Oregon 2009

Caitlin and I headed to Oregon so I could marry my friends Adam and Kanani. Some old friends showed up and we made some new ones as well. Here's the slideshow until I get around to the write-up.

Dr Sketcheys...April Edition

Went down to the Elm City this past Sunday to partake in the first (of hopefully many) Dr Sketchey's Anti-Art school events. It basically a rock-concert version of live model drawing. Well, maybe not that intense, but a lot more fun than a traditional figure drawing class. Here're some flicks:


-This is pretty much where I was sitting....not sure how Linda got this shot without me realizing it...maybe before I got there?


-Kiki burying the ex...


-This one netted me some rad talking animal markers.



Then I went to Caitlin's, she made an awesome dinner, we watched some TV, fell asleep on the couch and even got to sleep in on Monday! A rad Sunday for sure.

Afternoon Snack...

Digger hooked up the cupcakes, I hooked up the coffee....perfect for a raw, cold afternoon.

Photos...Words...

I've been up to a few things in the past month or so...and I took a couple photos...


-Caitlin bought me a new thermos. I did it up promptly and proper with a few stickies...it's been carrying coffee safely in my messenger bag to work pretty much every day. Right now it's been neglected for the past couple of days in my living room and is in need of a good scrubbing...:(


-Met up at the Pan one fine evening with Tony, Tina, Schmidt and his lady-friend. I didn't know he had a lumberjack beard going...took me by surprise.


-Tony got bested by the Treasure Box game...again....


-Get up!


-Anti-Theft Device....


-Went with my boy Adam to the NYC Comic-Con. Lots of weirdos. Lots of cool geek stuff. That's Adam sitting on the panel for Hip-Hop and Comic Books along with DMC, Kyle Baker, Johnny Juice, Chuck D and James Bomb.

Caitlin and I went to Boston and saw....

-A shitty, oversized, gas-guzzling land-barge...


-The Shepard Fairey show at the ICA...


-The ocean...


-!Incredible! Thai food...


-her sister's boyfriend's awesome band...


-A shoe...


-Her super, super, sweet cat Mya.

Back home...

-Doug had his 30th...with the usual cast of characters.


-And some kind of fry tower?


-I rode to work...it rained...


-...and turned my skull sideways...

A few more randoms for you...

-Mya read me a bedtime story...


-I thought of Shawn when I saw these and had to take a photo...


-She's shy...


-Caitlin turning the tables...

Until next time...

Day Off Project

I rocked out yesterday ninja-ing some laundry, getting groceries and building a bike rack. Who needs a fancy $60 bike rack when $17 gets you a 2x4, a couple lag screws, drill bits and a few bike hooks? Gett'n rad in my kitchen:



Stoked for an "anti-Valentines Day" weekend with Caitlin up in Boston. The girl hates on the V-Day so we figured that we'd make it the most un-V-Day by staying at her Mom's place...hahahaha! Apparently she's got lots of fun stuff planned! Can't wait! Been working on getting my studio into shape, getting there, slowly but surely. I'm actually going to get to work on a piece tonight.

Rode to work for the first time in forever today! With the weather being in the high 50's, there was no excuse not to! I feel like I've got my work cut out for the upcoming cycling season...motivation to ride the rollers is pretty weak this year. I can't wait for the nicer weather!

Great Art

Jim Mahfood has one of the most powerful and touching works of art I've seen in a while. Check it out here.

Newness!

So I'm pretty much all moved. I've got a few assorted odds and ends that need to be moved over here. Planning on getting the rest of it tomorrow. Getting the majority of it all here went pretty smoothly. Moving a couple of blocks (essentially) away is fairly easy. Borrowed a truck to get the big stuff here and utilized Caitlin's legendary moving powers to get it all in.

First impressions of the new place, well, it's big. Like, really, really big! Easily twice the size and close to three times my old place. And it's fucking cold! Apparently, there's no more oil left in the tank. So that means I have to scramble to find someone to fill the tank, bleed the line and light the furnace before I can stay warm on the daily. First order of business was to get all of the windows sealed in plastic. That made a pretty big difference already. So now I'm rockin' the space heater so I can sleep comfortably, not too bad. Nailed up an old comforter to separate a couple of rooms. That seems to have helped as well. I've got a few other tricks up my sleeve, but need to really start unpacking and putting-away to get things in order. Stoked to have tomorrow off and start making my place look a little more homey.
