COOL VIDEOS

Found this little animated title sequence to be amusing: Trekat

MUSEUM OF FORGOTTEN ART SUPPLIES



The first class we take in design school is a materials, tools & comping techniques class. They introduce us to the basic tools and tricks of the trade. It's only been 3 years since I took that class but some of those art supplies are about ready to enter the Museum of Forgotten Art Supplies.

M.I.S.S. CREW BLOG



Apart from working on final projects these last couple of weeks, I was also working with Gabriella (Mama Clothing) & Liz (The Goods!) on redesigning the M.I.S.S. Crew blog (which I also blog on) layout and a couple of other pages. Gabriella & Liz did an amazing job putting the finishing touches on it (the main page and special features pages).

Check it:
M.I.S.S. CREW is grown and sexy and we're excited to announce the re-launch of MISSCREW.COM!! Big Thanks to Amanda Lopez for her beautiful photography on our home page.

SONS OF MILES (FINAL)



My 9th semester at the Academy of Art is over. 9th SEMESTER! I've been going there every Summer, Fall & Spring since 2004. I thought about taking this Summer off (especially since I'm not getting any financial aid this Summer...grrr) but I'm so close! If all keeps going well, I'll be graduating next Spring.

Anyway, My Type 3 book, "Sons of Miles" is done. See it above. Better pictures to come. I'll be making prints from the art work in it, if anyone is interested.

Your style icon may be in rehab but mine hangs in a Buffalo Stance!

LEGOLAND



The new LACIE external Lego Hard Drives are so awesome! I'd create a Legoland in my studio apartment with these filled with music!

JAMAICAN LABEL ART

This is insane...a 24 x 140 in long banner.. About what? Nothing but anything around that we should take a few seconds to get inspired by...

"SONS OF MILES"

The book I'm working on for my Type 3 class, "Sons of Miles," is 13 days away from being finished. Here's the "approved" cover (well, part of it, the right side got a little cut off...not in the mood to upload another):



I'm happy with it...not thrilled but happy.

Thoughts?

IT'S TRUE



"I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person."

AMY WINEHOUSE SHOW REVIEW



I've been horribly busy lately so I apologize for the lack of updates (Does anyone even check this anymore?!). The next two weeks are going to be scary stressful so any words of encouragement will be much appreciated :)

Last Thursday, I "snuck" out to Popscene (here is SF) to see Amy Winehouse (aka The Sad-"Snowboarder"-witha-Killer-Voice) open for Klaxons. I was on the guest list as a "writer" for Soundslam.com (Thanks again, Nick!) so I went alone (I had never been to a show alone!). I was a little nervous about doing a show write-up because, well, I'm not a writer! Bekka (aka Copy Writer Extraordinaire) was kind enough to edit my piece...Thanks again, B!

So here it is...along with a video from the show: Amy Winehouse Concert Review

Enjoy!

(PS...Feedback would be awesome! Thanks!)
