Discovery on repeat

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

Can’t get enough of Discovery.  I’ve had it on repeat all day.

Recently got a package from SF writer and designer, Nate One. Back in the early 90′s I photographed one of his pieces at Psycho City and recently sent it to him. He hooked me up with some dope t-shirts, promotional postcards and a hand written letter on his very own letterhead. To show my appreciation I have selected a stack of old school graffiti flicks taken in SF during the same time, to send him.

hookedup!

Here is the link to his shop where you can get some cool hip hop gear. Check it out! there is something there for everyone, even the kiddies.

I have been designing  a few things lately. Here are some logos I recently finished and a save the date.

kicking myself

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

i just reformatted my computer and forgot to save my bookmarks for firefox. some how i though they were saved on d: drive. sigh. i know i tend to horde all types of bookmarks; some i never even revisit. However, now i feel like i need them to feel complete. this is gonna take a while to get over. it silly actually. i know by heart all the important urls i need and frequently visit yet i am heartbroken by my act of carelessness. maybe its a sign to move away from the computer and and to not be so dependent. honestly i cant think of a single url that I really need that i cant rememeber

I had quite a collection of bookmarks though. so many design sights for references. tons of tutorials, blogs, and sites for downloading textures, patterns and images.

i guess ill have to start rebuilding my bookmarks again. when did i get so dependent on my computer?
