2011

 

This is just a quick quick update on the state of things.  2011 is shaping up to be a terrible year.  Already the worst on record.

My girlfriend of 6+ years broke up with me on New Years Eve, my co-worker tells me oddly enough that more breakups happen on that day than any other day of the year.  Valentines Day is apparently second.

We had been living together for 4+ years.  Our lease ended on the end of January.  She moved to a new place, and I crashed on my friends couch for the month of February.   It was really nice of them to help me out like that.  It was a really intense effort dividing the things during the month of January.  I now have the cat.

The cat, which tends to freak out has had a rough February and March as well.

The hard drive to my laptop died.  200 dollars later I have a new hard drive, but didn’t spend the money to take the data off.  Luckily I backed up things sometime early last year.

I just moved into a new place in Carroll Gardens with a childhood friend and his friend.  3 bedroom.  It’s a pretty great location.  I painted my room, and built some shelves, which I need to continue doing this weekend.  I am excited about this situation.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that the Sacramento Kings will be moving to Anaheim, which is terrible news if you’re a engaged Kings fan like myself.  Fucking Anaheim.

I quit facebook, don’t try to find me there.  If you thought I un-friended you, I did, but I also un-friended all of facebook so don’t take it personally.

In March I look forward to seeing Godspeed at that church in Manhattan.   Finishing up the apartment, and drawing some new comic for MoCCA, which is April 9th.  Girl Scout cookies will be available soon.  I need a haircut.  Bitch, bitch, bitch.  That’s all I seem to do these days.

Peace!

thanksgiving was great.  we (hannah and I) had friends (Gary, Doris, Laura, Jefferson, Nick, Justin, Vivian, Megan, Ikbal, Nathan, Nomes, and Ben) over.  There was a lot of food words do not do this justice, i posted some poor pictures which will maybe help.  it was a feast night like none other and it was glorious.  it basically made me thankful for everything.  above is an image of justin cutting some of the enormous turkey we had.  I will suggest to kieran hebdan that this should be the new image for whatever next four tet project he does, because look:

here’s his album Pause, it’s the same awesome thing!  i think the justin one is awesomer!

Sigh, more pictures after the cut… Details »

Surface Magazine

We (Justin, Jefferson, Laura, and I) are in this issue of Surface Magazine, which is currently the current one.  They profile the White House Redux winners on page 80 check it out!  Surface is this design magazine that is sort of the architectural record of design, it’s quite big, and we are all pleased to be included in it.  I think it’s issue #74 but I could be wrong because they do weird stuff to the graphics like cut half the number off).

Anyways I’ve included an image of our page after the cut…

Storefront for Art and Architecture – White House Redux

I always this may be old news, but Justin put up a great little visual summary of our White House competition entry plus a few shots of the storefront exhibition on his flickr if you’re all interested.  (Click the image above for the link)  Actually everyone should check it out cuz yeah I think we did alright.  There are plans to further archive it somewhere on the web but this is it so far.

Boilerhouse

To keep it short, the building we live in was sold and the new owner is removing the residential portion of the building, we therefore cannot renew the lease and will have to move out by next Sept.  There is a small amount of construction going on in the building currently, and Hannah and I recently explored the open first floor.  This used to be a factory where they make pillows.  Anyways our heating situation is pretty crappy right now so we found the boiler room.  I mean THE BOILERHOUSE… 

more after the cut… Details »

Wizard People, Dear Reader

Hannah and I have been Brad Neely fans for quite some time now, if you’re not familar with him he did that little washington video where washington is a total badass.  Well if you didn’t know he also has a huge collection of even better “brad neely comics” at superdeluxe.com, and they are well worth the look.  We quote the professor brothers and babycakes pretty often.

Now I learned yesterday that Brad Neely’s early work included a retelling of Harry Potter, called “wizard people, dear readers” which is played over a silent harry potter and the sorcerer’s stone.  We did this yesterday, and was by far 6 million points better than the original.  6 million points for harry potter!  griffindor wins!!!  It was envisioned as a audiobook of the first book that synced up with the movie.  I encourage everyone to watch the adventures of HP, Ronnie the Bear Weasel, Wretched Harmony, Dazzler, Haggar the Horrible, and Hardcastle McCormick.  Not to mention Mouthoil and Roast Beefy.  It’s quite amazing watching the spectacle to realize how much work was put into it, and the general amount of genius all round.  I read that he used to do this live, but got shut down by the man, too bad.

You can download the audio and read instructions here.

Hannah and I went to the village pet store over the weekend, and would strongly suggest you go if you haven’t already.  A few bad pictures after the cut.
