(One of Cunningham’s favorite recipients/victims of his contemporary craftsmanship.)

I will readily admit that I am not the hugest fan of Beck’s newest album, “Modern Guilt“. Especially when compared to some of his past efforts. But hey, as an artist, something I know all too well is that one can’t hit a “home run” every outing. Don’t get me wrong, there are some solid tracks, especially on the 2nd half of the record. However I was pretty damn stoked with the video for the track “Youthless”.  -Some Dada-esque imagery & elements going on for sure.   And anyone who knows my artistic leanings, knows of my fondness for that particular artistic aesthetic.

Mr. Bing Hamil…  A sincere thank you for your continued friendship and inspiration.  *Don’t forget about your sketchbook homeskillet.
