Since when was is June?

Damn, summer hit quick.....


So, I haven't got much to update right now. My camera with files on it is at a different apartment >.<


But I have mostly been working on a massive research project anyways.

I am going to be researching activism and activist art. I will end up looking at various movements of art and activism, how they used different media for political means. The influences on the movements and what came after them will also be important. Another thing I plan to look into is just how powerful the movement was, as a lot of movements today are far reaching I want to come up with some reasons why from an art standpoint.

This project will also be producing some original works too so I can't wait for that part.



Only other work coming up is some graffiti on girls stuff for a contest. I should have some rough work up this or next week though.

Type and Graphic Upload

Hey, 

Some quickie works i haven't had time to upload for a while:

Just Sh It.

Based on some disturbing riot shields i saw online

this one is more a quick test of an idea,

i want to try messing with some

typeface manipulation

and possibly design...

These are mostly rough quick works...

Semester is over and ill be posting recent works soon.

I have schemes....

Some New Digital Works

Between being in a Graphic Design class, a Typography one, and Digital Media, as well as making a magazine.....theres been some random experimenting with digital work again. This is something I should have been doing all along, but I'm just starting to spool up the engines after a long period of half-assin it.

This last ones still got a lot of work left to do...

but im kinda stuck on what to do to it.

Spray Can sculpture

Been working on this thing in sculpture. Making a scaled up spray paint can from steel n stuff. Getting to play with mig welding and an acetalene torch. Can't wait to finish this piece.

New Semester....New schemes.....

Got another fun-filled semester ahead. Classes include Digital Media, Graphics Design, a Typography class and Sculpture/Fabrication.


Digital Media: Rehash of a lot of my GDesign work from high school and generic screwing around...still..... it'll be good to learn some new techniques and practice more. I need to get back into cranking out work in all media regularly.

Graphic Design: Intro course. I managed to up my credits for it (hopefully) but ill have to do more work. Its ok, more stuff to put in a portfolio. First project? Pretty much a repeat of my first high school GD assignment. Prolly gonna experiment in free class-time.

Typography: FUUUUUUUUU-/ Seriously. I just have a lot of bad experiences with "typographers". Not all of them are stuck-up elitist pricks, but unfortunately many i have met are. Which sucks because this class has potential to carry over to my graffiti and I also think I could teach some of the kids the free-styling aspect and that some of them could help me tighten up my standard letters. I'll just have to hope for the best. First project? Hand drawing and tracing letters of the "Clarendon" typeface. Pics to come.

Sculpture: Schedules right after type for a reason. Its an awesome stress reliever and it feels great to be working with my hands again. First piece I am making? A Pyro-worthy Ax, hand-carved from various woods using really old tools and techniques.


PLACES: its not one of my classes, but it is the club I am VP of. Itll be a fun year with this. Got plenty of workshops and lessons lined up and several rituals, basically once a week. Also hoping to get some photo-ops with that.



Got a shitton of other things going on to, but I think this is enough of my headspace for now//

Graffiti fun 01July2012

love doing this,

Its Happening Again

Ok, so winter vaca wasnt totally useless. But it was for this blog, didnt end up posting anything.

Well, i did work, mostly concept sketching tho and some cool graffiti letter paintings for my siblings for xmas which i forgot to take pics of. Oops.

Hoping to get some pics up of the sketching ive been doing so this at least shows some progress n stuff, maybe even start some system of a weekly upload (gasp!)


This semester should be more promising because im in three different art classes as opposed to my norm of only one- heres hoping!

Gettin back to basics

Boredom and paint.
