Style & Beauty

"Style is a voice, not a prop or an action. If you can buy it, borrow it, download it, or steal it, it is not a style. Don’t look outward for your style; look inward." Nicolai

"Never apologize for your own sense of beauty. Nobody can tell you what you should love. Do what you do brazenly and unapologetically. You cannot build your sense of aesthetics on a consensus." Nicolai

Asians.. They think of everything!

HUMAN LCD

Its Sunday June 19, Hungover from last night- not in the mood to do anything but to relax and read. However I do have a restaurant grand opening to attend to soon, the same restaurant i had/have to design the menu for. Still not finished- very close to done. I'm waiting on a couple things such as retakes need to be taken, adding the accents, numbering and that's pretty much it. I haven't been able to work on it though.. The very person who wants this menu done has actually been taking up most of my time- thats time not towards this menu but towards her hair.

Calendar? Not so much

I've been working on a Calendar piece. I was actually pretty excited, "I get to design my own calendar for a real estate agent!" Turns out he already had the design, my job is to organize his information with his daughter's at the bottom of the calendar. Which is challenging actually, since he gave me such bulky, random blocks of info to add there. I have to find a way for everything to blend and flow- To make the whole calendar look like one ... Too bad my client didnt give me a sample of the calendar, when i asked all he said was, "uhh yea i have one at home, ill give it to you soon."


Well, while I was looking for inspiration i came across these..

Loo's Tattoo

So im sitting here, skyping w/ gyu, working on Loo's Tattoo & I get a message saying "hey smoke break, we're on our way. I get up off my comfy chair and grab a sweater, put on some socks, grab a jacket (it was pretty chilly last time i was outside), walk back up the stairs and sit my ass down again on the chair thinking they'll be here in 5 minutes or so. 1:00 i got the msg, It's currently 1:43... I hate when they do this.. I'm at home, I'm not leaving my house, dont schwindle me into getting ready earlier than I have to.. its quite irritating.

But on the other hand, listen to these!





I've actually opened up old music saved in my external hard drive and found treasures of songs i used to love, most of them depressing but im still in love w/ them!


Here's part of Loo's tat so far. She originally sketched out a Paisley flower inspired piece with audrey's name written on top of one of the petals. She asked to see what I can do with it, and she seems to like it so far.

Alright well, apparently they're here.. an hour later .. ugh

Tribes!?!

It's astonishing to me how life like this still exists. In fact, apparently over 100 tribes in the world still exist today.
MIND BOGGLING! Goes to show how little I know about the world & how it is still possible to live bare minimum in what seems like a world of overbearing technology..
