infrequent.

so i realize that i've been slacking a lot with posts on here. i apologize to the people that check this regularly. i've just had so much on my plate and so much going on in the social life that i've been really strapped for time. dating back to june, i've been bogged down with a lot of design projects. here's a few of the things i've worked on:

green room / max jerome flyer:


last minute birthday flyer:


sweet nelly's bbq sauce label:


dingbatz unplugged flyer:


abacinate / fit for an autopsy tour poster:


dingo's den bikini bike wash flyer:



dingbatz dio tribute / cancer benefit flyer:



joehate's birthday bash flyer:


still in the works.. album artwork for my man sebzero.. website layout artwork and a sticker design for the upcoming feelin' friendly website.

not to mention, i'm still in the process of putting together a handful of my own shirt designs that i want to release independently. unfortunately, those currently have to take a back seat to jobs that are paying me so that i can actually put the cash together to get them printed.

and i'm also slowly but surely collecting material for my upcoming project.. STREET CELEBRITY. i have a list of people that i want to eventually contact about doing interviews, but if you are interested in setting something up, please let me know.

**************************************

besides my full-time job, my freelance and my own personal projects, i've also managed to see a shitload of shows over the last few months. since may i've managed to see all of the following bands live:

troublemaker
black kites
fleshtemple
suburban scum
wisdom in chains
trapped under ice
skarhead
madball
H2O
cro mags
ill bill
cage
nassau chainsaw
sebzero
waking the cadaver
totimoshi
melvins
isis
faith no more
gravehill
cardiac arrest
infernal revulsion
unearthly trance

(and those are just the ones i can think of off the top of my head. there are definitely a bunch more. plus next week i'm going to see slayer, megadeth and testament as well.)

neglect.

i've totally been neglecting my blog, and i feel like i need to keep it fed like a chia pet or sea monkeys. anyway, i've been just concentrating on handling my business lately. really grinding like for real and trying to pick up extra freelance work to pay for my lawyer, legal fees, fines and the like.

grinding status:

freelance projects on the horizon.. two websites, a corporate logo for a commercial painting company and a shitload of flyers that i'm working on.

i also have a few projects for division east coming up.. a few t-shirts in the works, a deck (which might be packaged with a matching shirt), a dvd layout for the upcoming DE video (due out this spring), graphics for the re-vamped website/online store/blog, and a booklet layout for GDPs new record.

yeah so i guess that whole silver lining phrase that people always say can sometimes be true. i'm in some shit right now, some total bullshit i might add, but shit nonetheless. but, i have a good lawyer and things will work out in the end as far as the legal aspect. financially, it's gonna be tough for a few months, but i'll be all good hopefully by summertime.

thanks to all this, i got a different perspective on friends and loyalty with all the people who have reached out during this. its a time i'm not gonna forget. i mean when i go out now, i'm barely spending anything at the bar. people are buying me drinks and shit. i'm usually the person buying everyone drinks, and i feel weird when people buy me drinks, but its really cool and very appreciated. now i know how chicks feel. it kinda rules. i mean one of my boys even hit me up and said he wanted to throw a benefit show to help me with my legal expenses. although greatly appreciated, i had to decline. i got myself into my own shit and i'll get myself out.

i also just really got on my grind to make extra loot and now i have almost more shit than i can handle. people are hitting me up for design work from out of the woodwork because i have a big mouth, but i'm not gonna complain. i wasn't trying to beg anyone for money, but i will definitely work for it. that just sits a lot better in my soul.

anyway, so yeah that's whats been going on. thanks again to everyone that helped me out through this and to everyone who's bought be shots, beers and anything else. i will pay you back tenfold when my shit is back on track.

peace, love and all that good shit.
