Scavenger Hunt:

We were hidden from the sight of the city as we crept through lavender lit tunnels that gleamed with the colorful evidence of those that had created in that secret place. We had gathered everything we would need for the adventure, all the paints, brushes, rollers, wheat paste, posters and whatnots.

We would be journeying through a system of tunnels with the goal of reaching a large chamber at the end of those low-lit, vibrant tubes. Read More...

Though nomadic in medium, the work of David Adey is consistent in concept in and the evident time and process behind it. A college professor at Point Loma Nazarene University, he works full-time as an artist between graduation and freshman orientation and this year his summer goal was to suspend a row of books between two walls with minimal support.

The boys of Longstay have been busy. A new album, an online maze (complete with various mp3 treasures), and a January residency at Beauty Bar--oh my.
