Walked around the grimey parts of the east side and took some photos, just to get out of the house. New t-shirts w/ different colors comin out this week. Working on assignments all weekend long. It's best I do it this way so when Sunday night comes around I'm not hustling as hard. I guess I'll root for the steelers, but I'll be happy either way.

2009-01-30T10:15:00.000-08:00

2009-01-23T15:16:00.000-08:00

Weekend agenda- 6x4 watercolor of brooklyn bridge, finish type setting of a quote, finalize ad for backpack/luggage concept, begin the 15 self-portraits. Off to the Harmony for scrabble w/ pops and his "ladyfriend". I wanna conceptualize some new t-shirt designs.. I've had this urge to lay it down.. I'm pretty close to makin it happen.

2009-01-17T20:03:00.000-08:00

Well, school has begun, and I really enjoy having the pressure of projects being due. I pretty much like all of my classes, some more than others.. Color media is demanding, skill-wise.. I do not like watercolor, I suck at it. It's kind of a stressful media, no real do-overs. I like being able to erase, or go over.. I hope I can get a better grasp on this in the future. Drawing for illustration is a wild class. Our teacher is definitely a free spirit. She gets us out of our comfort zone and challenges us to think outside of the box, try different things, etc. I'm not the best illustrator, there's some kids that are stand-outs in the whole charcoal media... I refuse to be intimidated or feel inferior, I'm just not as skilled, and I'm fine w/ it. Web page design is alright so far, I actually get the beginning of html coding.. concept development is cool, I dig the whole brainstorming process, and I'm pretty good at it. My favorite class has to be typographic design- the teacher is extremely knowledgeable, and he has 30+ years in the graphic design field. I'm a letter guy, so I foresee myself having the most success in this class. None of my teachers are dicks, my fellow classmates seem to have a grip on things, and I'm looking forward to getting alot out of this semester.

puttin in work

2009-01-11T20:55:00.000-08:00

So, my guy starr put up the money to run more shirts to be available for sale at the juice show, which is great, even though I can't make it there to see it. I figured this would be a good opportunity to rock the new pattern I made. I used it in my business cards, as well as the tags I made to hang off the shirts. I'm pretty excited to sell 'em and make some more, get my name out, etc. School starts in the morning, hopefully I'll get some sleep here.

typeface

2008-12-27T01:20:00.000-08:00

Messed around, created a typeface, graff letters, of course. Only caps, no glyphs, it'd be too unrealistic. The spacing should come out similar to this if everything goes right. Now if I only knew how to convert to a true type...

2008-12-25T23:52:00.000-08:00

Good xmas, ate way too much, watched some good movies, and put in work in between- here's a revised design for the next shirts I'm gonna run!

long walk in the woods...

2008-12-17T14:47:00.000-08:00

I got tired of being stuck in the house due to cold weather, so I said"fuck it", I gotta get out, just to be out.. I decided to take a walk through the woods behind our apartment complex. Every time I came to a place that would've took me home, I decided to get lost. So this went on for a couple of hours. There wasn't really much to see, but it was very peaceful, and serene-something television, or the internet can't give me. I also threw in some works in progress. The crow drawing is something I'm doing for my dad for Christmas.

2008-12-12T15:04:00.000-08:00

3rd Place-Maybe next time.

2008-12-10T18:34:00.000-08:00

Ha! The elephant print didn't print out, something with flattening the transparency, so the image definitely looks better in web format-oh well, learning experience.

finally finished

2008-12-10T01:38:00.000-08:00

I'm looking forward to printing this all
off tomorrow.. It took awhile, and I could've done it
better, but at least I can put it behind me.
It was fun while it lasted

2008-12-09T15:53:00.000-08:00

It's cold outside, so I'm gonna push myself to paint more. I didn't know what to do with this painting, so I just did some organic lookin shit off the top of the dome!! Pretty much just to be done with it. Otherwise the fucking thing will haunt me..Not much new, just wanting school to start so I can get involved with something that doesn't involve food or television.

move 'em

2008-11-29T01:06:00.000-08:00

Once I slang the remainder of these shirts I'm definitely running a new batch. Something sharp, iconic, with a universal message.

2008-11-28T15:45:00.000-08:00

Met up and had coffee with a good friend of mine- it was pretty cool to catch up with her. bad photo though.

My good friend Taylor came through last night, and we carved pumpkins for Thanksgiving for some reason- and I always crack her the fuck up..

2008-11-28T00:02:00.000-08:00

Jeesus shit. I ate hella turkey/mashed potatoes/pumpkin pie. 2 am, writing to myself. Thanksgiving went well- talked to alot of old friends this week- my real friends indeed. Finally getting acclimated to the real world- Took a while to find my rhytym. Everything's starting to feel alright again. Just job-hunting, and helping my pops rehab from knee replacement. I'm gonna go to MATC tomorrow and finish this cereal box project. I went to jail with 2 weeks left in the semester, with my final project not done. I had a cool teacher and he hit me with a B. So, to show my appreciation I'm gonna finish this box- The concept is jordan sneakers cereal(last resort, easy concept). So I've got these retro prints, and a black/red/ grey colorway.. It's gonna look ill.- I'll post it when I'm done. I'm real excited for school to begin- hoping for some healthy financial aid. Hopefully I'll meet some cool people there... Back to work for now though.

2008-11-26T23:18:00.000-08:00

Soooo, I got bored and decided to paint this beat-up deck.

2008-11-23T16:53:00.000-08:00

Long, uneventful weekend.. Confined to the house.. painting alot more, which is a plus. Stopped by the tat shop..walked around in the freight yard.. nothin poppin. Here's some photos, cause I have nothing else better to do.
