What did you do Memorial Day weekend? I hope you made it over to the Italian street painting festival at The Mission, IModinari. I go every year. A week later... :) while the paintings are still fresh. Check out a couple of my favorites from this years festival.
Father Virgil Cordano passed away last May. He was a dear soul who contributed many great things to our community. This painting warms my heart because it depicts The Santa Barbara Mission, Queen of the California Missions, in all of her glory.

Santa Barbara local Bobby Martinez wins the 2009 Billabong Pro Tahiti presented by Air Tahiti Nui, defeating fellow Finalist Taj Burrow (AUS), 30, in clean three-to-five foot (1.5 metre) waves at Teahupoo.
This is a huge win for SB loco Bobby and we are all happy and ready to celebrate his victory this weekend!!!! 30 k Fools! Everyone from the EIGHT ZERO FIVE familia is just overwhelmed by this win and sends a huge congratulations and love. I have seen Bobby the past couple weeks at The Pit and his positive attitude and energy have been amazing! And it looks like it paid off!
Event No. 3 of 10 on the 2009 ASP World Tour, the Billabong Pro Tahiti survived a marathon waiting period, culminating on the second-to-last available day in improving conditions that peaked for a climactic Final.
Martinez surfed a near-flawless heat, opening up with an impressive 8.73 out of a possible 10 before putting his opponent in a combination situation with a Houdini-esque 9.73 out of a possible 10. Netting the highest heat total of the event, an 18.46 out of a possible 20, Martinez claimed his second Billabong Pro Tahiti and fourth elite tour win, establishing himself as one of the premier tube-riders in the world.

My friend Ben Kendall is the best artist I know in Santa Barbra. Very very talented to say the very least. He can draw like no one I have ever met and now he is making jewelry.
He is having a trunk show in Los Angeles to preview his line Stowellen. Stowellen is a new line of hand carved abalone and ebony jewelry mixed with real feathers by Benjamin Kendall.
Join for refreshments and a peek at the collection.
When: April 3rd, 6:30PM-9PM Where: Studio U, 1027 Abbot Kinney Blvd, Venice, Ca (directly above primitivo wine bistro)

This past Saturday, I took a trip up to Figueroa Mt with Kilian. Super irie up there in the Santa Ynez Mountains, and hopefully the flowers will start blooming later this month, as Spring is almost here. I also hit up the Solvang Skate park that day, for my first time ever rolling around. My digital camera was broke ass but it just came back so more posts soon to fallow!

SB Loco Trevin, AKA, t.r.e. who is hommies with my little brother Vinnie and his bro Toby wrote this sweet song "Be Free" Check it out here
It is the first known rap that is on record about Santa Barbara's Tea Fire. I am assuming. Very insightful, straight from the heart, SB Loco status, shout outs to a bunch of current Santa Barbara High School DONS FOREVER kids, and one special *Angel. Yall know who I am talking about.
