SO the other day had an amazing adventure with John Awad. He is a very talented young, reckless, beautiful male. We started our day with a burrito and stuffed jalapeno tacos. After that we went to his house. He showed me da banjo and he ripped it something fierce.

It rules. Awad shreds this thing to bits.
Photobucket
I kind of want one so bad.
Anyway,Photobucket
We decided to go see Marisa. She had just gotten her wisdom teeth out, so we were planing on making her something.
In the car we realized we would use the chalk I brough and make a fantastic "get better" card made of wood.
Photobucket
Yeah, I know. It rules.

Purple mountains, majesty.

On the way home, after leaving this on Marisa's door step and driving away, we stopped at a EuroStore to look around. Nothing cool. EuroSuck. Anyway, next to it, I saw a store with one helluva incense holder. It had a naked broad on it riding a winged beast. So, naturally, we went in. We were looking all around until we found these gems.

The lady then told us about the "18 and older 'tobacco' product room". We complied almost immediatly. We had to go through a first back room filled with 1) gay pride t shirts and 2) about 5,000 t shirts with Osama Bin Ladins face with a cross hair on it. Amazing. The second back room was full of 1) the craziest dildos and sex toys I have ever seen, and 2) the dumbest bongs and crack pipes I have ever seen. We couldn't have had a better day.

That is their card. They need business they told us. Wow. So pumped.
After that I got whooped in Smash Bros at my friends house, then hung with Seamus and ate mad wings. All in all it was an amazing day. I hope I have more like it.

So there was supposed to be a show this weekend at the Tilton 9, but it ended up get thrown out the window for various reasons. I was kind of bummed, I really wanted to see Sad Dads and playing the RollingBeatlesFloydallica and Reflected Wands stuff with Donald and Rus would have been cool and fun.

no reflected wands:<

So we watched an insane amount of Tim & Eric. They are geniouses. We sat around all the next day in the time warp that was the apartment, but it as a lot of fun and we watched a lot of cool cartoon intros and daft punk videos on youtube. Donald came up with "Girlfriend Mom" which was probably one of the best things I have ever heard. You should be holding your breath until you see it. Donald and Grussel are making a blog with music and stories called "Fam Boy" and I am sure it will be amazing.


they have it figured out

Finals week. Oof. To go into little detail, my two group projects are looking like a train wreck, my history of XX century art should be very hard (I think I can manage to cram in some studying the day before), and my information design project is actually coming along nicely.
The project is to "re-design" the Philadelphia Septa map. Seriously? In 4 weeks you want us to take a map that has been used for years that was created by some map making genius and try to improve the functionality of it? LOL. Well since improving the functionality of it is damn near impossible and dumb to even try, I decided to get try and make it more interesting. The examples that the teacher showed us all looked exactly the same. White background, colorful lines, modern fonts, fucking boring. Except for one. This kid Dan, who is a design wiz and a really cool dude. His was almost like a horizon line reading of the railways. Damn near impossble to read and follow, but the idea was awesome and the print looked good in book form.

I have been into old foreign design posters as of lately and they have kind of been running through my mind for months on end now. I have become extremely happy with the usage of cut paper and doing as little computer work as possible. It's more fulfilling to make something, scan it, and that is my project. I hate sitting and staring at illustrator all day making lines. Boring yo.
Here are some cool poster designs that helped me with ideas.
Photobucket (I don't even know what this is for, but it is amazing and has been haunting me since I saw it haha)
Photobucket(amazing stuff)
Photobucket(NYC subway map from 1976, year could be wrong)

SO that's what I've been feeling, and here is my first rough draft of some stuff thrown together.

Next week is the last week of school for this quarter. So pumped. Next quarter should be very exciting and fun. I am taking Book Arts too! I plan on making an official hard copy version of Donald Dixon's cartoon disection book, "Peep'n Toons"
His stuff is amazing and he is one of the most creative people I have ever known and I owe a lot of my recent creative juices that are flowing in me to him, he's my mentor, aka, Master Dad.
