next project: CAULFIELD’S…

i’m currently busting my chops on a new project which i’m totally passionate about. last month i jumped ship from working with the standard hotels and now am working with the thompson hotel in beverly hills as their culture director. phase one of my role starts this week with the soon-to-be open CAULFIELD’S restaurant (named after j.d salinger’s hero from ‘catcher in the rye’, holden caulfield). interestingly, the news made it to this week’s issue of the hollywood reporter…like the motto goes: “we’re here for a good time not a long time.”


do it for keith!!

keith haring traveled down under in 1984 and painted this mural in collingwood as a gift to the city of melbourne. the mural is currently in a sorry state, as we say in oz, “its positively gone to the dogs.” dear readers, i beg of you to help preserve this incredible artist’s legacy by going HERE and simply signing a petition to ensure its maintenance, according to the wishes of the late artist and the keith haring foundation. it takes no more than a matter of seconds to send the email. do it for keith!
