A REAL DRAG

Compare these two pictures. It's my future.

My cats have been pretty cool lately. They are finally calming down and growing up.

ALMOST OUT OF HERE.

This christmas all I thought about was pig destroyer, sleeping, tofurkey, and how great today was.

It has been a while since I updated, but i've been extremely busy. With trying to balance school, Vomitorium stuff, trying my best to not fail web design 1, drawing extensive storyboards, trying to organize a recycling club, and remembering to eat has been really rough.

Only two more finals left and then I am done for the year. I will be starting a job right when i finish this weekend hopefully.

Brika and I went to Art Conspiracy and got to see Zicole's painting and then we watched her band Mount Righteous play. Twas fun. The volunteers there are very clever at duping people like me into paying 3 bucks to do a tricycle race...

Jane and I trekked to Waxahachi last to see the opening at Webb Gallery for an excellent rock poster show as well as some new works by Dan H. Phillips

This is Jodie. She is from "in between Liverpool and Manchester"

This is Brika and Preston.

This is me showing platonic affection to Brika. She hates me, but I will miss her when she moves to Denver in a couple months or so...

This is from an ad campaign I worked on for my Art Direction class. I'm not very fond of the text at the bottom or the drop shadows. I will fix it all before portfolio. Thanks Justin for putting up with that photo shoot for 2 hours. Crosley Radio has some pretty cool record players that make mp3's from your records. The quality of the songs aren't that great, but hey... how else am I supposed to get mp3's of vinyl only releases?

The following are two shots from a storyboard I am working on for a class. The story goes somewhat like this:

"Teenage boy cannot sleep and has nightmares, so he goes to a doctor who looks very similar to Tina Fey who then later hypnotizes him into a perfect sleep with amazing dreams." 

I am almost done with it:

A Black Trash Bag on the Side of the Road

I once saw A Black Trash Bag on the Side of the Road. As I drove closer I realized it was actually a Dead Dog. I drove by it for a Week before someone cleaned it Up.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I did the following for an art group called Animals/Children. Check them out:

Upcoming stuff for Vomitorium. You will understand later:

Young Widows

I took some pictures at the Ft.Worth stop on the current Young Widows tour.




There are more on my FLICKR.

I'm working on some new stuff when I can. I will post more stuff when I have something.

Municipal Waste Show

Went to a Municipal Waste show at the last minute. It was probably the funniest show i've ever been to and I had a blast.

Taking a Break

This week I am off from classes. That means lots of nothing to do. I don't have a job. I do freelance design work when I can, aside than that, school keeps me very busy during the week. Its just those few days when there isn't anything I have to do, that I cannot get anything accomplished.

Today I went to my school's portfolio show. Everyone there had excellent work and I hope they all get a great job and find success. After that, my friend Casey and I went around killing time in Dallas. I went to Good Records and got two Jim O'Rourke (of Sonic Youth) albums. I can't stop listening to them. It's always great to inject music into your life of styles you don't normally listen to. 

There is a major stoner metal/doom metal show coming up in denton this weekend. I will be there and I will have copies of VOM.No.4 with me.

Here is a flyer I made for it: 

Right now I'm in the middle of three books:

Narcisa- by Jonathan Shaw

My Custom Van- by Michael Ian Black

and a very explanatory book on Nietzche called "Introducing Nietzche". There is a whole series of books entitled "introducing" that cover a ton of different subjects. They mix comic like illustrations with text, which in my opinion, makes it more memorable.

I've been listening to:

Jim O'Rourke- Eureka

Jim O'Rourke- Insignificance 

Young Widows- Old Wounds

Pygmy Lush- Mount Hope

Isis- Oceanic remixes and reinterpretations 

and the other day I was looking through my cd's and found Worship and Tribute by Glassjaw. Hearing that again really reminded me of when I was 15 hanging out with the best of friends I ever had.

EDIT: i fixed the date for the show.

"Buy more neopolitan ice cream"

I've been very busy lately. I've been sleeping a whole lot, not doing hardly anything, going to classes when prompted, being bored, staying indoors, etc. When I'm not doing that I am trying to get stuff done like creating art or making books.

My first billboard design was put up today.

I finished vomitorium no.4, check it out here.

I was trying to work my smooth David Wain-esque moves on Brika Lyga.

what I will be up to:

• Finishing all my final projects for school this week

• Taking a week off from school

• Not going to accomplish anything but having fun...
