❤️Please help our dear friend, Luis Sanchez ❤️

Los Angeles artist Luis Sanchez is one of the most inspiring and resilient people I know: a brilliant painter; sculptor, and muralist who has supported himself by creating art for over 26 years. His grit and positivity have helped him prevail through insurmountable challenges: two kidney transplants, a lymphoma diagnosis, a stroke, and now a recent head injury causing severe vertigo.

Luis has continued working throughout all of these setbacks, but now his doctors have urged him to avoid stress and long hours. This is incredibly difficult given his medical bills and cost of living in Los Angeles.

Please donate to his GoFundMe (link in comments).

Thank you for helping to support this bada** beast of a human, and thank you to Jon Lemmon and Sami Reed for their help and support in fundraising.

Third Slide: Superman not feeling so great.
Fourth Slide: Stay Positive! 🦈

Yes, techno producer Pezzner can also create a big band cabaret movement—underpinned by quaking 808 samples, of course.

Read my interview with Dave for The Tonearm, where we discuss his latest productions for rhinestone-encrusted pop culture-infused performances with zombie cheerleaders and Dolly-Parton-themed shows at Can Can Culinary Cabaret. Link in comments.

Read my latest article for The Seattle Times showcasing Washington nonprofits scoring for underserved communities:

"According to the Census Bureau, Washington is among the wealthiest states in the U.S., with data showing a median household income of more than $90,000. Despite this bounty, inequality persists as underserved communities struggle for access to services."

Enter Seattle Sounders FC RAVE Foundation, Seattle Adaptive Sports, Sports in Schools, and Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum.

"You have corporate ambition exploiting the desire of creatives. That’s been the case since the world began. People are exploiting those who create and are too busy to worry about being exploited. It’s Orwellian."
- Shirley Manson of Garbage

I caught up with Shirley Manson just before the release of Strange Little Birds. We discussed everything from her performance in a Terminator movie to Los Angeles living, the treachery of the corporate stronghold on the music industry, and the release of "Q***r" in 1995.
