I was in our local newspaper, the Press Enterprise last Thursday. It was pretty cool, I've had my work in a lot of magazines here and there and all around the world, but I guess there's something special about being recognized in your own community.
The article was pretty good, she interviewed Mark Murphy, Jonathan Levine, and Dayna Mason, and they all had nice things to say. The one thing I wasn't into was this line, "Soto, a balding, James Gandolfini look-alike..." The balding part is true (and doesn't bug me) but do I really look like Gandolfini? I'm only 31. I mean hey, she's a reporter and has to call it like she sees it I guess...
Full text is available at: PE.com I don't know you may have to log in to see it (I think they want your email address).
The other thing I wanted to post is a clip from the upcoming film "The Run Up".
The Run Up- Jeff Soto clip
It's kinda like Dithers part 2, from Upper Playground. They interviewed me last year and I can't wait to see all the artists interviews. Gonna be a rad movie. Here is the description:
The Run Up DVD:
Featuring twenty-six of the most eminent artists of today, The Run Up is a visual and historical representation of contemporary art. The DVD is composed of one-on-one interviews with the artists that depict their personal journeys in finding their artistic style as well as creating a space for themselves within the art world.
I'm glad to be a part of it. Wonder when it comes out?

you can probably pass for james gandolfini if the person looking at you was on crack and blinking really fast. other than that i don't see it.
saw the movie yesterday when I was checking out youtube for the first time. Its the first time that I get to hear what you sound like. Normal. Looks to be a good film. I like Docs. more now than most movies.
I would like to see the Soto tattoo-teaKEY
Thanks Memo Pisa el Lodo. I like what you have to say. No one I know thinks I look like Gandolfini in person.
