A couple of months ago, I learned about foiling and how to incorporate it into some of my print designs. I watched tutorials, bought all the stuff, and did some trial and error runs. It was quite the learning process. Once I figured it out, I decided to make bookmarks for my coworkers. I made... Continue Reading →
Hold My Beer
There’s days when I don’t know why I bother with the things I do. It gets lonely because no one around me has been there. But then I think about all the people that came before me, and how their lives were decided for them. I have the luxury of doing whatever the f*** I... Continue Reading →
Summer Bummer
The summer just started and I don't have much to look forward to. This year we're not taking an awesome big vacation like we have the past two years. I'm really sad about it. Vince and Aria are in New Jersey as we speak. I considered hopping on a plane and just going with them,... Continue Reading →
1 Down, 9 To Go
I’m done! My first grad school class is officially dunzo! A puros madrazos, but I got through it! I know grad school is all I've spoken about lately, but that's all that's taken over my life this year. Was it hard? Hell yes! Do I regret doing it? Not even a little bit! I was... Continue Reading →
Jobs Are Like Boys
For years I've been saying, "Jobs are like boyfriends" - If you're not happy with the one you've got, dump his ass. Hence, why I've never stayed at a job more than 5 years. Anyways, I'm not sure exactly what's going on, but the past few months I've been getting all sorts of people asking... Continue Reading →
God Is A Designer
If God gave someone the brain to create this awesomeness, why can't I unblock my brain too? Much like every creative to ever exist, I'm suffering from a mad brain block. I'll start a project, get stuck, and just leave it. I leave the project where I can come across it every day to remind... Continue Reading →
No Me Rajo, Chingao!
Just a quick blog post. I’m exhausted, y’all. It’s been crazy busy around here. Between life, business travel, work, and grad school, I’ve had no chill. And I’m fighting off a weird cold that’s messing with my brain and I don't feel good. But I’m not letting the bad win me over. I’m going out... Continue Reading →
Broken Brain
You ever go through periods where you know what you should be doing, but you still find yourself super lost? Totally me lately. Most days I didn't know my left from right as it was. Now I spend my days trying to get the gears in my brain to just move. It seems the smallest... Continue Reading →
First Day of Scary
Yesterday was my first day of grad school. Okay, so I’m only taking one class, but still it’s a big deal for me. Just one class of anything takes a lot! Let alone grad school. You’re becoming a master in something. Besides, working full-time and having a family is already a full schedule. And lately,... Continue Reading →
Designer Needs Friends
Artists are a special breed of humans. Back when I started my journey to become a photographer, it was a little lonely. I'd meet seasoned photographers, but they had no interest in taking a total newbie like me under their wing. They were only friends with other highly successful photographers. It was sad for me....
