Mac MillerSwimming (REMember Music/Warner Bros)SkyeChristy Love Swimming: L.A. sibling duo SkyeChristy told us about their love for a Mac Miller gem.(REMember Music/Warner Bros)SkyeChristy: Growing up as sisters the two of us have always shared a similar taste in music; especially because the younger sister is almost always influenced by the eldest sisters’ taste. We’ve always connected when it comes to music, but no album has connected us more than “Swimming” by Mac Miller. When we were right at the start of the pandemic, we began taking long drives through Laurel Canyon and Mullholland listening to all sorts of music. We’d think about the history of the hills, and how so much beautiful music had been born there.At the time we hadn’t even started making music.

When referring to this album Mac Miller said, “I’m just talking about things that I’m proud of...

Meet Gutsy Graphite Artist Tim Biskup

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:31:54 GMT

Over the past 25 years, Tim Biskup’s far-ranging practice has included painting and mixed media work as well as drawing, sculpture, printmaking, animation, music, publications, and all manner of studio and social experiments giving form to his unique hybrid style of gestures, geometry, line, and color. There’s a new painting show on the horizon for Fall, but for the past several years, his attention has been devotedly split between running an indie space/shop/studio/neighborhood creative hub called Face Guts, and an obsessive relationship with graphite drawing. Though largely know for a prismatic palette and fragmented, planar figurative surrealism, in the graphite works Biskup pursues more sinuous, soothing shapes that converge figure and abstraction in cheeky, poetic pieces—a new suite of which opens at Face Guts this weekend.Tim BiskupL.A. WEEKLY: When did you first know you were an artist?TIM BISKUP: Drawing pictures of Kiss in fifth grade. Someone asked me if they could buy a d...

Pacific Northwest Travel: Seabrook recreates old-school beach town vibes with a modern touch

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:31:54 GMT

Seabrook is the quintessential coastal beach town — the one we all grew up going to, at least in our dreams. But this Washington coast gem, located three hours from both Seattle and Portland, only feels like a centuries old enclave. This village was built in 2004 and curated to evoke nostalgia — and woo guests to the region.Unlike its southern neighbor, Oregon, Washington State has not made much of its rugged Pacific coastline. Seeing a lack of oceanside getaways for state residents, Casey and Laura Roloff decided to build their own waterfront oasis using Seaside, Florida as a guide. (If you’ve seen “The Truman Show,” you’ve seen Seaside. The iconic 1998 Jim Carrey movie was filmed there.) The 2004 project was their second planned community in the Pacific Northwest; the first — Bella Beach — is on the Oregon coast.Seabrook was painstakingly built to exude the coastal charm of historic beach towns inAmerica, while keeping sustainability and u...
