“So here is a simple gift guide tip: find a way to connect your product or service to those who might, for whatever reason, not be shopping for their mom this year. In doing so, you have an opportunity to acquire not only a customer, but her heartfelt appreciation and powerful word-of-mouth.”

Capturing Alex: Exclusive interview with artist Alexander Esguerra by kristen irby

Fri, 06 Apr 2012 20:18:09 -0400

kristenirby:

Though he considers himself to be “cursed by the love gods,” Alexander Esguerra is on a mission to help couples capture their love-on canvas-through his experiential art movement Love & Paint, which he recently presented in a show entitled “Vernal Equinox” at The Box in New York City. A week after the wild success of Vernal Equinox, Esguerra’s seventh exhibition, we met at Café Select and spoke in great detail about his life and work so that I could capture the man behind the love and underneath the paint.

Alexander Esguerra.

On being laughed at by the love gods…

“Yeah, it’s like the love gods said we’re going to give you this amazing idea and all of the love that you’ll surround yourself with, you’re never going to get it. It’s kind of fucked up.”

In regards to sex as a source of inspiration and motivation…

“I always get kind of weird when people bring in the word sex because originally the project was called ‘It’s Just Sex.’ At that point it was just sex but I realized there was this element that I was trying to ignore and it was me trying to dismiss everything as just sex. I realized it wasn’t just sex, it was love! I started to realize the difference between sex and love. Sex is an active love, whether is a one-night stand or just playing around. We use sex as an excuse to find companionship. I still think that we are all lonely. Sex does motivate me but love motivates me more than sex.”

His lovers are…

“My lovers? Special. I think I have a knack for weeding out the bitches, the fakes. I’m close with almost every girl I’ve ever dated or hooked up with. Very rarely do I have a break up with someone and we never talk again. We’re all very close and it’s not because of sex, it’s because I chose awesome people to be with and we happened to have had sex.”

Ardent fans, groupies, stalkers…

“Totally! I’ve been getting hit up from a lot of promoter douche bags. People come to the bar ((Miss Lily’s) more often, random text messages, a lot of Facebook requests. It’s funny! I’ve been accepting everyone’s friend request, not because I want to have a lot of friends, but because I want to have a larger network to advertise to. I look at Facebook as business. As this is growing I’ve realized that I want to keep my circle tighter.

Love & Paint on Thrillist

Love & Paint on Thrillist:

Paintings have long confronted societal repression of sexuality, from Botticelli’s eroticized Birth of Venus, to Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights — hey man, it’s 1504, a naked dude should be allowed to blast crows out of his butthole whilst being devoured by a human-assed bird monster if he wants to! Now you too can join titillating tradition, thanks to Love & Paint.

The West is Dead featured in Paper Magazine

The West is Dead featured in Paper Magazine:

The recent explosion of heritage brands can seem overwhelming. Here are two new Americana-inspired lines that stand out from the pack.

Friends Kaelen McCrane and Will Cheng founded The West Is Dead with the goal of reviving “the dying tradition of uncompromising craftsmanship.” Their menswear line features basic, hearty pieces, including some seriously cool denim barn coats and duck twill chinos. TWID is also committed to helping conserve what’s left of the Wild West, and has joined up with groups like the Intertribal Buffalo Council, who help assist American Indian tribes in returning the buffalo to their native lands.

The West is Dead featured in Thrillist LA:

Living in hardship can inspire creativity — after all, Anthony Kiedis never would’ve written “Under the Bridge” had he not actually lived under one, and Juvenile never would’ve written “Back That Azz Up” had he not recently lost most of his booty .gifs when his hard drive crashed. For more hard-living inspiration gone right, check out The West Is Dead.

Just staking out a spot on the information superhighway today, TWID is a classic-looking Americana-inspired brand from two LA dudes who met in northern Montana while one was living in an horse stall and the other in an abandoned school bus, most likely given up by Ms. Frizzle when the Dept of Education cut Magic Time Travel. Sheathe your lower body with options like Italian/Japanese-blend slim-fit jeans w/ extra fabric in the lower hip and thigh to provide more room, donut-riveted work pants w/ taped interior seams, and lightweight duck-twill chinos specifically made w/ a “hook” of fabric in the back intended to help avoid wedgies…so maybe that school bus wasn’t so abandoned after all. To cover your upper back tats of Calvin pissing on stuff, they’ve got a reversible crew-neck sweatshirt made from French terry on vintage South Carolina looms; chambray button-up shirts w/ scooped side vents; and an extra-long canvas-lined denim jacket made w/ a waterless wash they describe as “Dry Aged”, also a savvy liquor store’s creative way of promoting their super-old backstock of Bud Dry.

In addition, the West is Dead donates part of its profits to charity, and though they’re online-only right now, their clothes’ll be in stores by the end of the month, with local merchants including Edna King and Traffic, which, especially in this city, causes plenty of hardship under bridges as well.
