August 1968
Happy about this photo I found from 1968. It was just a strong image so I bought it for my inspiration board. The other one I bought for the same reason but it was signed and a bit older.

Cool Your Jets
If you're in Cali you know that it's been HOT Lately. Cool your dome off on a file cabinet. That's what my bro's dog Buddy does.
Burnt Game (Documented Digging)
Not cool. I thought that this was just a temporary reality TV fad. But over the weekend I encountered the entertainment industry manufacturing fake treasure hunting/American picking situations twice in two days.
Maybe it's the economy that has generated more interest towards alternative ways to make and save money purchasing goods outside of the typical retail environment.
The reason I love it is because it's modern day Indiana Jones treasure hunting.
Obscure vintage stuff you never knew you wanted or needed is presented before you as though it was fate.
Even in this age of technology and instant access to online price guides,appraisals & valuations. Still some of the rarest items(art &collectibles) are usually hard to value quickly online. They slip through the cracks, and end up on the floor at the swap meet/flea market. There's still virgin/pristine/untouched treasures out there, but the TV shows aren't helping keep crowds down. It's actually a good time to be a seller out there lately. With hoards of new folks out there paying retail/or beyond retail for minor collectibles. Fortunately I'm from So Cal were swap meets are everywhere all the time. Lots of random/interesting vintage items to get inspired by. I don't know anywhere else you can find such a variety of old school crap in one place. Anyways Hollywood should stop burning the picking game. The experience is a lot more fun/real/true and adventurous when it's not considered in vogue by hipsters worldwide.
