Spring Break is almost here! However, it really won't be much of a break because I have some major assignments lined up and due when I return to the daily grind.
Things I would like to accomplish over the break (non-school related):
1. Get my new *city* bike that Greg gave me repaired so I can use it around Brooklyn to make errands quicker and get some exercise.
2. Sell my Xbox360 on craigslist or ebay plus Guitar Hero 3 and Bioshock (any one interested let me know!) for some some well needed cash.
3. Relax for 3 days
4. Celebrate St. Patrick*s Day
5. Cook
Things to accomplish that are school related (BOOO!):
1. Start my Anti-Celebrity Worship campaign for class on Monday
2. Work on my next project for portfolio which is to illustrate Earth,Wind,Fire, and Water as seperate images. (so excited about this project!)
3. Get a Job? Or Jobs? HELP!

Anticipation....
I am so excited about everything I have recently ordered from dick blick and I hope it comes in the mail soon:
1. 3 wood panels (to start for a series of 10) in multiple sizes
2. lasceaux designer acrylics in many many beautiful shades of purples and crimsons
3. some mixing containers to keep my custom blends all organized
If you don't know about lasceaux paints....they have the most insane hues on earth and the colors are to die for.
This series is going to be about personal events going on in my life right now these past two months...not painted in a literal sense but represented in symbols and images and colors...I won't go deeply into what exact events these paintings will represent...I want to convey my hopes, my fears, memories, and predictions...I am just hoping that I will feel humbled by painting completely by emotion which is something I haven't tried to do with my work yet.

I Want to Paint....Again
After a whole entire year of staring at my small a** computer screen, I believe I am completely ready to paint again.
After class tomorrow I am going to Dick Blick and getting Lascaux pigments and some birchwood so I am inspired to paint. I am just going to crack out 10 paintings these next couple weeks of whatever strikes my fancy. After I am finished I am going to try and submit the series to Giant Robot or any other indie galleries around town and see what happens. It would be great to have a real gallery opening of only my stuff.
I am thinking vaudeville girls with tattoos from the twenties, random animals, taxidermy and other curiosities.
I also have my celebrity posters to work on which are only going to be 4 pantone colors each so they can be cheaper to reproduced than my 20 pantone color thesis ones.
I just want to completely dive into my own little world and forget about eveything else for a while and just ride out whats going on. I am hoping that this storm will come to an end with a lot of inspiration and success. I will absolutely have more time to myself to just completely be submerged into my art which I really believe is what I need right now in order to launch my career as an artist and illustrator.

OBEY the Purebreed!
So I came across something extremely amazing, it is a website devoted to canine propaganda. This is NOT Shepard Fairey's work. This a hilarious spoof on his horrible hypocritical and unimpressive graffiti art, and to be honest I kind of like this stuff better.
Since I have a Chihuahua here is some fun stuff they made to represent total Chihuahua domination! You can find your breed at www.obeythepurebreed.com
Awesome.

Sigg Water Bottle Design
This is my entry for the new Sigg water bottle design contest. These pups are made out of aluminum and are highly durable. If the design wins it gets reproduced and sold worldwide. This theme was *My American Style*. I wanted to represents the deep roots of America before the settlers arrived. Here it is:
