After several weeks of preparation with Harsh and 9 straight days of intense/hard work by our students at CalArts (and our Teachers Assistant Diego), we are finished with Practicum! For our Practicum (Textfield Workshop), we had the students make their own book/mag/zine. In order to make a magazine in such a short period, Harsh and I selected 2 formats for them to work with, developed a Content Library and a limited Type Library. Students paired themselves into groups of 2 — each group was responsible for selecting a topic and compiling, editing and laying out their own 16-page Signature (112 pages total). We couldn’t have been more excited with the results.

Special thanks goes to our Teachers Assistant Diego Padilla, who went above and beyond to make sure the students kept on top of their work and contributed so much to the critiques, really outstanding — Also Stacey Hauge Printing in Valencia, who did an amazing job of folding, trimming and binding our Project. Dennis (owner), Bryan and their staff, spent over 3 hours working closely with us and (unexpectedly) did our job Pro Bono — we cannot thank you enough for your time, experience and generosity.

Dennis has 8 adopted German Shepherds — please visit the German Shepherd Rescue website for more information.

Reception tonight (1/23), 5:30–7:30pm at USC Helen Lindhurst Fine Arts Gallery.

Several liters arrived yesterday from our Patrón, Tequila Sarabia (available for purchase through I-20). Beautifully packaged, each blown glass bottle (Resposado y Blanco) of 100% Agave Tequila has a hand-painted ceramic cap which also has its edition number (109 and 642) — 3000 liters were produced, 1000 for each type (Silver, Gold and Añejo). Sampled a glass and it’s the best we’ve ever had — creates a euphoria and tastes unlike any other.

Eduardo Sarabia will be included in the upcoming Whitney Biennial.

For one month my christmas piece Flaming Log will be on display at Carmelitas Gallery in Barcelona. Si!

…off the press. Kudos to Sun, Zen and Hannah.
