Yesterday I got my braces tightened and then I proceeded to celebrate my grandmother’s birthday at a seafood restaurant with a big chunk of my family. We later surprised her with mariachis at her house. A good time was had by all. Most importantly, she liked my gift.

I don’t know about you folks, but I’m feeling great today. Don’t ruin it for me. :]

Can’t sleep. I had a sudden urge to create some art. I think I’ve finally figured out where I want to take my body of work. I want to produce positive propaganda. I want my work to filter the words of great thinkers and leaders through the use of typography in my particular sketchy style. It’s an opportunity for me to contribute to the Great Conversation with a raw artistic approach.

I think the political climate is such right now that my work could speak to millions if I just put it out there. Right now it’s important for me to share these ideas with my community, namely my school and my peers. I figure if there’s ever been a good place to express ideas, it’s in the university setting. Well, I’m here and I’m going to make the most of it. Let’s have a conversation, and if we can’t have a conversation let’s have an argument.

Who says school has to be boring?

Looks like the sketchbook look is popular in animation right now. Check out this cool music video for The Beast, by Angus & Julia Stone.

(Thanks for telling me about them, Andrea)

The only thing I plan on consuming on Black Friday, (only moments away) is leftovers! I’ve already raided the fridge for a midnight snack of turkey and stuffing. Boy is it delicious. Next up is a search for some of that wonderful pumpkin pie I had earlier tonight.

Well… I might go out and buy some nice shirts in the morning, now that I think about it. Maybe it’s the gravy talking.

Some of my closest friends are Ribeiros, and yet none of them can do this quite like Carlton can. Or maybe they can?

I was recently contacted by a friend I haven’t seen since 9th grade. As we were chatting, she said “I wanna see your monkeys!” and I suddenly remembered one of the most entertaining aspect of my freshman year in high school: doodling. Our classes were so boring that I would have to endure the hour and forty minutes of class by making sketches and showing them off to my friends. Jojo’s favorite character was easily the little chimp I would draw on the edges of our notes. I think I even drew it in her yearbook. Good times.

And so without further ado I present the return of the Jojo Monkey.
