A Quick Procrastination

It’s late and I’m working on 2 projects. I would rather be sleeping. The above is a sketch I made on Friday while listening to a lecture. It’s a drawing of Brent, whom I also made into a cartoon during last year’s Blogathon.

Back to work!

This SNL Digital Short had me cracking up.

Props to Rey for telling me about hulu.

I’m really enjoying the quiet evenings I have to myself. For the past week or so I’ve been getting home, eating dinner, and shortly after taking a nap. Usually I’ll wake up an hour later and let the grogginess wear off with a good magazine and a fresh cup of coffee. Once I’m fully awake it’s time for music and artwork.

I’m doing some hand-lettering for a package design project I’m working on. The above image is a glimpse of a few letters and numbers I did with a sharpie. I’ll be combining these with some typed out letters as well.

Alrighty, well I’m going to get back to my project. Cheers.

Whoever prepared the above pumpkin loaf was so eager to do a little circle over the i that they forgot to add a p.

Saw this car on the highway. The most offensive thing on it is right under the license plate.

NY Trip Pictures

NY Trip 08


I realize it’s taken me a while to post photos or any details about my trip to New York. Sorry about that. I’ve been trying to catch up with some assignments and sleep.

Basically, the trip consisted of the following:

  • Staying at the Holiday Inn in Midtown.

  • Rooming with Zack, Isaias, and Raquel.

  • Taking a stroll around Hell’s Kitchen with my roomies.

  • We put the mattresses on the floor and everyone slept on their own bed.

  • Delicious bagels and hotdogs.

  • Visited the MoMA, the Met, El Museo Del Barrio, the Whitney, the Armory, 2 galleries in Chelsea, 2 artist studios, and P.S.1

  • Went to the New York Comedy Club for a midnight performance with 13 friends.

  • Danced at Home NY.

  • Slept very few hours.

  • Walked in lots of cold rain.

  • Saw the film Michael Clayton at 2 A.M.. Should have watched something with more action.

  • Spent about $150 total on the trip.

  • Flight back to Miami was delayed 3 hours. Still had a good time.

  • Developed a new catchphrase which involves yelling “Thank You!” in a rude Brooklyn accent.

It’s too bad we didn’t get any snowfall. I never seem to be in town for that sort of stuff. I can’t wait to go back yet again. Enjoy the photos, I focused mostly on street typography, museum photos, and city shots.

Leaving to NY

In a few hours I will fly out to New York along with 27 other students for the Whitney Biennial. During the day we’ll be visiting artists, studios, museums, and other cool artsy things. At night, we’re free to go about the city on our own. I still don’t quite know what I’ll be up to in the evenings, but I intend on having a good time. As always, I will document my adventure in photos. I’ll be back on Sunday night. Good night!
