Coffee and Cigarettes

This page seems to be the most practical and simple. It also seems to reflect some of my personality, primarily the lazy, messy, and unkempt side. I also have a sense that this has already been done, but I could be wrong. This page isn't done yet either, with some slight work needing to be done with the second ring. I have also been noticing how my sense of the English language has been demoted to that of a fourth grader, but one that should be a fifth grader. This fourth grader also has a bigger sister who is in junior college, and she started liberally applying all of these big words that she has learned from her english class to her vocabulary. This big sister now uses these big words to insult her fourth grade brother, who is at the same time perplexed at the phonetic beat boxing, intrigued at the verbal fireworks exploding before him, and hurt because of her intent. He then attempts to use these big words on the playground, and finds that his new wordage is like macaroni and cheese served at a five star restaurant, confusing and cheesy.

Portfolio Cover Page

It's turning into a reoccurring event now, and here is my favorite. I know this is the one that no one will appreaciate, and I do recognize that it is not very readable, but this is the one with most personality. Criticisms welcome, plus I know I am honored enough to have a number of famous graphic designers read le blog, hack away. Stay tuned, there should be a new one up everyday.

Karate for Christmas

Well the actual flier says "Karate for the Holidays", but I think they missed out on a gold mine. I mean it was right there in front of them. Take for example when you go to the zoo there is a tamed tiger in a cage waiting, lying there right in front of you, ready to kill, but you don't see it because it has stripes. But more importantly lets think of the social consequences of someone giving you the kick ass gift of karate for Christmas. What is that person trying to say or allude to? Are you not strong or intimidating enough to fend for yourself? So for the holiday of giving, brotherly love, and forgiveness they would rather you learn how to kill, harm, and incapacitate. Or maybe it is a completely random gift and in honor of our saviour, they want you to know how to kick a little harder and be able to wear a bathrobe with various colored belts. But I take that back, I would like to think that if I was givin the gift I would be honored, because the gift of life is the greatest gift, and so through the ancient and potent art of karate I am protecting my greatest gift. The best part is that the flier is actually a postcard also.

Bonus: Pictures of my karate years from the archives, turns out I was a red belt and all of this time I have been saying I was only a yellow with 2 stripes.

What the Krispy Duck!?

Oh boy, I am a joker. Anyways the next animal in the Krispy series is now done, Krispy Duck. He was much easier than Krispy Dog.

SONG

http://www.mediafire.com/?7wmnhqncpy9 

I re-discovered this album from AC Newman, the leader of the the band the New Pornographers. It's my favorite track off the album, and it was between this or a song by Sade. I'll keep that one in my treasure chest for later. 

2:14 AM

Krispy Dog is now done and happily residing in his comfy abode of a dog house, known to us non-krispy beings as the freezer. He lays next to towering mountain the packaged cow meat from my grandfathers dairy farm, a large bag of Trader Joe's Organic green beans, and an army of ice cube trays. I fear that between now and Christmas I will become attached to Krispy. It is already taking place every time I open the freezer to retrieve a chicken breast or some veggies. I see Krispy there, cheerfully existing in his arctic paradise, laying guard to the cornucopia of culinary delights saying "Hey there, it's all good in the hood bro. I'm made out of freakin inflated sugar gelatin and puffed rice, but I'm still kickin it hardcore. Chip up." 

I have to move on though, because we all know life. Up next, Krispy Duck. 

Krispy Dog Done

I Found My Brother

I mean that in the most least racist way possible, but I really found him. You have to realize that all through out elementary school and jr. high my best friends were African American, and I feel like I needed to continue that trend. His bike was the stupidiest. 

Project Christmas Dog Krispy

There has been little progress........., at least physically. The krispy dog is  becoming clearer and more concrete in my "mind's eye" as days pass. He is a cheerful beast, one that will bring Christmas cheer to who ever receives him. The Christmas caroling is also progressing. 

First Post, New Adventure

I'm going to venture into the world of rice krispy treat sculptures. My goal is by the end of this upcoming week to have completed a Bull Terrier dog sculpture. There will be continual updates on this as the days go by.
