La Domenica del Corriere
La Domenica del Corriere (”Sunday Courier”) was Sunday insert for Corriere della Sera, an Italian newspaper that ran for 90 years, from 1899 to 1989. For most of that time the section featured a full-page illustration on its cover each week.
These were often dramatic gouache or watercolor illustrations, almost in a pulp-illustration vein, but they presumably illustrated actual news stories (think...

Monday - Pizza & Gas Works Park
After breakfast, snacks and all that these boys do in the a.m. I wanted to get them out of the house with it being such a nice day as well. So, despite it being cold I took the boys up to the top of the hill at Gas Works Park and shot these photos. Justin shot some of his own on my older digital Canon Rebel XT, and Brandon video taped our entire time there. Here’s some highlights of the...

Photography 101
Today is looking pretty nice out here in Seattle, but that can all change at any minute. No matter what happens though, my nephews are here and they are geeking out on video games and just all being together.
I’ve taught my nephew Justin (17) some photo basics before, but I found out Brandon (16) aka Skip :D is pretty much like I was growing up being inspired by his dad Ainzley (which I was...

Today was a good day.
I got to spend some time with my brother Tyson (Othello) and his son Asa, and then in the late afternoon hooked up with my close friend Jay Taylor that I’ve known for a couple years now, and worked with at Adidas in Portland, OR. He has a great children’s T-shirt company coming up you should check out called Pre-Fresh!
We spoke of some awesome collaborative efforts over coffee at this...

…and to all a good night!
I made it to Portland safe thankfully, and I’m chillin’ with some friends, playing records, eating snacks, and catching up about life at the Someday Lounge!
Hope your day was blessed.

Xmas Day!
So, It’s Christmas time again, text messages have been on blast to my phone before even waking up from my east coast friends, and will continue into the night! I’ve gotta make calls to my uncle and aunt I haven’t spoke with in a while and then talk to my parents, been a minute since I spoke with them too. I think my dad went to Jamaica though. I did get a call from my 17 year old...

For now...
… this is enough. I’m gonna make some music, eat some food, keep checking the weather, do some recording for my buddy Kingmost and Kero one, and finish working on this mix I’m trying to get done before new years for my friends and fam… which I will later officially sell. I have done so many mixes, yet never sold any officially yet! Things are about to change…

Are shots earlier this December in Seattle before the snow storm arrived. Above you’ll see more snow shots from around my way. Gotta’ love the shifts of nature, but all good depsite being snowed in all week… I’ve been pretty productive though musically, and graphic design/photo-wise. So it’s been good.
Peace!!!
Yeah...
So, the quotes below all hold some weight to them. These are from some verses I read yesterday and this morning… these are the one’s that stuck out, and are good for challenging character. This is a great book of wisdom and real talk!

Northwest Snow Storm
It snowed like mad here in Seattle, and Portland got it worse, but the storm has passed over… so it seems. I hope everything clears up by the weekend for my nephews to make it into town and hang with their big Unc! I’m all for them, and looking forward to spending a week with these 3 kids which 2 of them are my height at 16 & 17 years old… crazy!
Well, more design...
