Artist Gary Baseman Reactivates Johnie’s Coffee Shop ☕️ The long-closed landmark at Wilshire and Fairfax will be open for the next five weeks 🎨 RECEPTION TODAY 🎨 SEE MY STORY at @lamag (linkinbio) or https://lamag.com/art/artist-gary-baseman-reactivates-johnies-coffee-shop/

after (exposures) — a collaboration between Tyler Curtis and Chef Curtis Duffy.

Drawn from over two decades behind the lens, this collection captures some of music’s most influential figures—from Black Sabbath and Iggy Pop to Madonna and Chris Cornell.

Unpolished. Immediate. Captured in motion—on stage, mid-performance, fully alive. Images that place you in the crowd, but just a step closer.

A document of presence and energy. Of artists in their element.

A reflection of the music and moments that have shaped Chef’s creative world, given space here without filter.

On view during service. Prints available.

We love you all 🖤

Dear Gregg,

I didn’t know you the way or to the lengths the rest of your incredible friends did- our orbits only truly collided just over a year ago- and yet I can say you’ve had a bigger impact than most people I’ve met in 13 years in LA, as well as the entire time on this marble. Thank you, @CharliePaulson for pulling me out of my cozy monastery to go see Gregg spin that faithful evening.

You spoke in a language I hadn’t heard expressed eloquently in a long time embracing the mystery, beauty and profundity of music and film: from rare 45s to 80s sci fi- you knew of the cool things that not even the Internet could find- and as someone who loves to learn, I was inspired immediately. We had plenty of overlap, but I was in awe of your encyclopedic knowledge of the things that I love - all delivered with kindness, sincerity, and wonder. Those conversations rekindled my curiosity and love for music and film in a way I needed.

You and Christine became fixtures in my mind as examples of the good art life. It wasn’t about what’s trendy or what’s happening on social media or the spaces of discontent we find ourselves in… it was something deeper. A kind of mystery school filled with passion, esoteric knowledge, and insatiable wonder…. and the things that actually matter in life - like friendship, love and curiosity.

My camera has brought me in front of many, incredibly talented and interesting people, but very few could stand on the artistic podium next to you. The outpouring of admiration and love across the world is a testament to the power of being a kind human on top of being divinely talented. The sky cried here in LA as you ascended.

I’m so grateful for the impact you’ve had on all of us, reminding us that kindness and passion among the greatest things that we can strive for.

The impactful hours spent with you and @Slankette smoking cigarettes and talking about our inspirations, philosophies and arts will forever inspire me to do better be kinder and remember that it’s always better to have the light in the dark as we tunnel through this MAD world.

You weren’t just one of Philly’s finest. You were one of the world’s. (Continued below)

16 Candles….5,696 days sober seems like a lot- but it took me 12 years to get it after the first time I blew out my pancreas (for the first of 5 long term hospital stays) in 1998 and was told to get sober before I die. Meaning: Sometimes we fall hard…but we can always get back up. I realize now how lucky I am to even be here.

I’m grateful I can find laughter to face today’s challenges without a drink and a drug. Nothing is ever perfect- loved ones ascend beyond, relationships end, money comes and goes- there’s plenty of years that have been way harder than when I was using. But I can see it clearly. I never feel alone anymore…so many people have been supportive, patient and kind because I can be honest and accountable. I only hope that if you’re reading this and struggling, know there’s an answer. It’s not a wellness retreat, it’s not a cult, it’s not a quick fix. It’s a simple phone call or text message asking for help. It doesn’t cost anything other than your willingness to clear out the cobwebs of your soul.

Also, Rule 62: Don’t take yourself so damn seriously.

Last week, @curtisduffy and @jeremyxwagner descended onto the Sunset Strip to a full house at @booksoup to promote the national best seller #Fireproof. Hosted by @metalbladerecords founder @brianslagel , the discussion and Q&A covered key takeaways from one of the best memoirs about overcoming the impossible, finding inspiration, adhering to self discipline and pushing kindness forward and the love of music. It’s one of my favorite books I’ve read in ages- and it’s a testament to the hero of the tale. It’s funny how we say we know people but sometimes forget to ask how they became who they are. Jeremy and Curtis have crafted one of the most compelling autobiographies you’ll ever read. Oh, and there’s food too. Lots of it.

My phone ran out of juice as the signing began hence the heavy photo use- but fuck it- it’s all rock and roll.

What happened when @shewantsrevenge played Yaamava Casino on 7.26.25 was pure magick. Goths conquered a pool deck en masse to shake off their woes to one of LA’s greatest darkwave bands. With a majestic sunset kissing the concertgoers and transforming the vibe mid set- it was one of my favorite concert experiences in ages. And word is… @yaamava makes a mean virgin Piña Colada. #fyp #goth #shewantsrevenge
