I didn’t cry today and I was tested 100x. I now fly away on a solo trip to a surreal Costa Rica. Much deserved and needed.


It is 12:30am and I am leaving for Costa Rica in 3 hours and 45 minutes. Such crazy stress just trying to get ready for this trip. Non- stop printing . I have packed 7 books, my ipod, a gameboy and 2 cameras for 9 days.  I am planning on going from today until next Friday, though may need a few more days. The last few months have been intense. Need the ocean and sunlight.

My highs come with lows.

I need to walk around with new eyes and remember that I am an artist. Need to be thankful. Need to stay in the moment. Need to redefine my definition of success.

I plan on starting a “secret” new series of images while there. I’m sure I will take a lot of Polaroids of surfing, though I am ready to make new art.

The Go! Team- Ms Pac-Man Video

This video just found it’s way back into my life. It makes me so happy, as I am obsessed with ms pac-man and dig the song.  It’s hard to be sad watching ms-pac man and the evil ghost monsers running around

 


El Guincho-bombay

This video is really amazing. I watched it yesterday before a shoot and was inspired to take my work to the next level or maybe sideways. Makes me really happy. I don’t care what they are saying.

 


One of my favorite bands. Every song is gorgeous on every album.
I sometimes play one album  on repeat and later realize I only listened to that one album all day. I just said the word  album 3x


here’s to elliott smith on this monday in january. brooklyn misses you. it’s fucking crazy how beautiful his music is.

 

 


A nice chill/upbeat song sent to me by a friend on this cold day.
