Lucy Martin sits down with the dynamic duo behind San Francisco’s phenomenally long running and very-important Luggage Store Gallery, while Brendan sits down with the super young and radical Los Angeles band Mika Miko. We take some quick looks at a clothing store functioning as a gallery/youth workshop, a cool home-grown website/one stop shop for creative home items, an independent school for young artists in Italy and a surf shop in San Francisco that cares as much about art and music as it does boards. Perennial character/ lettering guy to the stars/homie to all, Jamal Duval, breaks down his 20 favorite video classics in our first installment of the Quarterly Video Revue; and we unearth some choice selections of raw creativity from the jaw droppingly insane early years of the underground and infamous West-Coast Cholo culture zine, Teen Angels. Thomas Campbell shows us how a studio turns into a temple. Jessica Hopper discusses a seldom-discussed post-motherhood creative road with comic artist Carol Tyler. Brendan talks to Aaron “A-Ron The Downtown” Don Bondaroff about his path from hungry Brooklyn kid to king of Downtown Manhattan and why if he gets rich you get rich too (Special guest Steve “ESPO” Powers sits in for added juice). Roxy Summers explains the organic start of her genre smashing/defining Oxy Cottontail parties. And while our cover star, Larry Clark, is getting so much-well deserved-attention for his new movie, Wassup Rockers, we talk with him about his early years as a still photographer/outsider, his role as an artist, and his inevitable move into film.
