Last Saturday (Jan 14), James Jean was signing at Gallery Nucleus and I dropped by to pick up the book & got it signed by James “I’m fucking James Jean, bitch!” Jean. Cool dude, awesome artist, anddd I just noticed he drew a penis and signed it. Good Job James, you got me.

All week I’ve been listening to KoreansGoneBad podcast by David Choe, Harry Kim, Yoshi, & Joey. It is probably one of the most hilarious, sickest, raw, intense, real podcast out there. Must listen. James Jean also makes a few appearances on it. But David Choe is such a fucking beast on that thing.

After signing that night, I went to a friend’s birthday party….in a CASTLE in Hollywood! I was kind of tired that night and thought it was going to be at a club in Hollywood so I was going to pass then I hear it’s going to be at a castle! Colby’s in. I couldn’t get any great pics but these will do. It had a bridge, moat, the whole works.

The rest of week I was sick in and out of work but I made some sketches.

Saw a pic one an item on LAFIXED and I went to check out the catalog and I thought they were amazing. Vintagey – used feel but also seem really sturdy and well built/designed. I’ve been more into interior design lately, I guess its because I’ve been getting out of work earlier than usual and it seems like I have more things to do. But in reality I still have a lot of other side projects holding me back. I told myself I wouldn’t start another project until I free some time up.

I will probably try to design & build some simple tables/chairs just for practice in near future It might turn out really bad but trying is half the fun

A friend posted it on facebook and it is a really insightful read. Thought I share it

Always finding myself making excuses to not bike, procrastinate new design work, this helped me a little to not make those lame excuses.

I’ve always admired Nike as a brand and how they market their brand. This is one of the new commercials that they just released, pretty awesome.

If I wasn’t a graphic designer I think I would have been in architecture or interior design. It is always inspiring to see other types of design.
