I am a meat eater and an animal lover. I eat all meat and love all animals. Ironic? Not really. In Zambia while stopping for fifteen minutes during an eight hour bus ride I purchased a meat pie. This meat pie was unlike any meat pie you'd get here, for it was full of dog meat. What are people supposed to do when there is no water for crops, and no work to make money to buy better food for the family? Mother fucker's gotta eat, right?

Not for or against. I'm too confused to make statements. Oddly this is the third thing I've made recently concerning weapons. The striped vinyl tank, the handgun with bullets and now the diplomatic peace missile. I admit I have a lot of anger, but I'd rather not blow stuff up. Actually on a few occasions I have shot bullets and shotgun shells at various home appliances such as televisions (very satisfying as T.V. is the devil) two refrigerators and a microwave in the Nevada desert. The boy in me says "COOL" and the man in me agrees.
This little logo takes it's cue from the "Side Yard" logo I designed (it's a little further down the page). It was printed on tshirts for the "Backyard Gardens Softball" team. There was a problem though. The logo was meant for the back of the shirt and the folks I gave it to printed it on the front of the shirt. Why does that matter? If you ever see a female over the age of fourteen with a "Backyard Gardens" shirt you'll notice the "back" and the "dens" excentuating the curvature of her chest. I learned a major lesson with this one. (Oddly I'm wearing the shirt as I type, however it doesn't look funny on me as I have little to no pectorals anyway.)
Unemployed
The Latino laborer is the backbone of the unskilled labor force on the West coast. They are hands down the hardest and least expensive labor to be found. They break their backs for pennies doing menial jobs. Though they deserve our respect we do not give it to them. When I was a kid my father hired a man off the street corner to help till a garden he was making for my mother. He worked hard with my Dad digging and moving earth. I remember my mom making him lunch. A man willing to work deserves far more respect than a man with a cup. Deserves far more respect than the blood sucking executive lounging. Deserves more than being unemployed.Also, they don't wear red pants and a pointy witches cap. I made that up myself.
Arlyle won't watch nature videos. Though she loves animals she won't accept the fact that often survival depends on death. She thinks it's beauty lost in a horrible process. Dead butterflies is all she sees. I see it the opposite. The process of survival is amazing to me. Death and life are equally necessary and I find that to be the most beautiful part.
That Pink Piano
I wrote and recorded this song a few years ago. I made the video because I couldn't just post the song without a video without going through a bunch of internet bullshit. Don't watch just listen. I got the horn sample from a Count Basye song if I remember correctly.
Chainsaw Logo (ignore watermark)
This is my logo. It took me two weeks to get where I wanted to. People usually associate chainsaws with horror movies. I really tried hard to make it friendly and simple. I'm finding the simple stuff is often the hardest to get to. Sorry about the watermark but I think a dude has been lifting my shit. With the constant influx of information from the internet respect for copyright has been watered down. I began asking permission to use peoples Flickr photos when I need them for an ad or any other project. I was walking through the hall of the Advertising Department of my school awhile ago and some crooked fucker had used one of my pictures for an ad. I would have taken it as a compliment but it was a miserable ad for Timbuk2 messenger bags. Luckily he didn't give me credit for the photo. He never will but I hope he reads this.
Akai Reel to Reel
This is a small version of my reel to reel player. It's not done yet. I've been working on it for about 8 months now. It's never done. Will be printed in Gold Vinyl hopefully this week. Giant. Made from scratch using reference in Illustrator. You don't have to be a genius, but goddamn you have to be persistent.
Birthday card for the younger. Can't remember what birthday it was for. Even though it is a description of her love for junk all that is pictured belongs to me. The flower was a dried flower that I shot upside down. All else was shot together. Notice the picture under the concert ticket. Her and I in 1998 driving in her beat up brown Subaru.
Wheelie!
I'm never really impressed with much that I make. Sometimes I feel that I'm just rearranging the same elements that everyone else has been rearranging for years. I try very hard to be original but with limited skill I find I miss the mark. Wheelies are fucking cool though.
mic
Started with picture of microphone (sweet vintage). Proceeded to trace using vector shapes and pen tool in illustrator (took fucking forever luckily though I was in bed for a few days after a hernia operation). Added a boring background and now I have a great vector mic to use as I damn well please.
moto gp
Shot this at MotoGP two years ago. Talk about power. You only see the racers for a split second but when they go by you definitely know why you're there. The raw power is felt in the marrow.
