new me!

been bummed out for the last little while,

more than expected.

however....

i recharged myself in calgary for 10 days.

i am focused,

and ready to change my lfe.

again.

first off shout outs to everyone i saw while i was out there in cgy AND edm.

it was the first time i went back to edmonton

since...'06ish?

YO OH! shout outs to dave c, warren and mike....

plus the bioware posse that was still holdin it down out there.

shout out to my family,

ken, dhenny, chad, shannon,

josh, GRILLS, and anyone else i missed...

and i missed out on a bunch of people in cgy,

but ill hit u up next time.

anyways, this is week one of a 3 month "life changer."

a change in diet and cooking.

a change in excerize (now going to run and crossfit)

a change in mindset

a change in scheduling my off time.

sounds like alot?

its not.

alot of friends told me its alot.

i choose to think positive, and i can do anything.

so get hype for me, and its ON.

i will document this somehow.

keep an eye on this page for some ish.

currently listening to:

alicia keys - girl on fire lp (shit is FIRE)

die antwoord - tension lp (shit is FIRE PT 2)

 

currently playing:

a whole bunch of nothing! (wtf?)

below:
found this song through VICE.
this take me back to starter caps andair force 1s
oh snap! - bill cosby sweater

and
apathy + dj premier featuring celph titled - stop whatcha doin
"the humpty dance" sample in the chorus is HYPE.
premo doin it like he always doez.
YO DAAAAAAAAAAAMN!

and
celph titled featuring majik most - baldwin brothers

5000

 

 

yo o's!!

was goin nuts last night....

won some tickets from work for game one ALDS vs. the yankees,

but would only get to go if they beat tha texASS rangers last night.

5-1....O'S!

#HOLDDATL

i love cheering for underdogs and smaller team markets.

texas had thier glory last year,

now hopefully its baltimore's time.

what a grind....

it sucks that after a 160+ game season it comes down to 1 game.

SUPER WACK.

and it also sucks that this coming series is a best out of 5.

WTF.

i am going to be goin nuts tomorrow night.

the crowd will be amped.

well, maybe i will get on tv? haha probably not.

damn i am so hype.

funny,

growing up...i could give 2 shits about baseball.

but i remmeber my dad being into japanese baseball,

and couldnt get it.

but now that i am here,

espn constantly running stats and basically teaching me the hype about the game,

and help but go nuts.

its like tsn and sportsnet constantly showing nhl shit.

i miss hockey,

there is no coverage here

 thus no one cares.

sucks.

ahopefully tomorrow during the day ill jump back to drawing again.

been off the train being bummed out,

but i think ive snapped out of it.

im ready run game and wreck shit.

time to step up the game and get buzy.

below:
rare dj premier...
teriyaki boyz - you know what time it is
just the beat, even though i liked how the boyz rocked on it.
just good to vibe to while running
or on a bike ride.

5000.

upbeat!

ive been down and bumming out
for the last couple of weeks,
real life happens sometimes.
not to worry,
i recognize these things alot faster than 5-6 years ago,
and i attack these things alot faster.
 

im now back on the positivity tip.

 im ready to turn things around and kick ass once again.
sometimes it is tough to get through
or figure out life in general...le sigh.

not to worry, ive snapped out of that shit...
im back on my grind and inspired to
continue on my projects.

(ill post something this weekend!)

now playing:
borderlands 2 (xbox 360)
(playing as siren)
tekken tag tournament 2 (xbox 360)
(trying to get good with lili and nina)
torchlight 2 (pc)
(playing berserker)
 

 now listening to:
g.o.o.d. music - cruel summer
common - the dreamer, the believer

fart projects:
random drawings
video edits (lots of rearranging)
 

i found common's first album,

and now on a common trip.

below is my favorite track off the last album:

common - celebrate

(i think about this when i reach home,

or probably when i get back to van.)

and another all time fav,
common featuring lauryn hill - retrospect for life
so much soul in this one,
it is missing in this bullshit rap thats going on right now.
sucks that common wasnt in cruel summer more what the fuck.

 

 

comiccon 2012!

baltimore comic con 2012!

i always get inspired at these things to level up.

i saw all levels of drawing at this one,

and was surprized at how everyone's game

has stepped up.

(in comparison to seattle comic con)

i think overall the seatlle one was better,

since it was bigger.

but this one had a different flavor and could measure up in time,

if it keeps growing. 

im super happy to meet the artists above:

brandon peterson

brian stelfreeze

jeff darrow (holy shit!)

i had a chance to meet some

others but didnt get good pics so i didnt post.

ill probably post these to flickr soon.

ive got some video from the con,

hope to post those at some point...

but for now i have to find out where and how to post those.

still blastin epmd!
below is a remix i havent heard:
epmd - give to the people (erick and parrish remix)
and this one i have laying around soemwhere:
epmd - headbanger (remix) 
i love how in both remixes,
the drums and bass were dropped super heavy.
wheres that at in todays music?
thats one to grow on.

good week!

holy shit im putting in work in illustrator!

i finished the black and white,

now its time to try....color?

how the fuck am i going to color this shit.

anyways...step one is done!

below:

ive been listening to a shitton of epmd these days.

they STILL kick so much ass.

epmd - you're a customer

the raps is BOSS, the beat is DEF.

also: roli rho (5th platoon djs)
he tears up the "youre a customer" beat at about :55 seconds.
YOU WANNA BATTLE? IM GOOD TO G-O!

epmd featuring ll cool j - rampage remix
i love all of the verses...this song kicks so much ass...but
the final verse yo damn.
E DOUBLE/ERICK SERMON:
"when i come around
homeboy watch yo nuggets
im a master on the beatdown
my style's rugged
when i attack the microphone
close the zone
rap see danger
can't roam
security is packed wall to wall
cant fall
my rap tank is full
so i cant stall
my microphone is filled with premium
any wack em cee that flexes
im creamin em
not with lotion
bust the motion
floatation
when im rockin the mic
im like coastin
underneath fatigue
at my peak
yo still seek a style
cause yours extra weak
new method
to rip the stage at my age
and get loose
and kick like bruce
when i rage
IM ON A RAMPAGE"

chillin with moo cows!

 

went to the state fair yesterday! 

finally took some photos and posted to flickr! 

had fun, not as much as the first time i went, but it was still fun.

im gonna try to find some of the other pics

ive taken over the past couple of years

and catch up on flickr.

i kinda thought my pics were ass,

(which is why i kinda fell off)

but now looking back...

its my shooting style and my subject matter.

 i still like my old photos,

even if some seem boring or too simplistic.

there is something to those photos for me,

that i dont see other photographers do.

so fuckit.

im gonna try to take more photos more often,

or at least post em more often than before.

heres the set:
