looks like
ever since going to creative growth art center in oakland (creativegrowth.org), i've been really inspired and have begun to redraw my line drawings with a lot more fervor and intensity; i'm on track to actually finishing all of them by the time i get back from new york city.i'm extremely happy about my state of affairs in the art-print world: i was recently commissioned to design a few coloring pages for a local artist, a lot of which would give my name some credibility, at least here in the bay area. i'm trying to show in a few galleries, but mostly i'm focusing on being really prolific with this bout of inspiration. i'm stamping, papercrafting, illustrating, and most of all, my secret passion of designing and redesigning identities.
expect a few pieces of merchandise to emerge from this.

i've recently rewatched the entire marcel pagnol trilogy of marius, fanny, and cesar, and have come to realize that it would make a really sweet movie if it were remade today.
someone wanna help me with this? we'll go to marseilles for a scouting report.

crazed about a new t-shirt fetish. new slogans and stencil ideas keep popping up, but there's not enough time to keep up. though the color schemes are winning: chocolate brown shirt with pink ink, black shirt with white ink, mint green shirt with neon orange ink, and light blue shirt with dark blue ink.
appropriate/funny slogans come off as:
- chez monnieux
- don't ask me anymore
- say 'nispy' ten times fast
- a 'no kissing' sign
- free hugs!
- sorry about your face

creativity abounds with the new camera. when i have a better internet connection, i'll upload them to my flickr / facebook accounts, assuming of course i'll have the time to do so.
it is an exceptionally gloomy june in berkeley, but new york is another story.
i've been recently taking photographs of my vinyl toys in weird situations (dogs crossing the street, playing in the grass, running after cars). ask me if you wanna see some prints; i'll have to show those in an album sometime.

i miss home. maybe i'll go back to southern california in july.
