ROLL BY GROWING.

SCHOOL SHOPPING:

(l to r: tiimo)

STORY:
tiimo and i drifted across the 10 to get south of downtown only to find the store we wished to use to purchase from was closed. we crossed over to the screen depot and handled our business. i'm now ready to make my first screen print.

========================================

PIZZA EATING:

(l to r: ashley, sam, and mike)

STORY:
went to TOWER PIZZA and enjoyed my favorite pizza in the city of angels.

========================================

DEAL OR NO DEAL:



STORY:
sam, brigette, ashley, and i went to a taping of DEAL OR NO DEAL. suprisingly, the episode we witnessed will be aired on january 1st of 2009. i had no idea they taped so far in advance, but it seems as though they do. the taping of the episode was almost 4 hours long, but twists and turns should make for very entertaining television.

TO NOTE:
if you watch the episode, look for the four of us behind the main woman and howie. we sat in the seats that are seen most often in the show and i can be found wearing glasses that read "2009" across my face.

========================================

OTIS FACULTY SHOW:

STORY:
as of august 25th, i am now back at OTIS COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN. almost one week in, the teachers are good and the kids are friendly. let the good times roll.

========================================

MOST BUSINESSES DON'T DO THIS:


THOUGHTS:
i wonder if many businesses would be as successful if they offered this sort-of open, competition-friendly phone lines with other similar businesses on the speed dial. i thought it was a very odd yet simple idea that can really help a customer trust a business. although, the internet is changing every business practice in the world; nothing beats hearing a voice on the end of the line tell you direct.

========================================

THE KIDS RETURN:

(l to r: MIKE and GEORGE)

AND ON:
i was walking through school when i noticed an advertisement for a roommate. then, i noticed an image that was mine. then, i remembered sending mikey the image. nice work, mikey. the ad looks great. hope you find a smelly, rude person soon!

CUT LANDS.

GETTY VILLAS:
sam's parents came out and invited me to join them for a trip to the GETTY VILLAS. a few months back, i had GONE to the other museum for school. the main museum is absolutely breathtaking, but the villas are a completely different experience. the main idea of the villas, as i understood it, was to create a roman, grecian, and estruscan experience. with the statues, paintings, jewelry, and pottery, the villas are a beautiful place to go spend a day and even pick up a POSTCARD. thanks to the greggs for the great time!

YOUNGLIFE:


STORY:
recently, my madre ask me to work on a design for joplin-area YOUNGLIFE. the theme, "in their shoes", was nice to work with. i've really been enjoying trying to make improvements in my cursive and this project gave me a proper opportunity to display it. using a generic high top shoe, i wanted to created type using shoe laces and, then, shoe laces in the eye-holes. this is a short display of the process to the final product.

SEEN MORE.

FFFFOUND:


STORY:
a few months back, i had posted a design i had done based on a JEFF STAPLE quote from a health magazine. the piece, which i featured in A POST, has gone on to other hands and other levels.

about 7 hours ago, IT WAS FEATURED on one of my favorite sites, FFFFOUND. i was ffffound by ERIK CARTER. thanks mr. carter!

i was extremely happy to see it had been "ffffound." it was a huge honor for me, to be appreciated as well as reach a bigger audience.

ON THE SITE:



========================================

CONTROVERSY:


as newton says, for all actions, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

and i quote:
"Travis said...

Looks like somebody is ripping someone else's shit off...blatantly.

THE SUPPOSED RIP-OFF:


STORY:
sadly, i wish i could tell travis that i didn't rip this off. i hadn't seen this piece until today, when travis made the comment on it. it looks as though ASHLEY PIGFORD did the piece shown above. though, i hadn't heard of her before this came to my attention, i really think she did a fantastic job on the aforementioned poster.
