Last year on a whim, my friend Stephen and I started drawing in a moleskine daily calendar. We decided to use a different color for each month and alternate drawing in it . Based on the premise the world was going to end, we decided to record each day with an illustration. I love this sketchbook.

Some random graffiti shots taken around San Diego and LA. I Love the nod to Suess on a trailer.

A quick reflection of the past year, shot with film and cell phone cameras.

I found out about this new site called 8tracks.com, it lets you share your Itunes playlist and embed them. Very cool. Here is my first mixtape, Oh Dear April 2011

San Diego weather was so weird this morning. The OB pier looked amazing with fog shrouding both ends. Felt like I was walking into the twilight zone!

I had the opportunity to check out a property of a recently deceased letterpress enthusiast from Vista. He was the printer of a small north county newspaper, and had an amazing hand built property overlooking the Vista country side. The new owner was kind enough to let me check out the press and a ton of old books and magazines. I ended up lucking out with some vintage picture books, magazines circa 1905-1963,and a nice selection of newspapers from the last 30 years.Craziness

Last night I did some lino block prints.I loved how they turned out on the craft paper. Im definitely hooked on this method.

On Sunday afternoon, I had a little fun with my friend Becka's plain white bookshelf. Boring no more.

A collection of photos taken with my Hipstamatic iphone app. In and around San Diego and Orange County.

I am testing out a lomography diana mini. Here are some shot from Unique OC show and the OC fair.

Some shots with a great cheap photo app for my iphone.

On Mothers Day I took a drive along route 74 To Anza California. Ever since getting my Holga camera I have been wanting to experiment with double exposing the film. I juxtaposed the road with the beautiful scenery to get a double dose of my trip.

For my birthday I received a sweet white and black plastic 35 mm Holga camera. It takes really distorted pictures and leaks a lot of light. Makes for some interesting experiments

Last night Subtext Studio hosted Yeller Studio's -Paper Cuts Zine Swap. About 80 zines where on display in the Subtext courtyard. At the end of the night I ended up going home with about 30 zines. They rock.
I displayed my zine " Something in Common"

A raccoon thief that I've had sitting in my sketchbook for a while.

A freind of mine started a mini contest, with a facebook status post.
"Find/draw/create the best zombie or monster and post it on my page. I have a prize for the winner : ) You have till Monday...."
Old movie montsters are a favorite of mine so I was down for the challenge. After a quick brainstorm I decided to sketch out a whimisical swamp thing monster. Pink sharpie and 88mm stabilo black felt tip pen.

Thursday night, House Industries opened the Eames Gallery in Santa Monica. House Industries aesthetic is a personal favorite of mine and was worth seeing up and close, despite having to drive two and a half hours to get there. Fresh Press was onsite, screen printing bags and posters. I am now the proud owner of a 13x19 Eames Century Modern red number 3, printed on a ivory paper. Last thing, An Eames Chair is the most comfortable chair I have ever sat in.

Last year around this time I visited Washington DC and explored the underground metro. This shot was taken in the last minutes of my visit. Sans tripod, I craftily balanced my camera on a ledge overlooking an incoming train. I did not realize what an interesting shot this was until I had returned home.
