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.

Verdict: Strong, oh yea. Very flavorful. It does pack a punch. I had a meeting tonight so I just made the cocktail (Ginger ale with Kraken). It was really good, I’m no expert but I like it a lot.

I love the attention to detail. The zipper buttons to the top of the pants when zipped up, also there is reinforcement on the belt loop. Awesome small details, too bad there weren’t any other colors in my size when I was there. The fit was good, not too slim or baggy however I didn’t like the material as much when I finally wore it for a few hours and sitting down.

Exhibition in August 27, 2011 – February 20, 2012

Widely regarded as one of the most influential industrial designers of our time, Dieter Rams produced iconic works and innovative ideas (in particular his advocacy for “less but better” design) that have proved seminal for our contemporary design culture. For more than 40 years, Rams was the lead designer for the German household appliance company Braun. He has also been the active designer for German furniture company Vitsœ since his start there in 1959. This exhibition includes more than 200 models and objects by Rams and his team, as well as contemporary designs in?uenced by his Ten Principles of Good Design, such as Apple computers.

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
