We've been fans of Jeff Soto's for a long time. So we were thrilled to learn that Jeff will be opening his first museum exhibit on December 13th at the Riverside Art Museum in Southern California. It will be his last show in Southern California for a couple years. Here's the info:

Jeff Soto: Turning in Circles
December 13, 2008 – February 21, 2009
Reception: Saturday, Dec 13, 2008 6-9pm public reception.
Riverside Art Museum
3425 Mission Inn Ave.
Riverside, CA 92501
(951) 684-7111

Age: 33
Hometown: Fullerton, CA
Where do you now live?: Riverside, CA
Where would you most like to live?: We are an hour from Los Angeles so it would be nice to move closer at some point. My wife and I always talk about moving to Oregon but we have a ton of family and friends here. Plus the weather is nice so I don't see us leaving any time soon.
Who was your first "hero" in life?: Kind of embarrassing but the first person I remember thinking was heroic was Luke Skywalker. And I remember thinking my dad was pretty heroic. He had fishing and art skills.
What is your favorite thing to do on your day off from work?: I really need a week off at this point. I'd probably spend it with my wife and daughter, maybe we'd go to the zoo or something, maybe go feed ducks at the park. Something simple. And I'd get a nap in the afternoon. Just a nice lazy day.
What is your favorite color?: A mixture of Burnt Umber and Pthalo blue- it makes beautifully different shades of grey.
Who (or what) do you love?: The easy answer is my wife and daughter. But there's so many beautiful things in the world to love- looking at the stars, the smell of Ultra Flat Black, climbing a mountain, ice cream, jumping into the water on a sweltering day, anything that overwhelms the senses with goodness.

Who and/or what are some of your influences?

In high school I was looking at a lot of Impressionists and NY graffiti writers. Then in college I discovered hundreds- thousands of artists, and by now I'm a fan of so many. If I had to narrow it down to the ones who influenced me most, probably the Clayton Brothers who I had as teachers, Rich Jacobs, Van Gogh, the English illustrator Patrick Woodroffe, Mear, Seen, some of the surrealists like Max Ernst, Frida Kahlo, probably throw Hayao Miyazaki into the mix as well.

Wooster: What other artists do you most admire?

I'm drawn to artists that do their thing and do it well. Kinsey is making some incredible art these days. Dave Choe is nuts. Travis Millard... Maya Hayuk... Mark Ryden is always doing his thing well. AlexOne.. Esther Pearl Watson, Monica Canilao.. there's a lot of great art coming up..

Wooster: How would you describe your art to someone who could not see it?

Lots of colors, fragmented imagery, tight rendering mixed with randomness and mark making. I am starting to get much looser, which is how I painted when I started out so things are coming full circle somehow.

Wooster: What other talent would most like to have?

I always tell my wife I'd trade all my visual art skills to be a badass acoustic guitar player. I just want to sing songs around the campfire. In reality I wouldn't trade what I have.

Wooster: What do you fear the most?

I used to really fear getting caught for graffiti. When I was younger the rumor was that La eMe, which is the Mexican Mafia, would chop off your pointer finger if you were in prison for graffiti. Especially if you were a white boy. That really used to freak me out, but I found out later it was untrue. I think now that I have a daughter the big fear is that something happens to her, or that I die early and miss seeing her grow up. Probably the same fear all parents have.

Wooster: What is your greatest ambition?

Usually I have some idea of where I'm headed with my art but right now I have no idea. I'm just happy to be making some things and hope I can keep on doing that.

^_^

Par l'intermédiaire d'un communiqué de presse commun, RIM et Bouygues Télécom ont annoncé l'arrivée du smartphone BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 dans l'Hexagone. Il s'agit du premier terminal à clapet de la société canadienne.

definitely an inflammatory subject, but what the hell, might as well...

waiting for transit this evening, trying to reply emails and i realized how much harder it was versus trying to do the same task on a pearl...

obviously the aspects that have been done to death don't need more commentary (lack of search, lack of cut and paste) but the fact that some of my emails just weren't sending was just too much and unacceptable...

yes, after reading the last line many of you will take me for an uniformed moron who doesn't understand what makes email work on a device and what doesn't...fair enough...but i'm telling y
