Rocking On Your Dime

The highlight of my day was checking out the current exhibit at Redcat (at the Walt Disney Concert Hall) cuz it was....GEOFF MCFETRIDGE (actually it's Ed Fella and Geoff McFetridge, but the emphasis is on the latter). Ok, so the pre-highlight was actually finding FREE parking in downtown. We were aimlessly driving around one small street and contemplated about paying the 8 buck scam in one of those parking lots, but lo and behold a van pulled out if its spot and the gods of parking graced us with the glorious spot not too far from the hall.

Anyway, I've never been to the Concert Hall, but it's a nice touristy L.A. spot to check out right across from MOCA and a couple of blocks away from Little Tokyo and the rest of downtown.

So if you don't know Mr. McFetridge, you've prolly seen his work- Rooney logo, the opening title sequence for Virgin Suicides,"Bohemian Modern" cover design, zwan freebie stickers, motion graphic pieces for HP, shirts and such at Giant Robot. His artwork is simple and flat and often iconic. This exhibit explores his relationship with graphic design and how it's interpreted in visual culture and seen in the commercial world. You should definitely check it out (plus it's free)

Exhibit runs till April 6th.
