"Back in the game now.. copped me some weed now
My people bout to eat now.. shit's bout to change now
Back in the game now.. all my niggaz in the hood now
Better catch up now.. shit's bout to change now"
DAPPA - Gokudo Tattoo.
"Just when you thought we would fold our hand
Against all odds we raised the bet like we changed the plans
It was live on air but in between station breaks
I was holdin a pair and just made the table stakes
Split the demos, put insurance on tapes
A safeguard against the crusaders in capes
If I double down they say the Gods are sharks
If we win against the house they thought the cards was marked
We draw hit after hit from a royal flush menu
While the dealer promoted the full house venue
A spade in the club with the heart to wear diamonds
The high roller who got credit upon signin
They look puzzled when I shuffle, most of 'em stunned by the hustle
Recourse of bluff game's your muscle"

I dropped Jami's car off in Culver City for routine maintenance at 7am today..Thought I'd walk home....but because of construction for the Metro, the sidewalks were closed and I wasn't comfortable taking some of the side streets...so instead I walked west on Venice Blvd to Motor and took it all the way up to Pico..turning right to Avenue of the Stars until I reached constellation and pooped out...all along the way, I took photos of images that struck me..things I never noticed when I drove...I said "Good Morning" to every single person I passed by...most faces lit up and responded. I saw beautiful flowers and trees...a cat that snarled at me every time I tried to pass so I put the camera in front and took pix so she'd back off...James Caan, Maggie Lawson and JD Smoove shooting "Back in the Game" at Rancho Park and had some fun shooting water at the fountain on Avenue of the Stars. I made it 4.67 miles but I didn't have the last 3 miles in me...thankfully the Century Plaza was right across the street which meant I could catch a taxi home...a lovely morning.

Jamie-T - Back in the game
Take your brother down to the sea,
Have two’s on a cigarette.
Young sons mozy it happily
Learn facts on the soviet
A crowded room that holds just three, takes four do you connect?
And all this shit means fuck all to me.
Long livers in the sunset.
So crazy Billy Jay Jones, robs banks just for that shit
Man alone giggling so stoned, pick up the phone
Cos that money I leant you said was just a loan
You’re danger prone, with too much gel and a whiff of
dad’s cologne
Leave me alone,
Cos now you come down and you just go and lower the tone

I've seen this exhibit for months as I drive up and down Avenue of the Stars..but since I'm walking today...I decided that I was going to experience the sculptures on foot and take some pictures...
Gwynn Murrill the artist said, "As you cross Constellation Boulevard, you’ll see five life-sized tigers lounging around the oval pool of a fountain opposite the Century Plaza Hotel. These tiger pieces evolved out of my fascination with circuses and how wild animals are trained to relate to humans in an unnatural way. “The Five Tigers” were originally exhibited in a gallery setting, in a circle, looking inward toward an imaginary trainer. For this installation, I’ve placed them on the rim of the fountain, facing outward toward the public.
“The Five Tigers” were returned to California from the East Coast, where they had been on loan to a sculpture park. Initially, I worried that their weight would prevent them from being placed on the edge of the fountain, but with careful calculation we determined the fountain would hold them. I’m glad: They’re perfect there."
Gwynn Murrill is a sculptor who lives in Los Angeles. The Avenue of the Stars exhibition was made possible by an invitation from Carl Schlosberg, a private art dealer and collector, and was organized by the Century City Chamber of Commerce Arts Council. It will remain on view until January 27.

If I double down they say the Gods are sharks
If we win against the house they thought the cards was marked
Puse dos versiones de la misma rola simplemente porque uno no jode con el Wu-Tang Klan.

Gwynn Murrill is a sculptor who lives in Los Angeles. The Avenue of the Stars exhibition was made possible by an invitation from Carl Schlosberg, a private art dealer and collector, and was organized by the Century City Chamber of Commerce Arts Council. It will remain on view until January 27.
"The final piece in the installation, a group of “Eight Deer,” stands at the southern end of Avenue of the Stars. Seen from our approach from the north, three or four deer appear to be framed by the water spouting from a long fountain behind them. As you drive closer, more and more deer appear—almost a herd. This is my favorite part of the exhibition to view at night. The deer silhouettes become mere shadows, almost lost in the dark. If you’re viewing them during the day, you may be able to spot something that has happened over the year and a half these deer have been placed here. The spray from the fountain has turned the patina on some of them a beautiful green on one side. Although I could control the bronze so it doesn’t chemically react in this way, I like the idea that something as seemingly permanent as bronze can change in response to the environment around it. I like, too, that my work can change over time, out of my control. Sculpture isn’t like painting, where the color has to be exact. In sculpture, form is the focus, and color is at most secondary."

I dropped Jami's car off in Culver City for routine maintenance at 7am today..Thought I'd walk home....but because of construction for the Metro, the sidewalks were closed and I wasn't comfortable taking some of the side streets...so instead I walked west on Venice Blvd to Motor and took it all the way up to Pico..turning right to Avenue of the Stars until I reached constellation and pooped out...all along the way, I took photos of images that struck me..things I never noticed when I drove...I said "Good Morning" to every single person I passed by...most faces lit up and responded. I saw beautiful flowers and trees...a cat that snarled at me every time I tried to pass so I put the camera in front and took pix so she'd back off...James Caan, Maggie Lawson and JD Smoove shooting "Back in the Game" at Rancho Park and had some fun shooting water at the fountain on Avenue of the Stars. I made it 4.67 miles but I didn't have the last 3 miles in me...thankfully the Century Plaza was right across the street which meant I could catch a taxi home...a lovely morning.

I've seen this exhibit for months as I drive up and down Avenue of the Stars..but since I'm walking today...I decided that I was going to experience the sculptures on foot and take some pictures...
"...Just a bit farther along, back on the median strip, are two big cats: “Lying Panther” and “Standing Panther.” I originally made these as part of a commission for private clients who asked for a pair of “Florida Panthers” to flank the entrance to their Florida home. I have been intrigued by the cat form throughout my career. My body of work includes domestic cats, bobcats, cougars and panthers, cheetahs, and tigers. I seem to find never-ending possibilities in the cat form. I especially like to work with the motion inherent in the body and tail."
Gwynn Murrill is a sculptor who lives in Los Angeles. The Avenue of the Stars exhibition was made possible by an invitation from Carl Schlosberg, a private art dealer and collector, and was organized by the Century City Chamber of Commerce Arts Council. It will remain on view until January 27, 2014.

The artist Gwynn Murrill said, "The next piece is the only sculpture not installed on the median strip, and it’s a bit difficult to see from this side of the street, so you may need to view it on a return pass going in the other direction. If you look east, across Avenue of the Stars, where an off-ramp comes up from Olympic Boulevard, you may see the curved horns of a bighorn sheep. “The Bighorn” originally began as a commissioned piece, a part of the public art component for a large development in Pasadena. I chose the form to represent the mountain sheep that live in the nearby San Gabriel Mountains. The Pasadena edition sits on top of a fountain created from a stack of natural limestone blocks. This one stands on a limestone plinth amid some grasses next to a traffic light."
