NEU FISH!

Just stumbled upon this documentary of Jean-Michel Basquiat.
He looks so happy and nonchalant.
Youth.

Cinéma vérité style. 1969

Mostly considered an anti-drug film, it was made for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The film follows its protagonist, Donny B, a young black man who appears to be a heroin addict, as he makes his way through the cruel ghettos of New York City… Through the run time of 14 minutes, a blues-like tune plays over the footage and voice-overs, with vocals that come in and out during the film, narrating Donny B as he does wrong.

It is that collaborative process and the input of other people and trying something you haven’t done before that takes you somewhere you’ve never been before and that’s kind of exciting.

Sabrina! I got the hang out with an ooold best friend yesterday. She was down here visiting her mom (who I also totally love and also happens to be president, along with her hubby, of an artist’s society in Claremont, CA). Her mom exercises minimal americana/ asian-influenced design skills like noo other in her beautiful home, sorry no pics! But Sabby works/lives in SF/Oaktown, wins dance competitions, occasionally DJs the burgeoning SF soul nights, passionately interns at the Eviction Defense Collaborative, and plans on going to law school sometime next year. She’s got a lot of heart and a whole lot of soul. Watch out world.

Check out her newly born blog here.
