Same guy, new suit.  This new suit is instilling an insane amount of confidence in that same guy though.  kinda like a Black pair of cadmium suede loafers.  So this same guy isn't the same guy, he's got the swag of a guy with cadmium feet.  THIS SHIT IS HEAVY BRO

I like the resolution on scanned images better than internet-- PLAIN AND SIMPLE
I'll be bringing more content soon.

get up on your BOOGIE

after looking at Alejandra Chavarria's Sinister Kid I was reminded of another photographer. What a juxtaposition-- one version BK all day, another Little Miss Sunshine. Both OG! Credit these next photos to Boogie from Belgrade!

BOOGIE'S
IT'S ALL GOOD.
Because, well, it's all good


GUY ON LEFT/ happy to be rolling with heat

SAME GUY FROM PREVIOUS LEFT/ happier to be rolling with hotter heat dolo


you already know.

...

STOP SNITCHIN'!


I'm more touched than anything else for this. According to Boogie's blurb this is a G with his little sister-- wrap yourself around that


all the other guys have guns, but for a lot of reasons I'm way more afraid of him

Boogie!

Ale Chavarria/OADED #4

Went to coffee today with a friend-- Alejandra Chavarria
She was kind enough to let me draw and talk and be distracted and eat before she even got there (classy, I know!), thus the inspiration for the always spectacular DUAL ENTRY


you would give anything in this world, Michael Jackson leather and
a glove, but didn't give me no curl


personally have never seen one, but I'd put my money on saying that's a 'wrap it up' face

Sabine Strikes Back

Now that all these photos are out of the way, I feel like the next couple of sketches are like the 10 minutes on the bike you ride after the workout, you know, the one you most likely are going to skip next time you go to the gym.

A friend of mine Janelle Proulx had a show with Janie Stamm at DeSoto Row Gallery before school ended (Forest of Friends & Thin Walls) which was very good. While the show is no longer up, their work is still online!

I HOWL, TOO>> I AM A MAN

Poetry entry #2 of the day!

For the Beat reading class that I so eloquently blogged about earlier (go and check a few days back, actually-- second, better thought++ go back and check out all the posts. Become a fan! Be a supporter! Tweet about a Peach/Apple Medley! Donate Money! Name your first-born after this stellar body of unimportance/time-wasting machine!), we had an assignment to appropriate some Beat writing. I regurgitated Howl by Allen Ginsberg, and just talked about the lovely Savannah College of Art and Design and its inhabitants/constituents. It's actually inspired me to do more writing, as well as maybe start my own appropriation art project series. Say, take a piece I enjoy/recreate it through my own critical lens once a week?

SIDENOTE
I think I'm definitely the guy at the buffet getting the chicken fingers, drumsticks, lemon chicken, sweet & sour chicken, General Tso's chicken, and grilled chicken, fruit and jello before I sit down. That leads to me taking a look at my plate to find that I only got chicken, so I have to
get up for some other kinds of meat and rice and pasta and mystery sauce.

thrilla in manila(s)

Manila Envelopes are the best because they make things so goddamn organized and official.

I've heard that awesome people have colored auras. After I achieve superstardom, climb Mt. Everest, become a superhero/retire from being a superhero/unretire from being a superhero/retire again from being a superhero to pass the torch along to an unsuspecting candidate that fills all unknowing potential criteria, kill a man, catch a beat down from Charlie Murphy, finish a burger that weighs a few pounds and costs $25 in under an hour so I can have it for free, win a few awards, donate mad mooga, kill a woman, cover-up the fact that I've killed a couple of people or escape to a beautiful isolated country (ehh,
and escape. definitely and), fly into space, marry a few times, and re-invent the wheel, I hope to have a manila colored aura.


Try and ignore me. Just do it. YOU CANT I'M TOO OFFICIAL
