Baltimore Quotes

I think the only people who can appreciate this one on a deeper level are Nat and Cory, who were my kind hosts in Baltimore. These were quotes we found ourselves saying the entire time we were together. I’m still having a blast doing this typography thing. Hope you like it too.

Typographical experimenting, like poker, is an enjoyable activity for the whole family. Your turn to shuffle.

Ready to Depart

It’s the last week of school and I approach it with anticipation. Sure, I have quite a bit of work to produce for these last days, but I’m confident I’ll get things done on time. Most importantly, as the illustration above alludes to, I’ll be flying out at the end of the week for a total of 10 days. First to Chicago, then to Baltimore, then back home. This trip will complete my traveling goal for the year: 4 places outside of Florida and my goal to visit Nat. I’m truly excited about this mini-adventure of mine.

If anybody is interested in tagging along on this trip, let me know. I’ll shoot you the specifics. I’ll be leaving Friday, the 7th and returning Sunday, the 16th. And yes, I’ll be taking plenty of pictures.

What are your plans for the winter break?

Oh Happy Daze

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. :]

Feelin’ Patriotic

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?

Beast Video

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)

Sketched Commercial

Boy, I really need to start animating. I love everything about this animated commercial for V Water. I’ll be whistling that tune all day. Enjoy!
