Exit Through the Gift Shop

I was lucky enough to catch the screening for Banksy's film "Exit Through the Gift Shop" with WIRED Magazine in San Francisco in the Embarcadero. The film included admirable street artists Shepard Fairey who is widely known for his tags all across the world, to the infamous Obama "Hope"portrait, Space Invader whose work consisted of space invader murals made from rubics cubes, Mr. Brainwash, and Banksy himself whose identity remained private throughout the documentary... and more.

I thought the documentary was extremely genius and influential. The film not only followed the talented artists around their everyday life, but their nightlife of tagging and just putting up their artwork around large cities, but it included humor, friendship, trust, and passion. The different artists would travel all around the world, find the best location and walls to show their artwork, and go through the risk of putting up unique and creative pieces in public. To them this was all about the adrenaline, fun, and happiness that was brought to them while expressing themselves, but to others their artwork was seen as $$$ and would pay up to $200,000 for some of their work.

DEFINITELY DEFINITELY a movie that EVERY artist MUUUUST see. It was mad insane to see how talented these people are and how much thought they put into their every move. People definitely take art and graffiti for granted but I guarantee you after watching this film you're going to want to tag SOMETHING.

For sure this sparked a lot of ideas and now I just need to get off my butt and pursue them.

Peep a few of my favorite pieces of artwork by the artists featured in the film..ENJOY!

The Food So Nice They Named it Twice.

Been trying to explore the world of a vegetarian for the last few months and I must admit it's been challenging at times to go out and find food that excludes meat- and isn't a salad. So, I've pretty much found it easier to get my ass in the kitchen and make something. This was the case last night when I was craving for something a little ethnic, but easy. Thus, Curry Couscous was born...well, after much improvisations due to lack of ingredients...and pretty much straight up laziness on my part, that is. Here goes the method to my madness, aka the recipe:

First, I started with a drizzle of EVOO (extra virgin olive oil for the noobs, haha) once around the pan. Add 1 tbs butter, half a diced onion and cook through. Next, I added 1 1/2 tbs (roughly) curry powder and 1 tbs coriander, cook through quickly, then add 1 1/2 cups water (chicken broth if you're feeling frisky...or have it on hand unlike me). Once the water comes to a boil, add 1 1/2 cups couscous. Stir once, remove from heat and cover tightly for 10-15mins, then fluff with fork.




Next, I added frozen peas and a can of red beans, strained and rinsed (chickpeas were ideal, but I worked with what I had, sorry), and the juice of one lemon. Stir together and tightly cover.



While the couscous sits, in another sauce pan, drizzle once around pan EVOO and heat through. Sauté half an onion- diced. Once onions cook through, add half a bottle of mango chutney (found in specialty food shops; got mine from Trader Joe's) and simmer until sauce rethickens. Add a pinch of salt to bring out flavor.







Finally, combine couscous into pan with sayce and Bon appetit!
Yum-a-e-i-o-u!
