Parks, Bands & Margaritas

That's what summer is all about, no?
I haven't been going to a lot of shows in the last couple of years but recently my friends have gotten their shit together and I can't be happier for them. I've stepped out and actually even brought my camera!
Last week I went to see my friend Brendans band Drew & the Medicinal Pen at Rooftop Films across the street from Mcarren Park.
But before that we did that mandatory margaritas & tacos at the park






Brendan doing his thing.

Then yesterday went to see Hercules and Love Affair. Congrats guys the show was great.Audience was loving it. All around blast.

Peace out bitches...

I'm going to the land of El Guapo. See you back next week

A moment of humility

I love this

Mexico & Mad Men

There are 2 things that I am really looking forward to in the next two weeks.

1. My Vacation. I have not had one since 2005 and I'm a bit cranky now. I will be going to Cozumel, Mexico on July 22nd. Woohoo!! This will be my first solo vacation. At first the idea of going alone scared me but I realize now that I need a vacation from everyone as well as everything. So I've embraced my independence and can't wait. I'll be doing a whole lot of this:



and a whole lot of this

2. The new season of Mad Men starts on July 27th(the day I return). In my opinion this is one of the best new shows in years. It was created by Matthew Weiner who is a former writer for one of my other favorite shows The Sopranos. It's set in early 1960's New York at an advertising agency. The complexity of the characters and amazing writing, even the great costume & set design really sets this show above the rest. I can't believe HBO turned this show down. Thumbs up to AMC for having the guts to make something great in a sea of shitty reality shows and talent competitions.

IT'S BEEN A WHILE

I don't think I've posted anything new for about a year now... bad me.
I'll start with some new work and a photo or two of the good times.

These are some floral prints that will hopefully be on sweaters in stores soon...and a lady because I like to draw them.

Good times at the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival
Awesome line up:
Buckshot
Keith Murray
Dj Premiere
Jeru the Damaja
KRS-One
I tried to get good stage footage but that requires footwork & dexterity that I just wasn't in the mood for. I just wanted to hear all my favorite jams and enjoy the lovely day on the river.


The Waterfalls are so pretty.....


Kate & Matt


Only decent video footage. Very agro man but fun nonetheless.
