TOP 5 BLOG ENTRIES IN THE PATTERNS DEPARTMENT
An early prototype from my Home as Hat series, this entry saw a LOT of viewers. I explored fashion as a metaphor for shelter and was still hand stitching the photograph with cotton thread.
I was thrilled to see that a large majority of you were interested in checking out an exhibition I was included in back in October. Alimento, which was curated by Joan Agajanian Quinn at the First Congregational Church in downtown LA, included my photograph "Pie" 2014 from Asia Muka: A Day in the LIfe of a Rock n' Roller.
Also a hit was an entry from my woven portrait series featuring Anglo Saxons and their connection with music. Andrew Wells, a proper English gentleman and punk rocker shared an in-depth view of his life growing up in England and tales from having a front row seat to the birth of punk in the UK.
A true Bay Area icon, tons of you flocked to read this blog piece I did on my childhood hot dog stand. Growing up with graphics like these deeply affected who I am today. I love seeing that so many of you felt the same way.
And coming in at #1, the most visited Pattern entry of the year was a feature on my connection with Pulse Magazine, a now defunct rag I used to contribute to for Tower Records. These particular images featured the one and only Ms. Danielle Pimm from The Trashwomen dressed in a hot leather cat suite! Using her tower records bag as a purse, she was casually reapplying her makeup at a Casper's Famous Hot Dog stand in Dublin, CA.
TOP 5 BLOG ENTRIES IN THE TONES DEPARTMENT
There was a big turn out for the blog piece I did on LA favs The Savoys. Fronted by my old band mate George Garcia, his new band The Savoys raved it up the way only GG King can do. Although they are no longer around, these guys garnered a big following on my blog and came in at a respectable #5 on Patterns and Tones' top 5 entries I did based music.
Coming in at #4 on the list of musicians is none other than San Mateo's own notorious rock n' roller David Nudelman! This entry was a peek into David's early years in the South Bay as well as in indepth look at the bands her birthed and the pot he smoked!
Before she left for Oregon I caught up with the coolest chick in town, the talented and tough Ms. Tina Lucchesi! The kids can't get enough of her and have come back to visit this blog entry time and time again. Tina talked trash on every thing from boys to booze and coming in at #3, is obviously a fav.
#2 Altar De Fey
Deathrock at it's finest, the Bay Area's own Altar De Fey has had a long and storied career. Coming in at a respectable #2, this blog piece has had a huge turn out on Patterns and Tones. Now fronted by my friend Jake Hout (The Undead Boys, The Divvys), Altar De Fey continues to put death back in rock.
And coming in at #1 in the Tones department is the lovable and incredibly talented Johnny Bartlett. The blog piece is an interview with Mr. Bartlett setting the record straight on the origins of his first band - Wig Torture.
