Monthly Review. Late December-January

Work & School:

• Part-time internship at Red Table Studio in LA as a designer for my old teacher.
• Design pitch for House Of Blues in Anaheim, minimal direction, 5 designs total for their store. Awaiting revisions.
• 3 Designs for AFI.

• 3 Designs for Green Day.

• Speaking of Green Day, they have used a design I did for them to represent their online identity. It is currently on their MySpace, and their official website. I remember thinking of the idea of birds into planes a long time ago, when looking for something I can stencil that was 1 color. I have mixed feelings about what they did to the original graphic, and it’s general use.
• Featured on Karmaloop, check it out! (On Sale):

• First quarter back grades: A, A, A, A, B+

Personal:

• The quest for good cuisine, international and all, begins. Talks of a Food Blog, Flog, ensue. So far this month and a little last: Ethiopian in Little Ethiopia, Versailles (Cuban), Pupusa Cafe (El Salvadorian), A lot of Indian, Sanamluang Thai, I’ve recently eaten duck fetus and cow tongue.
• Been seeing some good movies: Slumdog, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, and a lot of Stella.

Goals:

• Plan my free trip to the East Coast before March 13th, when it expires.
• Get in shape, I can always start running for a few weeks, but always stop, I need to find a way to stay committed.
• Get a fresh sense of where I want my life to go in the next two years.
• Stay practical, and stay sharp.
• Move, but only when the time is right and smart.
