It's official -- so says that august emblem of journalistic credibility, the Los Angeles Times -- I recognize talent (at least, this is implied by omission). Joining the lofty, celebrity ranks of our other famous alumni, editor Eric Kench, my co-host to the legendary Eric & Charles DVD Review Show (a 100 spambots can't be wrong) and fellow blogger, Eric Brightwell, has now been acknowledged for his aesthetic brilliance. It's been said (or it will be once I've said it) that his cartography finds the sublime in the seedy byways of an oppressive Los Angeles sprawl. As the city of dreams and angels, this town has always prized the map over the mapped, which Mr. Brightwell captures on construction paper as our modern condition under the spectacle. The star-mapper has become the star, could Paris Hilton's boudoir be his next achievement?
