Tonight I was surprised to see a familiar face at my local gym. I was on doing some sit ups when I noticed a familiar face…it was the face of a warrior. A warrior that is every hero’s wing man/cohort. James Cosmo…yes, you may remember his face from such  famous films like ‘Brave Heart’ or ‘Troy’. I will admit that when I approached him I didn’t know his name. However; I knew he was an actor so I blurted out what movie I thought he was from without even thinking. That’s when I said, ” you were in Troy, right!?”… He was kind of silent for about 3 seconds…but those seconds felt like I was just about to make a complete ass out of myself. And then…. he said with a heavy accent, “ahh..yes, and I was in Brave Heart”. Whew…That was a close one…can you imagine if he was like…”um no..I wasn’t”. WHOOOPS!

This past weekend “33rd” in Los Angeles had live painting by artist such as Risk, Kofie, Mear and others. We stopped by for a minute to capture some of the activities taking place.

That “R” looks like it’s jumping off the wall…

As the featured artist painted their pieces we looked on and admired their skills.During all the watching and wandering I had the great opportunity to meet “Dabs” and “Myla” from Australia. They happened to be in the building that day  to sign some posters. We chopped it up and said our farewells..Back to Australia they go. However; look out for a Civil exclusive interview with the two of them coming shortly. Here’s some of their work…just so you can get more familiar with them before the interview drops. Enjoy!

I was browsing the web last night and happen to cross over some old pictures of “Twist” (Barry Mcgee). Just thought I would share…
