San Diego Magazine Interview: ...Interesting...

 I am very grateful that someone would be interested in writing about my brother and I, but I can't help but laugh a little...  I do not think I have ever once in my life mentioned that I wanted to be an astronaut. I wish I was that ambitious! I recall wanting to be a doctor, or work in medicine, but I guess people can get confused between those professions. That actually makes the article so much better!

Good Things Come to Those Who PLAY! Enter to WIN! from emota on Vimeo.


Major lack of posts recently. Between traveling, moving, and computer malfunctions, it has been been a bit of a challenge to get my act together. BUT, alas here is something I worked on last week.

My friend Annie who works for the film company Emota.Brand.Film. asked me about doing some artwork for their new campaign. They are doing a collaboration with Rusty and Sector 9 to celebrate local San Diego brands that have gone international. A Rusty surfboard and Sector 9 skateboard were donated for the campaign.

I used Posca Pens and an acrylic matte finish on the board. It definitely took a turn to the psychedelic route... I will upload more photos of the board when I find my camera chord in all the moving chaos.

Take a trip and check out the amazing video short they made! Thanks Annie!

Miscellaneous

Well, I am not ambidextrous, so clearly I did not do this to myself... I got this traditional Indian Henna art done on my last trip to Fiji. 

I really admire the artists ability to do those tight, detailed designs, freehand without any planning. She did both of my hands and forearms in about an hour. The ink stain will stay on about a week or so. 

Some people are a bit freaked out by it but I love it. They look at my hands and think I have a strange rashes or *gasp* real tattoos!

Words of wisdom

Here is my 9 0 single fin I shaped a few months back. I thought I would add a few words to entertain the sea while it entertains me.

Nervous System

It has been a while since I have posted anything. I was traveling for a little, spending some time in Mexico and Fiji. I have been working on some other projects that I will soon post, but for now here is a little something I made for my brother and his girlfriend. It is wood, with a wine stain. The scroll on the left is a song from an old piano machine I got at an estate sale. I used a cutout from my old Grey's Anatomy book from the nervous system.

Ice plant in Seal Beach. This silver shade 600 film is fun to work with but can be fickle, varying greatly with light exposure. You never know what you are going to get which makes it more fun! X
