But I think we’ve done alright making this place shine. About 5 weeks ago we picked up a modest and somewhat crappy little warehouse in downtown LA. The neighborhood is colorful, the space ample and we’ve got a private parking lot for early evening jam sessions & late night BBQ’s. The inside needed a grenade, but we opted for grinding the floors, stripping the walls and some paint. Now it’s home. We’re up and running, casting and all in full effect.

It was a bash in grand style, replete with drink, beauties and familar faces. I’ll let the pictures tell this story. But please feel free to stop by the shop to recreate the fun the next time you’re in the Mirage. And get yourself some GOOD ART. Tell ‘em JW sent you and you might get a gratis swill with purchase.

They’re illegal to carry and usually hard to buy, but they’re just so cool. I’ve a good few rarities and a bunch of beautiful handmade autos, but I’ve always been missing that perfect example of the movie-style Italian spring steel. Until now. My friend Eddie just sent me this amazing gift. Available from Walt at Lantana Knives. The story goes that Walt convinced the original company making these beauties to fire production up again, and to use better hardware than the originals. This sucker is heavy and opens with great force. There really is nothing like a good switchblade… save for maybe your favorite brass knuckles from the Forties (GAH version coming soon).

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!

After ages of wanting the best in hi fidelity for the road, I discovered Ultimate Ears. Snoop around their site and you’ll see they’re the best in the sound game, their in-ear monitors are used by the greatest music makers. Well, Rach set me up to get a pair made for my birthday. By the time I got down there they’d done a bit of snooping of their own and found out a bit about GOOD ART. Turns out we’ve got a lot in common and the result is we agree that our two groups compliment eachother. Now available, if you know to ask, any of their custom in-ear monitors can be adorned with GOOD ART HLYWD Rosettes in gold or silver. We’ve done a few pairs so far and they’re pretty sick. The Silver ones add about $215 to the price, gold as quoted. Just drop them them a line and ask for Brad Jensen in Custom Sales e-mail or 949-502-8349 and tell him you want the GOOD ART HLYWD Special. Haven’t done them yet, but I think the Round GA Skull would be bitchen too.
