I don't believe in believin' in nothin.

Forgive the lack of blogging, please! I finished up the logo for Roni Kobrosly's Rochester Study of Healthy Minds and Bodies. This project was definitely a departure from what I normally do, and it was a great learning experience for expanding my repertoire of projects. I'm really happy with how the final image came out!

I'm working on my next show, slated for September, which is bike themed. I actually drew this sketch out on a day where I was a bit stressed out about cycling.

Now it's in the works to becoming a multi layered window piece! Yay!

The final will have the stone wall, and a bright sky background. I want to utilize some new medias for this piece.

Finally, I rode the 65 mile leg of the Rochester Sage-Rutty Tour de Cure for Team Chain Reaction this past weekend! The completion of this marked the first team sport that I've actively participated in since I played soccer (very badly) in 6th grade. I feel like it was a milestone for my personal athleticism, and it definitely made me want to participate in more tours... both in Rochester and elsewhere. There's something to be said about experiencing an area with just you, your bike, the countryside, and your thoughts. Some might say it's my personal zen.

Ever since I saw the film Exit Through the Gift Shop, my eyes have been peeled for new and different graffiti in my city. There's a sweet bike tour coming up in Rochester to tour graffiti around the city, what could possibly be better??!!! I noticed this new guy on my way to Pittsford this morning.

It was a week of some sweet bike rides, including one out to Charlotte Beach. There was the most beautiful weather, although no swimming.

This was on a ride home from Wegmans after seeing SOME STUDIO SPACES IN THE HUNGERFORD BUILDING! That's right, as of September I will be amongst some of my friends renting a studio in this wonderful building... and it will be my first studio outside of my house since I was in undergrad. I got to explore a few studios of friends who work there currently, which only fed my excitement tenfold. A perfect evening capped off with a glorious sunset!

One of my friends at a group ride had this sticker on his bike, which I had to send immediately to my Prius-lovin-parents. Tee hee :)

Woooo sketchbook! It's about time I drew the man who has the midas touch when it comes to collaborations in music, Danger Mouse, aka Brian Burton. I've loved (and still do love) so many of the things he's had a hand in during the past few years. I've also secretly wanted an afro all of my life... and drawing it helped me live vicariously through his.
