I am huge fan John Roecker as a person and as an artist. He embodies the DIY punk rock spirit and has created an impressive body of work. His body is pretty hot too, but that’s another matter.<\/p>\n

The other day he sent me a link to this video<\/a>, and I was touched to see he’d included me in the thank yous. All I did was write about him and later host him on FDL Movie Night<\/a>, but to John anyone who actually does anything creative–whether it’s about him or or not–deserves a thank you because they are being true to themselves.<\/p>\n

That being said, this poignant video is his self-directed artistic retrospective, a love letter to Los Angeles, movies, and punk rock, a celebration of creativity, a paeon to the urge to be a demiurge, a call to manifest.<\/p>\n

Now get out the knitting needles and Modge Podge! You’ve got a world to create!<\/p>\n
