    Lotso space.

    So this week has been a gift and a curse. I've been moving all week and have had zero time to work on any projects or produce anything new. Instead I was dreading not having interwebs to play my Halo. (First world problems) Everything isn't quite 100% un-packed but it's getting there. Overall I am pleased with the move. We have much more space for less cash. I have plenty more space for creative freedom as well as screaming at my monitor when things don't go my way. I do have a TON of work to catch up on so I must get back into the flow. . . . .just after I get back from H&M. 

    Without further adieu, my new apartment. (complete with nifty captions):


    Finally closer to downtown
    You can see from one end to the other. I foresee a nerf fight in the future.
    uber-rolling chairs of destruction. - dining room
    where my friends sleep / living room floor
    more space and bigger painting area.
    First breakfast - cinnominominumms
    First lunch - sammich, sheeps and blue drank.
    It tasted a lot better than it looks in this picture.
    "I can out drink you any day"
    My favorite part, my new office/bs area. (now has a lock on the door)
    19/90 Never clothing co.
    Roy boy bones jones jr. likes the new place.
    You jealous? You look jealous.
    Stay jelly.
    Prints. Hung in an artsy/hipster fashion.
    (not that you weren't already looking) The gundam doesn't have a space diaper on to cover his no no's
    Desk space?
    "All this extra space for only $475?" - I promise he's not as stupid as he looks.
    You don't have to go home but you have to go home. Thanks for visiting my place, I hope it was enjoyable for you as it was time consuming for me.

    Swiss rolls and ice water

    First off, I found this awesome picture:


    Second off, it's probably 70 degrees in my apartment and I ain't even mad. I'm moving into my new apartment next weekend (30th). I was originally dreading it but I'm just stoked to have more space for my creative freedom. 

    In other news I won't be producing much this week on account I'll have everything packed up and working like a mad man for that extra skrill. I can't really describe what I've been feeling lately. Not necessarily un-motivated but more of a search for something original. I'm my worse enemy when it comes to translating from my sketchbook or my noggin into a project. Lately I've found myself just searching random artists, blogs, or galleries and realizing that most of what's out there is very saturated with the same elements. I then apply some of those factors to my own work and realize sometimes my work isn't any different. I'm sure I'm just being hard on myself but it's not easy to escape. The feeling of drowning in a massive sea of copy cats. I one day hope to be a reputable and well respected artist. A great artist. 

    In better news, mega millions lottery is up to 356 million. Somebodys got to win it so who better than me? Anywho, I'm going to continue cleaning, eating my swiss rolls and drinking my ice water in this boiling apartment. Enjoy your weekend and be safe.

    So last weekend right?

    Was kinda cool, I've been up to my neck in work so it was nice to get out with the homies and be in public. I'm just going to post this like it's not a week late and I don't have anything to work on now.

     

     Brand new look, same awful taste.
    drink down pinky up.doing it big....still tastes awful.
    This is an old shot but still funny. A good idea of what gross alcohol does to you.
    Hookah bar. This time I didn't get the stomach ache flavor.
    My adrenaline is always pumpin' (long story) (very long story)
    Good eats via Five Guys.aaaaaand, this is what it looks like now. (Mar. 21st)

    SXSW . . .2011

    Couldn't make sxsw this year but i'm SO glad I'm not going with a bunch of liars and fakes. I'd rather not go at all than go with a bunch of jokes. All venting aside, check out my reminiscent photos from last year:

    Sorry we're closed.

    Sup? I know I keep saying it but my web-store WILL be available soon. I just want to make sure I have enough prints and everything in order and in proper position before leading the attack. 

    Make sure you follow me on twitter/facebook or check back on my website for the availability on prints. I'll also be uploading a bunch of work this week. Thanks and stay tuned. 

    I also made a life-changing bid on ebay, I'm the only bidder on the item and I have to wait 2 days to hope nobody else bids on it. If I do win this item, I promise I will share it with all of you. . . .via youtube. It's not something everyone will understand, but if you're from the 90's you'll definitely be able to appreciate it. Fingers crossed.


    Anyway, got a new video:
