I will be home from the 14th of December, to the 21st of January. I got myself a hefty little vacation there. I am making this post to find out from all of YOU exactly when you will be home and when you go back to school.

Please comment with the dates you'll be in the 'port and if you are travaling with the fam or whatever.

butyeah, this break should be pretty redonk

KAY COMMENT PLEASE 'cept jer cuz like, you kinda won't be home :(

WHO DAT? DAT DOOD FRUM CHARLIE BROWN

They have been doing this cool thing along the Avenue of the Arts (basically the street that uArts is on and other thangs) lately called Illuminations. They have these massive projectors set up and they shine art and designs across the street at the faces of various buildings. It looks really cool all lit up, and they have TONS of different pictures they show. It's pretty cool, and it's definitely something that I would LOVE to have done with my art. Now, I don't know if it's just anyone who can do this, in fact I'm pretty sure it's not, but it's still a cool idea and maybe something I'll figure out and do on my owns. I only have a couple pictures of it, but it's pretty cool looking.

This is Anderson Building...this is where I have most of my Foundation classes.


This is Hamilton Hall. There are some classes in here as well as all of the administration and admission offices. Behind here is Furness which is the primary freshman dorm. TIS THE SEASON LOOOL



After MIA a couple weeks ago we went to a party and when we were leaving we discovered that it had snowed a bit. It wasn't much at all but it was just enough to have fun writing in the snow. AND WE WROTE ON EVERYTHING. I basically wrote something on every car from my dorm to Wharton St. which is a good 15 or so blocks. FUN. Then I made this guy. He's my bud.

THIS IS RAM

At 3:00 in the morn Ram is the only person I ever want to see. Most of the parties we frequent just so happen to be not very close at all, which is annoying, but it always means we'll hit at least one 24 hour Drunkin Donuts on the way back. Ram takes the late shifts on the weekends and he always gives us free donuts. It's the best. He's so cool too, he's got a nasty pair of Air Max 90s as well.

I wish my name was Ram.

Graff Stash

...is growing.

Drawing Final

I finished it this morning at the super rad time of 4:30 on the AM. I have definitely spent more time working on this single drawing than any other drawing I have ever done (except maybe my bicycle drawing for RISD...but I still think this one took longer).

My professor stressed "PERFECT PERSPECTIVE" so nearly every line was measured and balanced with a couple other points on the drawing to make sure it would sit exactly where it was supposed to. Oh yeah, no rulers also...this was all done freehand. It takes forever, but there is something about perspective drawings that is so specifically perfect that I like. It's meticulous as hell but when it works, and when it comes together I think the outcome is pretty cool.


There it is, but the picture doesn't really do it justice. You kinda need to see it in person.

Afficial, Pedestian & Rarebreed

I went ashoppin' today and hit up some chunk stores.

First stop was Urban Outfitters. Now now, don't be hating, while they do tend to steal ideas from other companies, and they are getting pretty mainstream I guess, they do have a pretty cool style to them. I didn't end up buying anything, though. The last couple times I've gone I have just ended up looking around for a few minutes then staring at the art books for awhile. They have some very cool books there.

Next up was Rarebreed. I heard rumors a couple of days ago of a graffiti shop in my neighborhood. I was surprised to find out only lately as I thought I covered most of my surrounding area but apparently not. The store was pretty cool and they had a bunch of cool graff shirts for pretty cheap. They also sell fatcaps and plenty of spray paint that I unfortunately will probably end up spending too much money on. I'm going to go back there later on this week and make a couple purchases I thinks. I guess they had some gallery opening recently or something so there was a bunch of cool artwork on the walls and a big mural type thing in the back. There was paint all over the wall also, so I guess they did it right there in the shop, which is rad.

I followed South St. down a ways from 15th to 5th and stopped by Afficial. This store was totally intense. Not only did I get a FANTASTIC shirt but the interior was modeled like the inside of a swimming pool. They had a big slopping, tiled wall with shoes displayed on it, and it was all painted up blue. They mostly BBC and Ice Cream stuff (and my rad shirt). The coolest part, I think, was that the changing room was like a shower with a showerhead and tiles and shower curtain too. It was so funny. The place was awesome. PIX





After Afficial I went to Pedestrian. James was actually the first person to tell me about this store awhile ago but it's taken me forever to work my way down to check it out. It was gnarly and carried a bunch of just about everything. They had a huge t-shirt selection, some hoods, and some brims. All around cool store, I'll definitely be checking back from time to time.

M.I.A., Santogold, The Cool Kids AND SURPRISE!

I saw M.I.A. this past weekend. She was playing at The Electric Factory which is pretty much your general hipster hang out it seems. The place was nice, the speakers were loud, M.I.A. was amazing. Suuuuuch a fun show. I wouldn't have thought not to many things could compare to seeing Justice only a couple weeks ago but this show killed. I think one reason it was so much fun was because her music is very dancey, as opposed to just pounding bass. I love the beats and I love to dance around so I had myself a rate good time.


This is Santogold, there on the right at least. And yeah, she's got as much sass as it looks. She was pretty rad, and by pretty rad I mean basically the same exact sound as M.I.A. She's a British hip hop vocalist, same deal. It was pretty good. B-b-b-but who's that on the left?


Oh! It's AMANDA BLANK and it looks like PASE ROCK decided to join her! WHEN THEY CAME ON IT BLEW MY MIND. Not only was there NO information leading up to them preforming or where they mentioned anywhere on any posters or online, but I would pay money to see them specifically! Now they were up there rocking out with M.I.A.! I couldn't have been happier. Sooooo awesome. Plus, Spank Rock is from Philadelphia apparently, which was news to me, so hopefully I'll be seeing more of them.



The Cool Kids. They were pretty dope.

M.I.A. was amazing. There isn't really much more I can say about it. Later on in the night she invited a whole bunch of people up on stage they went crazy with her then they left and all the opening acts came on and sang with her and danced around. I didn't get on stage but my friend, Lyndsay did. My other friend, Nan, got to spank her when she was standing on the railing in front of everybody. loool. Sooo much fun. I <3 M.I.A.


This is the song Paper Planes. If you don't really know the song you might be kind of confused on to what is going on, exactly.

Chilly Philly

This JUST SO HAPPENS to also be the exact position that I am drawing from for my Drawing Class final project. I've spent over 20 hours drawing it so far, and I'm still not nearly done.

What the hull? CANDYBLOGWHAT

Gummies.

Little gummy candy varies. It varies in color, shape, texture and most importantly taste. In some crazy scheme someone decided to make orange flavored gummies orange, and lemon flavored gummies yellow. Shit makes sense to me. Most often though, gummies are delicious. And most often I can tell what the fuck they might taste like before I eat them. However, this is not always the case.

Great form, great figure.

Make love to the camera.

That lime is mine.

The fuck is this shit? It's brown with a blue trim? There ain't no acidic fruit out there that looks like that to my knowledge.

I didn't eat it.

Splice It

This the Coffee Stirrer project I was complaining about for weeks. I finished it awhile ago but I can't stand to look at it anymore so I've been neglecting to put it up.

I am aware that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever made, but It makes me laugh so much watching it. Fucking coffee stirrers...

Over 600 pictures were taken to make it look shmoof. Ugh, and far to many hours, too.

Happy December, and happy birthday to the brooo.
