wood #1

i have been working on this piece for an eternity.  i think its finished.  i call it wood #1.  wood @2. is on its way.

productive dayzzz

a lil funkytown jukebox…

not really.  but i’ve wanted to blow up some random photos i’ve taken and see how they turn out.  i went to the local kinkos and figured out that i could blow up some of the images to poster-size, in black and white, on the cheap route, for only 5 bucks a pop.  3 of the 6 turned out alright.  here they are.

this here yonder watch…

is sweet.  i’m beginning to take better notice of watches these days.  i am hoping to get a nice watch in the next couple years that will last me a lifetime.  yesterday at work, i saw a customer’s watch and proceeded to ask about it.  i’m glad i asked.

his watch was a Bathys.

and turns out it has a kind of cool story behind it.  designed by John Patterson, a surfer in Kauai, the watches are made to survive extreme conditions.  from Bathys website:

“My watches are designed to work regardless of the amount of abuse they have to take. Here in Hawai’i you might be at 13,000 feet up Mauna Kea one day and 100 feet underwater the next. There’s not many places on Earth where such extremes are a routine part of life.”

Aesthetically the watches are on point.  And durable?  I might have to test one out since you can get the shown design for $650.

my first real day off since i got back from boston…

and it was splendid.  i got a lot accomplished, went to the beach and saw my little brother graduate high school.  i’m stoked for him.  i don’t think i’ve ever seen a kid so happy in my life.  good job buddy!  here are some click click clicks…

these last three are of my brother walking across the stage.  so stoked.  gotta love it.

where the wood is at…

so i’ve been working on this thing forever.  i’ve realized that if i want to start to do larger pieces, i’m going to have to be a lot more patient.  i like to hustle pieces, but my style of illustration definitely doesn’t allow for that.  i’ve been working pretty constantly on this thing, and its taking ages.  perhaps i just get distracted to easily.  oh well, heres what i got thus far.

timmy foot feet

why did i just now, for the first time, see this right now?

call me a copy cat…

but when you’ve got 350 plus pictures to sort through, re-sizing, editing and posting them all the way i’ve been doing just isn’t going to work with the sort of lifestyle i live. i simply cannot dedicate an entire 48 hours to a blog post. i’m sorry. so i’m stealing erik, nick and mc’s method of photo sharing. thank you flickr. here are a couple, follow this for the rest… this is my trip to boston and new york… hellooooooo…

the justified leave of absence…

so i have had a very long absence from the world of blogging for a very good reason… my computer freakin’ bombed.  in the midst of the bombing, i realized how productive i was “technology-less”, so i refused to get it fixed.  along the way, i made art, went to boston and new york, got a new job, watched a play-off boston celtics game at the td banknorth arena (formerly known as the boston garden), thought of doing a triple back-flip numerous times, and become more amped on life than i ever thought possible.  while the internet-saavy world had lost me, i developed.  i promise.  more pictures of my boston/new york trip to follow.  freaking yea dude!
