Sister Corita was a highly influential and inspirational art teacher and nun who created controversial pop art in Los Angeles during the 60’s. Earlier this year I edited a short film directed by Aaron Rose with a score by Money Mark to commemorate what would have been Corita’s 90th birthday. Today the art of Sister Corita will be on display and for sale at Landis Gifts & Stationery in Hollywood’s Larchmont Village. A percentage of sales all day will benefit the Corita Art Center.

Here’s an excerpt of the “ABC” song from our short film Become a Microscope-90 Statements on Sister Corita (music by Money Mark and Becky Stark of Lavender Diamond. Title design by Keith Scharwath. Motion graphics by Max Erdenberger, Alex Dervin, and Miguel Bautista. Produced by Jon Barlow and Arlo Rosner):

Today I’ll be chumping out a few friends who’s hard work is currently hitting your home entertainment picture tubes as well as the internets.

And last but not least is freelance copywriter and Muay Thai fighter (not to mention 2004 Asshole of the Year) Chris Pouy. With a chance to realize a dream that any Los Angeles Laker fan would cut a pinkie toe off for, Chris was part of the team that came up with the concept of making a 3D Kobe Bryant take it to the superstars of the NBA (as well as shirt shooting mascots and even a hot dog vendor!) in the new commercial for NBA 2K10. With an assist from the team of incredible animators at Psyop (including homies Miguel Bautista and Ben Grangereau) and Eric B. and Rakim’s classic “Don’t Sweat the Technique”, the results of “Take Over” have been championship caliber. Just like the Lakers of course.

And if you’re downtown, you can also see a larger than life Kobe about to put it down on the Hotel Figueroa across the street from the Staples Center.
