All things Travis Millard make us very very happy from his artwork/packaging for The Uncluded & Dinosaur Jr to his recent collaboration w/ Michael Sieben to the Slap Skateboard cover he did June 2000.
There were so many good sets on Sunday. Running from stage to stage we were able to check out more of the art scattered throughout Coachella. Recyclasaurus Rex stalked the terrace as we made our way to the Yuma tent. You can thank Johny Amerika for him. We also spotted a few more Project Inheritance x Coachella TRASHed bins. So cool! Lying under the Mirage (by Paul Clemente) and Empire of Love 333 (by Shrine) between sets on the big stages kept us cool but they had such a glow at night. The last piece, A Site for Dry Eyes (by Raices Cultura), greeted us at the exit as we wrapped up the weekend. Thanks for everything Coachella, see you next year. -duran
Some recent photographs of works in progress by artists Marco Zamora whose artwork incorporate his love of bicycling and exploring the streets.
We’re getting #TRASHed at Coachella. The TRASHed project is a collaborative effort between Global Inheritance and the Coachella folks to promote recycling. Several different artists including Liss, Amanda Glover, Ashley Macias, Dylan Bradshaw, Jacob Livengood, Bradford Lynn, Cesar Torres, Malik Girley and Katy Harrison customized recycling bins for the festival. Feed them bottles and cans if you see them around. -duran
The sun goes down and the installations come to life here at Coachella. Aside from being a huge showcase for music, the polo fields of Indio also serve as a massive art space. Seeing these fixtures in the daylight was pretty cool but they were absolutely amazing when illuminated at night. -Duran
Loving these new sculpture characters by artist Jay Howell, and we wish they were alive running around with beers in our house.
Don’t forget that his cartoon Sanjay & Craig on Nickelodeon will be premiering very very soon.

Some shots from artist Kelsey Brookes whose artwork mixes science, psychedelia, hallucinogens, and art. He writes regarding the main piece:
THC, Day 9. Complete. 102x66in. It took me 2 days to mix the right shade of indigo to finish this painting. I was inspired after reading OliverSacks and his experience searching for “true” indigo in his book “Hallucinations”.
