I’ve Been Busy, I Swear!

Art of Isolation
After recently witnessing two of my musical friends falling out, and the accompanying loss of music and momentum, I have taken a little more solace in the solitude of visual art. I have never been musical, and always somewhat regretted…

Backlog

C’mon and Raise Up
For the long weekend I took a little trip to Ashville NC to visit a friend who attends school there. I’ve never been to North Carolina, or anywhere in “the South” for that matter…

I Declare War
I’ve been loving the new videos from The Getback click recently and Rafael Casal‘s “Up Your Sleeve” is no exception. I think this is one of the best videos he’s done, visually and conceptually and as always…

Fresh Starts
Yesterday I had to make a little detour to the art store to re-up on a sketchbook. Earlier in the day I had filled the last usable pages of my previous book, leaving it ready to…

Unreal. Like a Dream.
So during the end of the semester I severely neglected my blog, as it was more important to get shit done than document it. One of the best things that I have yet to really acknowledge is the wonderful girl I met…

Grind Transformation
Today I passed in my photo portfolio box and my revised pieces for creative writing bringing my semester and junior year to a welcome close. Yesterday I presented my work from typography and graphic design for final review by my…

Introspective moments
Tonight I started falling asleep on the couch at like 8:00 which is a sign I need to get more sleep in my life. Having woken back up I am now finding myself staying that way. Its been a while…

Looking the Part
So this week I was told that I don’t “look” like a graphic designer. I found this comment hysterical as I was not aware graphic designers had a certain look. So when I inquired why – what about me said…

Man’s Best Friends
About 10 years ago our friends (now neighbors) called us up frantically asking us to take in two kittens they had found dumped out of a car in front of their house. They were headed out of town but had found…
