“TURN IT OFF”
3/3 of my conservation posters for Sustainable Kingston.
The concept behind this is the subliminal messaging of having the lightswitch turned off in the image and in the borders really engraining that message to the audience.

“THERE IS NO ENDLESS SUPPLY”
2/3 of my conservation posters for Sustainable Kingston.
The concept behind this is really the dripping faucet - not enough people realize how much water we waste each day, and the colours really bring that WWII propoganda style back to life.

“A BRIGHT IDEA”
1/3 of my conservation posters for Sustainable Kingston.
The concept behind this is the play on words with the brightness of lightbulbs,
and how we can conserve energy by changing our lightbulbs to more energy efficient ones.

Continuation

Sat, 21 May 2011 07:10:59 -0400

A lot of plans have gone up and down within the last few weeks including workshops, work, hangouts, and art/media projects.

Art show poster (which ill add a picture of in another post) - didn’t win this time around.

Conservation posters in a war time style for Sustainable Kingston.
They’re going to be up all around town.

Was supposed to see Bridesmaid, the movie, the other day, but it was completely packed and still outdoors waiting for tickets by the time the movie started.
Attempting next week.
Apparently it’s one of the hit comedies of the year!

Also had the opportunity to do a media event where we would work with Sustainable Kingston to chalk out their logo along with other various representations of sustainability in Kingston’s market square. Unfortunately, they decided to rescheduel due to unpredictable weather.

Got to meet a wonderful wowan by the name of Mary-Anne yesterday for a tye dye workshop. Great lady! Met Steven Spielberg. And made wonderful connections and got great advice with her as to how to go about potentially doing silkscreening as a business as she works as an entrepeneur making tye dye for a living, and doing very well at that.

A new way of thinking…

Crazy creative fun has to occur when your original plan has busted,

Luckily for jordan, sarah, cynthia, ashlie and I, it’s fun no matter what we do.

This time - fin blade surfing!

What have i been up to for a month or so?
Lots you could say,
Here the story begins…

A new adventure to “the marble slab”
fresh icecream, mixed in with pre much whatever your heart desires.
Delicious! but super long line. Worth the wait. Recommended.

The fair!
Only comes once in a while, so it was something nice and different to do with my girls.
They had a rock climbing wall where you could win a potential $100 too!
In the end, we decided just to go on the Twirl a Whirl,
just like old childhood times.

““All people dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their mind, wake in the morning to find that it was vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous people, For they dream their dreams with open eyes, And make them come true.””

- D.H. Lawrence (via oradianto)

If a tree falls in the woods and there's no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Sun, 15 May 2011 07:43:00 -0400

Does anyone truly care what other bloggers post about their every day lives?

It’s hard to say.

It could pose as an escape from reality, a different perspective, or even just an update on a fellow’s life journey.

recently got into a feud that i’m not particular proud of.

pointless argument.

to this point, not sure where it’s necessary going.

but what i do know is that it’s going in circles.

A crossover

Thu, 28 Apr 2011 21:53:29 -0400

A glass a day is suppose to lower …cholestrol?

A glass of RED wine.

A day at home.

Sleeping in, art, more art, did i mention art?

And then came lunch.

Mac and cheese with red wine mixed with pomegranete juice.

Just like how Catherine Middleton and Prince William are going to wed tomorrow morning at 3am, it shows the cross over between the common with the high class.

I’m sure their wedding is going to be a sight to see, and I definitely plan on watching it some time.

Apparently their flower arrangements alone cost $800 000…

that is definitely going to be less than even my whole wedding combined.

I’m sure of it.

The places I love to hate

Wed, 13 Apr 2011 06:36:15 -0400

It’s a bittersweet world at times.

Allan Graphics.

Home.

AG - a place to learn, a place of process, and great staff.

A place of heavy ink fumes that make your nauseous, a place where I sit in the corner for 6 hours a day, It’s sad to say that my time with them has ended.

Ciao for now!

Whereas home is wherever your heart is, right?

NO.

As long as you live under the same roof as your parents,

it’ seems that “what I say goes” still applies.

Yet it’s far better than most places, so who am I to complain.

(*Picture - from Weheartit.com)

I wish I could have this shirt, then potentially just fly away for quite awhile.

Some people are driving me insaaaaane!

Just when you think you’re doing alright - the world has a whole different path for you.

The nasty world can be a bitch at times.

Get your bandaids ready.

A card I made for my grandpa the second time he went into the hospital.

Fortunately, fingers crossed, he stays healthy and well.

He’s doing better it seems.

For how long - I don’t know.

I wish him the best always, love you Grandpa! <3

Where oh where...

Wed, 06 Apr 2011 16:26:25 -0400

One day you think you’ll see someone.

The next day - you just don’t.

Take my managers at one of my jobs for example.

It’s happened far too many times, I’ve decided to stop counting.

It’s taught me to really cherish each day

and to fully love what you enjoy to do out of life.

beause you really don’t know.

WHERE OH WHERE..

do I want to end up next year?

school. education. life.

toronto? los angeles?

every time i think i’ve made up my decision of what should be “right”…

and I talk or see what I could potentially be doing in LA despite the complications makes my heart beat that much faster and much more lively.

I know what I want.

But is it right?

Is it feasible whatsoever?

…if only I won the lottery.

RECAP

Fri, 01 Apr 2011 20:38:00 -0400

Over the past while, I’ve been contemplating shows to go to, attended my friend Bekki’s 19th birthday where we went to the mansion for supper (highly recommend their Aztec mac&cheese…yum!), debated which school to attend in the fall, contemplated starting my own summer company, quitting a job, getting a couple new ones, and been worrying day and night about my grandpa.

I’ve learned from my grandpa that you need to take one day at a time.

you dont know what tomorrow will bring you.

you need to take advantage of every opportunity available

and to cherish what you have right infront of you because you never know when it’ll be taken easily right away from you the next.

NULLUM DESIDERIUM - my tattoo phrase, my mantra for life, translation - “no regrets”
