more kicks! whaaat

painted the background, nothing exciting. i drew the details of the shoe with pencil, a little more exciting.

fall day

don't remember the last time i drew with charcoal. i didn't like the one i was using very much. kinda soft and wasn't as black as would have liked. i'm happy how it came out though.

summer of black and white

black and white. it's something that's been part of me for a long time now. i can remember in middle school through most of high school...i gravitated heavily to black clothing. basketball player with the all black shoes, mid-socks...black, shorts...black. my now wardrobe still has it's chunk of darkness but with age and growth...some colors have been introduced.

i always preferred pencil or pen for drawing...for the most part that's black on white paper. anyway just giving a short back story. well it's mostly an observation but i found myself exploring bw pictures this summer. nothing serious just taking more pictures than i have in the past. so here's some of my favorites that i've taken in my trips.

snake mountain

up the path i go
through the white pillars of birch
holding up the sky




breathtaking the sight
you might say, tough is the hike
as i gasp for air

hkw microhouse

your's truly. by that i mean one of my boss' concept/art/projects. part of the 'human=landscape' exhibition. 10x10 unit. cheap, efficient, and can we say 'green'.

i love chuck's

simple but offers almost limitless variety.


they age well.




classic.

the highline

the visit to the highline in NYC was cool and some parts of it a little crazy. headed down from burlington on friday and met with timmy in MA. we went to dan's house in NJ.
anyway the highline was very impressive. it was details galore. i paid a little more attention on the paving, the sweet benches, and railings. the planting was so-so. i'm a big fan of the grass/meadow but as a whole it could be better in my opinion.
there were a lot of people. too much for me to enjoy the place. it's good though, seeing all this interest and use. i'd like to check it out sometime and hopefully there's less traffic. speaking of traffic, the tragic plane/helicopter accident occurred when we were at the highline. we could see the accident site from our location.
anyway it was great. i'm sure i'll be adding to this down the road when i get to explore it more thoroughly. also it is only 1/3 of the way done.
oh can't forget to mention about the free sex shows happening from the hotel...can't remember the name right now. haha. people.
