I have noticed lately that i’ve been falling into a really unhealthy pattern here; doing things that make me comfortable, not stretching myself in any way, wasting my time watching relationships and comedies of reality unfold in tv dramas rather than going out and making an effort to enact those…

I’m proud of myself from not too long ago. I have changed, I think, and for the better.

Young Love by Laura Pannack

“During a period of heightened emotional changes and the complications and new found territory of love and relationships brings into questions many issues that surround shaping who we grow up to become. . The often perceived naivety can be viewed as a brave invincibility and produce a bond of unsheltered shared emotions, truly revealing oneself to another individual.”

If you are an artist, listen the fuck up.

If you have ever held a paint brush and felt the possibility of creating a window to a world that only you have ever seen

If you have ever seen colours that haven’t been named yet

If you have ever had the privilege of exploring…

yes.

Hey guys!

If there’s anyone around who cares about this,

I’m going to be turning this page into my respected art page and creating a blog as well for all the inspiration art i’ve been posting so that this page can turn into more of the page I meant it to be and the awesome art i’ve reblogged still has somewhere to be to get mah creative juices flowin’. 

The new page is www.inspirama.tumblr.com

So if you’d like to just see what you’ve seen recently, follow it!

And if you’d like to see my art, then stick around. :) I’ll be uploading things throughout this coming week to get this all caught up, and I plan on uploading more of my sketches and things as well. 

Gettin’ outta this funky art rut~

My first sensual experience with the New Yorker

Victo Ngai


How often do one get to draw a full page sensual piece for the New Yorker magazine?I feel super luck-out being ask to illustrate this piece for the fiction “Sweet Dreams” by Peter Stamm. The story is about a young couple living together in Switzerland. This is the scene I was given to work on:

She went to the bathroom, filled the tub, and got undressed. The mirror misted over with condensation, and the smell of pine needles filled the air. She turned off the water, and the apartment suddenly seemed very quiet. Then she heard footsteps, and Simon’s voice through the half-open door. He said, I’ll just go downstairs for the bottle of wine. I thought you’d gone already, said Lara, and she poked her head through the crack, and he kissed her on the lips and tried to barge the door open, but she held it shut. They kissed again. See you soon, said Lara. It was odd, she still felt a little ashamed in front of him.

I had so much fun and I think this is one of my recent favorite works. Big big thanks to AD Jordan Awan and Chris Curry!!

i love how the color of the tiling changes in the mist

KYLE JAMES DUNN’S PATTERNED STEEL SCULPTURES

Kyle James Dunn’s intricate patterned sculptures are created using a plasma cutter and lots of patience. The imagery revolves around the American idea of vacation and the island get away.

This was taken in the Holland Tunnel driving back to Brooklyn from Hoboken tonight with my 16-35mm. My fiancee is a great designated driver and she wisely stopped me from sticking my arm out the window with my 5D in hand to try and take these shots. I was upset about the potential for glare but was able to keep my camera pretty steady [and safe] pressed between the dashboard and the windshield, so it definitely worked out for the best. Oh, and the beer garden in Hoboken is incredible. Goodnight.

I <3 NY tunnels.
