If proof were ever needed that I have the world’s coolest boss it’s that we met today at Mission Comics and Art to get Scott Pilgrim Vol. 6 together.
While there I also met up with the lovely Amanda Martinez of Mission Loc@l and we shot a video for ML’s Mission Eyes segment. I gave a spiel about Brian Lee O’Malley’s hybrid approach to cultural references in such a mainstream book and specific references to Mexican culture within the pages of the series. I also interviewed Mission Comics and Art owner Leef Smith about the shop and Scott Pilgrim.
As of this writing I have yet to read it. I spent a few scant moments at work flipping through it trying not to spoil things for myself. The suspense is killing me.
I’m going home to read some Scott Pilgrim.
Peace,
Rio
Yesterday was a rough day for me but I did manage to get in a couple of Hipstamatic shots while riding to and from SomArts on the 27 Bryant. The photo above is of the empty interior on the 27 at night and the photo below is of an OG smoking a roach on Cesar Chavez near St. Anthony’s. I broke down and purchased all the add-ons for Hipstamatic so more photos will be coming soon.
Peace,
Graphic Art, Tortillas, Comics, and Troublemaking
