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.

I have a desk...

...and I would like to share it with you.

*click to big*

This picture was taken a couple of weeks ago. It's not exactly as clean now. In fact it's very much unclean. I labeled everything because I am weird.

No offense, but...you are a robot. Aren't you?
