New, Old Video

Just found an older hip-hop video I had never seen from one of my favorite groups (who may or may not be together any longer depending on what month it is).

What's New?

Lots have been happening in the past couple of weeks. I've been pretty busy with lots of stuff...so here we go:
Got snowed in with Caitlin for the initial storm. Being snowed in can be cool. Or it can suck. But being snowed in with someone is way more fun than being snowed in by yourself! We went to the grocery store, expecting to have to elbow other people out of the way...but it was actually pretty civilized. Even the bread and milk aisles were in good condition. They're usually cleaned out like people are going to be trapped in their houses for a week when the weathermen start threatening with lots of snow. Needless to say I was pretty surprised! Picked up a few things so I could flex on my stir-fry abilities (which are pretty dope if you don't know....check out this bit of radness I just made tonight:)



Then we made the best of the rest of the day, watching movies, watching the snow fall and just generally being rad together. On the way to work on Saturday, I snapped a quick flick of this little accident:



-Two poor Japanese dudes wrecked it by themselves into the metal-guard-rope thing on the side of the road. Sucks!

The past couple of days have been spent cleaning and packing as I'm moving come January 1st. The new place is super dope and it's just down the street. Great neighbors, great space. Should be great overall. I can't wait to have a room that's a dedicated studio. Should be pretty rad! I've got some good plans for the new place! However, I do hate packing. And cleaning. They suck. But the upside is that I'm trying to throw out as much crap as I can so I have way less to pack. The more that goes into the garbage bin, the less that has to get unpacked.

Xmas is in a couple of days and it's tough to get in the spirit when I have so many other things going on. Looking forward to having Xmas off to continue packing. I'm staying home, resting and packing. Can't wait to get more work done. On the art front, I've got a couple of holiday pieces in the works for family, working on the new Pedal Power shirt designs, finishing up jeresys for the Scorchers, and getting a few new Ghostship hoodies worked on. 2009 is looking to be a dope year. Snapped a cool artsy photo the other day just before the big snowfall...enjoy!

Weekend Fun

An awesome weekend for sure! C and I headed up to Mass MoCA on Saturday. We made the long drive up, and were amazed as we started our trip through the Berkshires. As you probably know, there was a bitch of an ice storm that has left many residents of NH, as well as MA and VT with no power. We saw some of the aftermath. The tree-tops glazed with a coating of light reflecting ice. It wasn't too bad as we were heading there. We got on the twisty, windy road of RT 2, and as we crested the mountain, it was markedly more drastic! Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING (except the road) was crusted with ice. There were lots of road crews out chainsawing trees so they wouldn't break and fall on cars driving past. It was pretty amazing. Beautiful for sure!

So we hit up the MoCA and saw lots of cool art. Some exhibits were better than others, but if you've never been, you should hit it up to see the building itself! It's located in a reclaimed factory building. Lots of big windows that let in plenty of light, and lots of cool architectural stuff going on. If it weren't so far away, I'd definitely have a membership. So much fun to visit!

We hit up Northampton on the way home for some burritos, used books and shoe shopping. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything I liked. Oh well. Also on the unfortunate tip, is the fact that I left my camera home, so no rad photos of the ice-trees. Next time....

Excited for the Weekend!


-art'n the place up w. a photo of my fridge.

Anticipating an awesome weekend! Heading to the Market tomorrow to pick up some extra hours tuning boards, mounting skis, and generally just being a shop rat (listening to loud punk rock, making crude jokes, trying not to inhale too much wax smoke, talking about life w. Joe and Aaron, etc). Having dinner after work with a beautiful girl and then causing some trouble? Sleeping in late on Saturday, going into work late (cause I stayed late tonight), Scorcher's meeting that evening. Staying with one of the boys in New Haven, Raf's cooking us breakfast Sunday AM, then heading up to Boston to terrorize with about 7 other team guys. Poker Run race in the afternoon, free beer, burritos and roller-races that evening.

This has all the makings of an epic weekend for sure!

Making Up for Lost Time...

Experimenting w. my little point-and-shoot.


-the 'mandatory-myspace' photo?...


-I think this reflects how tired I was when I shot it fairly well. hahahaha!

Thanksgiving.

I took my camera with me and had the best intentions of shooting during the holiday. But the overwhelming urge to relax caused me to forget it in the car when we got to my sisters. So you're left with mostly artsy-fartsy shit from my car ride. Enjoy!
