and adding the features that are going to make this site great. There will† be a shop, a gallery of our friends, loads of cool pics, this incredible blog to offer you a glimpse into the world of GOOD ART and a few other bits to delight. If you’re looking around now, thank you, and please check back soon.
