Stroll Around your Neighborhood

I believe that every neighborhood has their own special beauty and charm. Living in Brooklyn, it DEF. had it's own style and pizazz. For a school assignment, we were to shoot photos of an environmental space and create them into a magazine story. I chose the walk between the Pratt campus, to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. These were some of my results:

Hipster Town

Williamsburg in NY is a pretty neat area to go to. During my college days, friends and I sometimes went there for restaurants, clubs, bars, shopping, or just to walk around. There are a ton of art galleries or just random art on the street. We also took loads of playful pictures.

Quick as a Fox

I  actually did this vector a long time ago but I thought I would share it.
It isn't being used anywhere yet but I've been getting some great ideas..

I was sorta reminded of the fox vector when I was watching Home Movies with their use of shadows. I thought it was simple and clever.

Harry Potter Me

Hope Everyone in the USA had a fabulous Memorial Weekend :)


::SPOILER ALERT:: 

(Honestly.. I don't really spoil much of the book and if I did.. shame on you for not reading them!)

The LAST movie of Harry Potter is coming out pretty soon... I feel soo many emotions about this. I'm gonna be honest by saying that I did get into Harry Potter BECAUSE I saw the first Movie in theater. But (of course) after reading the 3rd Book, I was completely hooked with the series. Sirus became my favorite character, which is why the 5th book literally tore my heart out. The 7th book.. LA LA LA, lets just say most of it didn't happen. Oh JK Rowling...

Anyway I thought I would share an oldie but a goodie poster I did during school. Assignment was to simply depict your favorite quote on a poster size of 18x24. Being who I am, (complete Harry Potter nerd) I chose the following:

"Happiness can be found even in the Darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the Light." --Albus Dumbledore.

One of my favorite quotes of the series... I think its pretty self-explanatory. :)


What is your favorite Harry Potter Quote?

Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day Everyone!

Friends and I are going on vacation to the OBX for the whole weekend so I wanted to post this before heading out!

Photo above was taken at Green Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY. These are the grave of where Civil War Vets. It's a pretty incredible landmark and if your ever near that area, I would definitely check it out! They have alot of activities for Memorial Weekend too.

I'm going to OBX with a couple of friends for memorial and I'm really sad that the forecast is showing thunderstorms all weekend… really sucks. We were planning on parasailing too… hopefully it's wrong or at least during the evening.

Another sad situation is that my harddrive lost half a years work from my junior year….
this is currently all I can see at the moment from my files:

But you know, they sorta look cool and intentional with their vivid colors and patterns.

I think this might be leading to something :)

Ha! I love this show… I do miss Chowder though. I was really sad to see it go. The animation was soo sweet. 

Adventure Time (image above) isn't so bad though. I think it's really funny that the Rainbow Unicorn speaks only korean throughout the show. 

Just wanted to share this because of the awesome color palette. :)

Perhaps some more!?

Fall into Spring

Beautiful maple tree in front of my yard. Doesn't it have the feeling of Fall rather than Spring :)

I fell upon these dolls in the Aussie frankie magazine and gee golly they are adorable...

Seriously. I am head over heels in LOVE with these dolls. Will own the foxes and bunny someday!

A Hoot!

I'm always so negligent posting on this blog… So to help me get started, I'm going to try to feature an inspiration every other day. Hopefully that'll push me to blog more and get me in the groove.

So I've probably stated this a lot and many of my friends already know... I'm OBSESSED with owls. Probably why I follow the blog My Owl Barn, people there are JUST as obsessed (maybe even more than I am). I love how they show all these fantastic art projects from sculptures, paintings, to crafts by different artists. One of their recent features was of these really delightful rocks:

New Camera

I is getting a delicious new camera in a couple of weeks :3

Nikon D300s

If anyone has it, please let me know what you think of it.

Found this at a short adventure with my friend Roxie in Fort Green, Brooklyn.

Thought it was very beautifully done.

Lets Fly...

Ugh! I've neglected my own passion because of laziness... long story so I'm not going to even start.
I'm trying to get back into the groove by making a vow to myself to create a piece of artwork everyday..
HA I am already a couple of days behind. None the less, I have found my muse and have begun working again!

Still there is no such thing as a perfect plan. Problem? I have reverted back to becoming the working night owl. Sleeping by day and working by night. You're probably thinking... why is that so bad? Well... I do have a 9-5 job so coming into work with only 3-4hr sleep is.. exhausting. Not good being a sour grape at work. Alas.. never ending problems.

Anyway, here's the latest I'm working on. In the spirit of the holidays I've decided to create themed cards for festivities in a persons life. These include: birthdays, holidays, graduation, etc...

This is what I have for my first card. To be completely honest, I was going to make a "It's a Baby Boy!" card because one of my co-workers just had the most adorable baby name Jude and I wanted to make her a card.. but it's starting to look more like a birthday card.. We'll see how it turns out in the end.

I'll be posting the finished piece soon. (Hopefully..)
