james franco- new hollywood! actor, writer, model, artist, teacher and filmmaker, and if that isn’t enough- he’s smart, cool and very good looking-nothing like having it all!

i just got James’ new book the dangerous book four boys. i got to admit it’s a little over my head, however it’s for sure something worth knowing about. starting out as a multimedia art exhibition in new york city, the exhibition included sculpture, video, photography and drawings. the title taken from a popular manual written for male adolescence says it all!

the book might be worth missing, however, the exhibition rebel conceived by franco along with artist aaron young, photographer terry richardson and several others will be a must, on view at jf chen in la from may 15 through june 23. joel chen is my favorite antique dealer in la. a few favorites unite!

rebel is an ode to the masterpiece rebel without a cause, conceived by franco to embrace the main themes of the original film through unconventional presentation of film, video installation, photography, painting, drawing and sculpture- pretty cool!

ironically james won a golden globe for his role as james dean in the tv biographical film by the same name. james franco- new hollywood who refuses to be defined by anything so he does everything- a rebel with a cause!

for those of you in la you must check out the new jf chen store at 830 n. highland ave- cool just like james!
