Trying my best to come off as sincere in my drawings & then I feel a little silly afterwards. Partly because I can’t really draw, mostly because it’s kitschy. I guess I’ll grow to like it since I don’t want to rip up my pages in the sketchbook. (Taken with instagram)
One of my favorites I’ve done so far. Based off of the Yoruba tribe proverb: if I am tall it is because I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors. Can’t wait to scan these and fully share all I’ve done with my sketchbook project. (Taken with instagram)

I would just like to follow this band. FOREVER. Ok, maybe not forever but I would like to go to New Orleans by the end of this month. No vacation time yet, I haven’t been at my job that long. So I may not get that lucky. Last night was fantastic though!

EDIT: Well, geez, iPhone won’t let me put up caption or tags. So here’s the story: 21 July, there was a Rally for Justice on behalf of Hyatt workers across America. I think several cities held their own rallies. Here in San Antonio we gathered at the Grand Hyatt on Market Street to protest the abuse and exploitation of our housekeepers. There was a great turnout and, huge surprise, they took it to the next level by blocking off traffic on Market Street (rush hour, mind you). They held hands and sat right in the street for a good 10 minutes before being arrested. Two of my buddies were sitting there and I couldn’t be more proud of the stand they took. Hopefully, this will bring awareness to the plight that many hotel workers, especially housekeepers, are in. Did I mention it was a good 100 degrees? That asphalt was hot!

Can’t decide if I like hipstamatic or instagram better. Either way it’s fun taking quality pics with a phone. Just gotta keep making prints for my collection!

Going to some outdoor screenings the San Antonio Film Fest is putting out but before I go, I wanted to show off my gorgeous Hipstaprints. I’m pretty much addicted to iPhone’s Hipstamatic when I’m out riding my bike. So much lighter than either my Nikon D40 or my Mamiya. I think I’ve captured some pretty awesome things on my adventures so I’m happy to actually have prints of them.
I think this new year’s resolution of putting out more photobooks or making prints is going really well. I’m happy to truly own my photographs!
