Jultane and Ava

Jultane is one of my truest, dearest friends. Over the years, we used to talk often, but saw each other very infrequently. Recently I haven't seen seen her since the wedding and the birth of her 1st extremely cute child named Ava. I had been threatened with bodily harm since last year to visit, so I finally made it over to spend some time and catch up on the changes of motherhood.


Ava is so adorable

Lauren and Charney

I have to work on doing more design; I'm doing way more photography. It seems to be falling in my lap. At lest I'm keeping busy so I shouldn't complain.

I shot Lauren and her friend Charney a few weeks ago and we had a good time. I'm glad Charney could do make up; I already feel like Jay Manuel from Americas Next Top Model, directing their poses, now I gotta do make up and hair too? Well, whatever makes the shot better


Using make up artists' is definitely the next level of my advancement. It's such a difference. I like how things came out.

Illustrator Pat Kinsella

I was looking at some artwork hanging up in North Bowl and I discovered the work of fellow Tyler School of Art Alumni Pat Kinsella.

I like his brush stroke style; it reminds me of Image comic book The Maxx illustration.

Barack Obama: A More Perfect Union Speech 2008

I know this is supposed to be about design, but I can't ignore the historical politics thats going on around me, and I refuse to ignore what may be the best speech about race in America that I have heard in my life time.

Barack Obama speaks in Philadelphia, PA at Constitution Center, on matters not just of race and recent remarks but of the fundamental path by which America can work together to pursue a better future.

I wish I there just to hear his words and feel the emotion (and the hate) in the room.

Man, I just started this thing, and fell off already...

...but at least I have a good reason.

I been sick with one of the 5 diseases that have been floating from person to person since early Feb. If you don't know, or haven't caught it yet, here's the line up:

1. Flu
2. Bronchitis
3. Ear Infection
4. Stomach Virus
5. Tonsillitis

A few weeks ago, everyone I know (or their kids of families) had one or more of these winter time terrors. Reason #1 why I hate cold weather. But enough bitching about that. I'm feeling better now and I'ma get back to posting about design shortly
