Arlo Eisenberg : Burgers, Hookers & Art
‘PEOPLE REALLY SEEMED TO LIKE IT. IT DOESN’T HAVE QUITE SO MANY KNIVES OR PENISES.’
Arlo Eisenberg is holding a semi-cooked hamburger, seated by the side of the road in Los Angeles’ most nefarious hooker district. He is talking about his recent art show, ‘Let’s Be Nice Forever,’ where he debuted six years of original artwork. By all accounts the show was a huge success. He sold eleven pieces on the evening of the show and generated glowing reviews from a hypercritical art community. Even his ex-wife bought a piece, although it’s questionable if she actually knew the work contained a scathing subtext Arlo wrote in his journal while they were going through their divorce.
Across the street from where we are sitting, a hooker in four-inch steel stilettos flags down an Escalade.
Eisenberg spent his high school years at the Arts Magnet high school in Dallas, Texas, where he studied visual arts and theatre. From there, he went to the University of Texas. ‘I was studying communications, but I was really majoring in rollerblading. I wore my skates to class and skated the campus every night. It could’ve been a movie. I had to evade security every day.’

Well, going from rolling being my only passion when I was 14 to being 21 and in the USAF ontop of having other commitments such as music, I like hearing about this kind of stuff and think it has every thing to do with rollerblading. My first skating memory was seeing arlo land a 540 over a channel gap at some random park and thinking of all the places I could go with that. Good for him for moving on with life, and even better for him because rolling is still a HUGE part of his life even if its not his only.
