This guy’s name is Joey Chou and we love the love out of him. His art is rich with color, atmosphere, and nostalgia without being campy or trite. The guy’s also like 20 or something and has already made the official It’s A Small World book for Disneyland and I believe has been hired by them to do further work. Would eat our pencils to get a chance to work with this guy someday.

Folks, its Memorial Day, and what better way to really get your party hummin’ than by popping open an ice cold bottle of Coca-Cola and turning up the new EGBDF Mixtape! That’s right, after a long hiatus, we’re back! This time with a bit of a different twist—mixtapes for everyone’s favorite brands (and boy is this one crisp and refreshing!) So fire up those grills, grab your sweetiepie, and get ready to dance! That’s Memorial Day the Coca-Cola way, and it’s brought to you by Fine Folks.
Oh and don’t forget, starting Monday June 4 and continuing every first and third Monday of the month, you can dance the night away as Fine Folks DJs at Mandrake Bar in Culver City (all part of Grill Murray: chronological Bill Murray movies + free grilled goodness+music!) Feel great, feel amazing, feel FINE. Just click on the cover above! Or, if you don’t trust pictures, have a click at that download link below.
And so, ladies and gentlemen, without further ado…

*Fine Fact!: “Sausalito” (credited to Ohio Express) was actually performed here by 10cc (‘I’m not in love…’), 3 years before they adopted that name.
