Brahms "A Full Embrace"

Insomniac visual artist and scum zine extraordinaire Jovan Moran bathes somber piano melodies in a rare shower of Southern California rain. A jumble of worn out tape in a waterlogged desktop cassette recorder reveal an innocent purity of post-adolescent negativity. Moran's first and possibly last publicly released recording documents the treasuring of fleeting moments of comfort that become rarer and make less sense with each passing day. Songs for reflection on the moment you realize that everything has become worse than when you first left it.

Had another little adventure last week headed up to San Francisco again this time with my friends Steven (POC) and Steph from Ventura. Cowboy Babies picked me and Steven up and we headed to Steph's house to party one day before leaving to S.F. I didn't get any pictures of us three partying that night i was to wasted but it was fun so these pictures actually start the next day in the morning when Cowboy Babies had already left back home and we were waiting for Steph to get off of work. This is Maximum Force

Steven and I watched Rushmore to pass the time

and drank organic cider and Mexican beer with lemon and salt

I also bought a tin of anchovies in olive oil

I had all my zines that I have been working on for years now

Lil Stevie and Max fry face

so Steven and i went out to eat on main street and visited Steph at work we watched cash cab and i won five dollars then it was off to San Francisco. This is at John Walsh's place where we were crashing.

were fucking tourist so we headed down to China town.

seedy

then we headed over to City Lights

Beat heaven

after that we headed over to the bridge and ran into an action for Invisible Children

precious

walking to the bridge

after that we headed over to the pier to eat some clam chowder and watch Steven XbreakXvedgeX we first were going to eat at some fancy expensive restaurant upstairs so Steven and I ordered some Anchor Steams and decided that it would be better and cheaper to eat down stairs plus its the same fucking food.

downstairs with our clam chowder in bread bowls and more Anchor steam the Porter is definitely the way to go with Anchor Steam.

XbreakingXvedgeX

A lot of other things happened after that we drank a ton of beer, a leather jacket was given to me, I got an awesome head wound which i was bleeding out of all night and some other things which i really don't remember. We ended up back in Ventura at Steph's house but Steven had to leave at 6 in the morning so i got some sleep Steph went to work and when she came back we meet up with Jon and Chris on there tour and Conor, Bob and Drea even drove up.

end game with a huge hangover and a leather.

2009-04-18T23:46:00.000-07:00

Woke up with Conor and Jon, Dead Ape was gone so we Got a big Bag of lemons out of Conor's car and made some fresh lemon aid.

we hung out all day at the Bedroom went to Kinko's (which is now called FedEx Office) printed up some zines, Keven met us there and then we all headed down to the Echo Curio for Stevens Mini Film Fest. It was pretty fun hung out talked to some people and relaxed after that Jon, Conor and I came back to the Bedroom around 2 or 3 in the morning got some food, talked and read zines all night until about 11 in the morning. At that point everyone was pretty tired,hot and delirious so Conor took me home and headed of to work.

Dystopian Wasteland

2009-04-18T22:48:00.000-07:00

Went to hang out with Dead Ape recently hung out in his garage with Baby Conor and Jon we drank wine, Guinness and Pabst and needles to say got trashed and made lots of noise.

Ghetto blaster

drone

power violence break

Dead ape audio manipulation set

then somehow after getting kicked out of Dead Apes house we made the transition to the Bedroom. Everything after this is a big blur all i remember is a lot of loud noises more booze and falling down.

we stayed up all night completely drunk and when I awoke the Dead Apes was gone.

2009-04-13T00:34:00.000-07:00

Aug, Rachael, Carolyn, Shame, Boby and I. 12 pack of Dos XX's, 6 Country Club 40s and bottle of 100 proof.

you get a lot of pictures of people together when everyone is drunk. 100 proof

7up chaser

somewhere in between all of this we went to a party in the Heights? I don't remember but we drank more and stole 2 bottles of liquor one of Rum and one of Vodka and a sweater and brought back Lisa to my house, parties are fucking lame.

don't remember most of this

all i know is that this was around 5:34 in the morning

stay up forever

2009-04-07T23:17:00.000-07:00

Woke up at Jons hungover and with very little sleep under my belt but it was a nice day non the less and he had flowers blooming all around his house.

Went out and got some pizza for our hangovers

Jons going on tour with Whitman and Stella Luna

\

I know that from he pictures the day looks pretty uneventfully but it was definitely not. As night progressed and we lost a sense of time and reality, sounds and conversations progressed and with delirium running strong things were created that in a normal sane state would most likely not have happened. A natural melding of sounds and noise that hopefully will soon be taken out of isolation.

2009-04-07T18:13:00.000-07:00

Steph came down from Ventura to visit for a day and Cowboy Babies hung out with us for a while to. We went down to Schabarum Park and went on a mini hike.

Cowboy Babies had to go to work so we dropped her off at home and then we headed to Stephs house went to the beauty store with her mom then got some Popsicles from the paletero Stephs Sonic Popsicle made her mouth teeth and lips turn completely blue you cant really tell from the picture but it was very blue.

We headed back to my house for a bit then went to Pho VI to eat some Vietnamese food we were only gonna order an appetizer but ended up getting full meals. After that we headed over to Jons house we were trying to go to the L'Keg to see I.E. but we just ended up hanging out at the bedroom and drinking some White Ale.

after a while Baby Conor came over and we bought a Coors 18 pack.

Jon quits every week

Steph had to go home since she was going back up to Ventura in the morning so then it was just Jon , Conor and I. This looks like drunk conversations

noise

Kidman

we got drunk smashed a guitar and a chair then passed out in the morning.

2009-04-07T13:19:00.000-07:00

A bit of vodka some Xanax and a 30 pack of beer to help me sleep

Drew Denny had a party/show at her house Jon, Steven and I were invited . At first we just kind of hung out I bought 8 colt 45 tall cans so we went to work on those. After a while of drinking Kidman played his set to literally 4 people Steven and I were 2 of them then Lou and Sean played to about 4 of 5 people. After that we were all pretty buzzed so I had promised Drew a homemade tattoo the last couple of times that I had talked to her so we started on that. She wanted half of a heart in her arm pit this is what it looked like after the first passing.

Second passing

Third passing

The fourth and final passing after we filled a french press full of beer of course

"Goth candy cane"

Steven and his boobies heart

Drew and her new tattoo

smoke break

then we went to the bathroom where drew played a set for us while we all drank the french press beer

Nicole Kidman

it was pitch black half the time no lights at all. these are the "Sexy" pictures

"Fetish"

then we went to the room and played drunk guitar

crazies

bye bye drew see you next time.

2009-03-20T19:01:00.000-07:00

then after a while the show we started the show. Nicole Kidman went on first

Black Swan

Drew Danburry

Ryland Bouchard (the robot ate me) and Emperor X also played but I didn't get any pictures of them. I was completely sober the whole fucking night and it was horrible for me.

Nicole Kidman

2009-03-11T13:28:00.000-07:00

My friend Aug is crashing at my pad right now he used to live with me before I moved hes a good guy kinda crazy but he means well. This is the "Spenca" face.

I had to leave him alone for about 4 days or so. I went up to Ventura to Visit my Friend Steph. Actually she picked me up and took me up to her house on her way back from Texas.

She brought back nacho cheese from Texas so we got some chipies and warmed up the cheese.

We went to the store and bought steak,red,yellow and purple potatoes for roasting,corn,asparagus,Peters dutch lager and a bottle of red wine. We also rented "Eyes Wide Shut" and 2 seasons of "Curb Your Enthusiasm"

We woke up the next morning and I suggested that we make bloody Mary's so we headed off to the store to buy the ingredients.

I dont think that any of us thought that it was the morning and we had just woken up and we were about to drink a whole bottle of vodka. We drank about 4 or 5 bloody Mary's each with about half the cup filled with vodka. Way to early for that.

This is what Curb looks like when im kinda drunk and without my glasses on.

After that we headed off to Ventura Pier with Zoe to go buy some fresh tuna.

You buy the fish straight from the fisherman right off of the boat. This is Zoe placing her order from the dock to the fisherman.

fresh fishies

sans heads

We had a little bit of smoked Ahi on a cracker it was pretty good

Me and Zoe being dumb

Then we went back to the house and Zoe made some awesome Tuna Poke

Zoe and her pounds of tuna

Steph and me got a case of Rising Moon it was pretty good.

Steph washing dishes

Then somehow it turned to night I don't really remember i was pretty drunk all this shit is just a blur. I kinda remember walking to the store drunk and buying a bottle of Thunder bird or some shit I don't know.

Woke up hungover and walked to the store and got 2 King Cobra 32's. Fucking Red Barn.

got some bomb pizza from Tony's

painted a cabinet gold

You know that song "Angel in the snow" by Elliott Smith? That's what this picture reminds me of even though that makes no sense. none the less I like it as a caption.
"Angel in the snow"

Max Fryface

washing dishes again?

Well that was the beginning of the 3 day of binge drinking so after this i got really fucking drunk and blacked out the rest of the day. Apparently we went to the store for ice cream and i stole a bottle of wine and then we went to Stephs friends house to drink where I got pretty drunk and all this crazy shit happened I was opening and drinking beer at a Vons. They wouldn't sell me beer on the account of me being so smashed I was trying to fight Stephs friends and other people and I pretty much just acted like a drunk ass the whole time. I was completely blacked out for the whole thing it doesn't even sound vaguely familiar to me. I awoke the next day (day 4) completely fucked i felt so horrible and completely detached from reality Steph had went to work so I was home alone for most of the day. I just listened to music all day long trying to stay calm then Steph came home and we hung out till nightfall then she took me back home. I was pretty much freaking out the whole ride home and couldn't stop talking we had a pretty important talk about everything that has happened and that will happen then when I got home I had more long anxiety ridden talks with my mother, a little bit with my best Friend Od and with Gio. I really don't like the person I have become and the situations I have gotten myself into, I want to change.

2009-03-05T23:11:00.000-08:00

Ports O' Call bedroom show number I don't even know anymore but my camera skills are rusty as fuck and i was fairly drunk so I didn't really take many pictures of anything mostly Lou stuff I guess.

2009-02-25T17:06:00.000-08:00

Well I got my camera back today in the mail I sent it in to Canon for repairs and they fixed it free of charge! I have not been able to take pictures of so many good shows such as Anni Rossi at the Echo Curio and at the bedroom, Nicole Kidman, Whitman at the Curio, Chris Segura's going away party and much more. Now that I have it back I will be posting pictures and videos of every show that I attend continuing my semi-documentation of our small community.

2009-02-08T17:17:00.000-08:00

Great show last night at the Echo Curio the line up was: Stella Luna, Kevin Greenspon, Whitman, Drew Dunburry, Watercolor Paintings, Clark 8 and Anni Rossi. I missed Fran's set but got there in the middle of Kevin's. Had a good amount of really good beer courtesy or Odie and BevMo. The show was really good all together the music was amazing and there were lots of friends there and i was really exited to see Anni Rossi play for the first time i have loved her music since the first time that Jon (Kidman) lent me her CD back when i used to live in West Covina. So yeah it was amazing i was completely blown away nothing gets lost in translation form CD to live it actually gets so much better. Unfortunately Watercolor Paintings couldn't make it out to the show but it was still fun. Odie and I got pretty buzzed ate some Down town dogs after the show and talked to several drunk bar patrons oh and i had a nice drunk conversation about American and foreign politics with he guy that owns the liquor store across the street from the Echo Curio apparently he is deeply anti-Semitic. after leaving echo park we headed to Odie's house and met up with some friends (Bresa and company) i was still kinda drunk and got very annoyed by them very quickly so it was around 2:30 in the morning and it was Me, Odie, Bresa and her two friends in the room just talking about the most stupid shit i couldn't take it anymore so I went outside to smoke a fag and then came back inside and sat in the living room in the dark and i guess i eventually passed out because I awoke at 7 in the morning on the same couch and got up to go into Odies room but the door was locked so I was thinking to myself shit he must have slept with one of those girls and now they are asleep in his bed thats why he locked the door so I used his house phone and called him he woke up and opened the door he was like "dude where the fuck were you i thought that you just left" I told him that i had been asleep on his couch and then just went to lay in his bed and we both got some rest. Oh and i finally got my damn Bloody Marry!

2009-02-01T15:02:00.000-08:00

Otto: Your dad was right, I am a bum.
Bart: He didn’t call you a bum. He called you a sponge.
Otto: Sponge! *punches wall* Does this look like something a sponge would do!

2009-02-01T12:35:00.000-08:00

Baby K had her birthday party yesterday at her house (shes on house arrest at the moment) it was pretty fun saw some old friends me and Gio drank two bottles of wine a nice Shiraz and a tangy chardonnay I ended up getting pretty drunk and eventually blacked out i awoke in my bed hungover with a bottle of Thunderbird lying next to me and very little recollection of the last half of the night. That's just how these things go.

so we were all hanging out and talking and we decided to go to Vegas! but then after a bit more deliberation we decided fuck Vegas lets go camping at Cachuma yay camping! so we gathered whatever little supplies that were laying around: a couple of sleeping bags, a little bit of wood, some jackets just stuff off of the top of our heads then we headed to the store to get some booze and food. When we got to the store had some shitty anxiety kicking in and I was kinda freaking out. We ended up getting a 30 pack of turtle beer, a loaf of bread, a small jar of nutella, a small jar of peanut butter (crunchy) and an extra Coors tall can for me to calm my anxiety. so off we were to go camping in the middle of the night completely unprepared and with a loaf of bread and a case of beer.

on the way up to Cachuma we made several random pit stops wherever we wanted if some one wanted to go somewhere we would just go for it first stop was The Hat in East L.A. i had never eaten The Hat before because whenever i was around one before i was a vegetarian. Od bought me a pastrami sandwich it was pretty good especially with mustard and pickles. Oh and did i mention that i had 0$ on this entire trip i mean what the fuck do you need money for camping? i aint gonna buy no fucking trees.

after stopping at The Hat we ended up heading towards the Pleasure chest I didn't end up taking my camera inside but we were there for about a half hour or so. Made me totally miss my old bondage gear. So after the sex shop we ended up going to Ventura to visit Steph and Zoe at there house. We took some beer in and mostly played Rock Band the whole time. This is one of my favorite pieces of "art" that they have up in there house I call it "baby with a mustache"

Steph and Zoe's fridge

this is the note/drawing thingy that i left them the first time that I ever went up to Ventura/Santa Barbra to party with them

my sticker in he kitchen

and the droor that was supposed to be designated as my droor but now it just has a bunch of party stuff in it which actually makes sense so its fine

Steph's Canon

after hanging out at Steph and Zoes for a while Od asked me if i wanted to go to San Francisco. At first i didn't believe him but after he looked it up and said that it would take us about 5 hours or so to get there so I told him that i was fucking down. We got in the car and took a vote and asked everyone if they were down for S.F. and everyone said yes. So now we are going to San Francisco with a loaf of bread I have 0$ and a case of beer, awesome.

Car joints

Car antics

Car sleeping

and finally car drawing

Gio and Adam are #1

finally got to S.F. everyone slept on the way there except for me i just stayed awake and drank beer. These are the first pictures i took in San Fran

we got there just in time to watch the sun rise over the bay

bakers

I love my friends

i like to drink

then we drove to the golden gate

then we took a little walk up to the bridge

i was walking up this little narrow trail wearing my fucking dress shoes actualy i wore them the whole time and we did a lot of walking

this is where we took a little break from the mini-hike

then we finaly got to the top and we kinda just chilled up there for a couple of minutes

then Donk started shaking the support cables and made odie all nervous so we got off

Salty Lady im down

then the walk back to the car off to another destination

we went walked along the bay for a bit and stopped at this nice little spot

crab claw

more baking in SF

something about the Rock movie or something i dont know ask Manuel

then we walked around Haight and Ashbury window shoping and such

PlANTTREES

REAK has spots up in SF

so we were walking around and Odie had picked up a paper earlyer that day and he noticed that Rodriguez was gonna play a free show at the Ameoba so we walked around untill then and cought the show

it was a nice short show he played about 4 or 5 songs then as we were walking back to the car adam jumped on Donks back and Donk just carried him this was the second time on this trip that they did that the first time was in Ventura when they went to the store

yeah we did a lot of stuff in S.F. i did not take pics of everything that we did but i took pics of most of the stuff. So these last pics are just from the long drive home

everyone slept on the way there and on the way back everyone that is but me i did not sleep at all the entire time and i drank the entire time so by this point i was pretty delirious and i thought that Gio eating bread was the most intriguing thing ever so i recorded it

after several hours of driving and sleeping we made a pit stop and went piss and had a smoke

I tryed to take a picture of this DONOVAN road for Donk but I took it out of focus

then i guess this is Donk punching me

then Donk accosting me with his switch blade lookin all crazy

we were about 1/4 the way home and i really wanted some beer so we pulled over hit up a rite aid and Gio bought me 2 ice house tall cans

then this is me no sleep for about 2 days and non stop drinking: haggerd

so yeah that was S.F. crazy no sleep and drunk.

2008-11-24T17:56:00.000-08:00

Gio, Adam, Od, Manuel and DONK came over the other day and we had a Mickeys pictograph challenge with two 12 packs of Mickey's grenades and 2 King Cobra 40s

that was my first riddle answer

I miss my SUBHUMANS shirt

Odie and Manuel trying to figure out there riddles

Mmmikey's

crazy ol' DONK

Dirtbag

this picture i like to call "Junkie Gio"

then DONK ruff- housing with Adrian

Shhhh

Chicks dig tattoos

Punk?

some of the pictographs were hard

Adam was kinda tired/drunk

Donk and his family crest tattoo

then Gio and I were trying to figure out some riddles but I don't remember what they were

bullshit art in my room

Gio's tattoo (yes a mother fucking humming bird and flower)

here I don't know if she was really passed out or if I just wanted to take a picture that looked like she was passed out

then we drank for a bit more and everyone just eventually went home late, drunk and full of riddles.

2008-11-24T16:45:00.000-08:00

Ok so now I watch a hell of a lot of ROSEANNE i never liked Roseanne very much when I was younger I don't think that I ever "got it" but now i cant stop watching it. I love the cynicism and the way Dan just drinks beer all day just handling his life and trying to stay sane around Roseanne and his family. There are a lot of other things that I can say about Roseanne but I wont all that I can say is that I love the show and that now that I understand what is going on in it that it is amazing. Also i think I have a crush on Darlene .

Becky and Darlene drinking peppermint schnapps at the Lanford Lunchbox

got a bunch of Roseanne stocked up on my DVR for later.

2008-11-19T20:47:00.000-08:00

Woke up at Micha's house after the party and started drinking

Manuel and Dead Ape

then we went out for some pizza

shitty pizza and shitty beer what else could we ask for?

we played a lot of video games: Pac-Man, Mario Kart, Galaga and Zelda on the old Nintendo 64

Penny was there

that was pretty much it I stayed at Micha's house for about 3 days we drank played video games
went through old notes from the high school days with penny played Uno and Monopoly and just hung out then I went home.

2008-11-19T16:10:00.000-08:00

Well we threw OD one last birthday party this one was a surprise party at Michas new house old friends and lots of beer. Thus ends the last of OD's 21st birthday parties. First off some pre party drinking waiting for the guest of honor.

then we all hid in the kitchen when OD showed up and jumped out and yelled Surprise! hey sometimes cliche works he was pretty surprised and happy (and a bit drunk)

then we started the party. Od was working on a wizard staff

OD and DONK

crazy Steph

shotgun

Dead Apes and Micha

somewhere in between OD started punching people like sometimes not even saying anything just going up to people and swinging it was pretty great I remember standing in the kitchen and OD just walking up to me and swinging just clipping my head and then going outside and swinging at Dead Ape and landing a punch in the mouth Dead Ape just smiled with his bloody teeth showing. Well i guess DONK wasn't having it so he brought down the : BROHAMMER

then there were puppies

and puking

then we were done a couple of hours of good ol fashion partying ending with puking and fun had by all.

2008-11-12T16:24:00.000-08:00

So OD turns 21 and we had a little birthday get together at my house we started off with some good beer, Sailor Jerry rum and some home made taquitos

Steven!

Dead Ape

dead ape likes taquitos

then Adam, Gio and Manuel showed up

Adam

Gio

OD was trying to take pictures of peoples eyes

half shot

then shots all around OD and Adam went first

Beer chaser

then Manuel and Steve

then Me and Dead Ape but Dead Ape went ahead and just took the shot before i had even poured mine so we went again

Bottoms up

then a half shot for the lady

then I gave her shit about taking a half shot and not a full shot

jackasses

then off to the room i guess i don't really remember we were all pretty drunk by that point

we opened up a bottle of wine

I don't even know whats going on here

gang signs?

My broseph

so i guess at this point we went to go buy more beer but we were all way to drunk to drive so we had my kid brother drive us to the liquor store

liquor store!

I guess that's the last picture of the night we drank a lot more, more people came over I guess that me and dead ape were in the pool naked maybe other people maybe not i don't really remember much but when I awoke my room was pretty trashed and dead ape was asleep in my room so I assume that it was a good drunk night.

2008-11-12T16:10:00.000-08:00

Here is just some stuff : my colored pencils

bubble bath from when I was a little kid

DRINK MORE WINE

2008-11-09T22:15:00.000-08:00

Got a new digital camera:Canon PowerShot SX110 IS Black

took some test pics to try it out.

and yes I know that black and white is cheating so what?

2008-11-07T19:21:00.000-08:00

Lots of stuff has been happening Ports O' Call shows, Parties, Drunkenness, Skating, Drawing/Painting/Writing, I also went to the mental health clinic and got some meds for my depression but i haven't taken them yet. I hope that when i do start taking them that i will be able to live a somewhat regular life with people in it and normal relationships and social situations where I'm not having anxiety the whole time or having to be completely drunk. I don't only drink to be some stupid asshole one of the reasons i drink is because i cant stand to be around people most of the time I start to get this bad anxiety weather it be people that i know or complete strangers I cant handle it unless I'm completely drunk anyone who knows me or has seen me most likely have seen me sober very rarely. I have a ton of other reasons for drinking I love the taste, i love to drink with my friends, i like being drunk, and many other things but like I said before one of the reasons I do drink so much is that I cant handle being around people so when I'm drinking or completely drunk none of that matters. Its one of the most comfortable feelings to crack open a cold beer or uncork a nice bottle of wine and begin drinking that's really the only way i can handle anything is with a drink. I cant handle reality or existence without being somewhat sedated its all just to much. But anyhow I'm going to start taking my meds soon so maybe it will change the way I do things hopefully for the better but I do love to drink and have been drinking for half of my life so I'm not going to be giving that up but hopefully I can have some control over it or something I'm really not sure depression is hard and to top it off anxiety is worse so I'm just gonna have to work through all these things like we all do.

2008-10-19T23:19:00.000-07:00

Had a good show at Ports O' Call yesterday i only took a hand full of pictures because i was busy drinking a bottle of scotch most of the night.

Nicole Kidman

I.E. played first but i couldn't really get any pictures cause she played in complete darkness as usual with only her small raving lights. Then Naomi Elizabeth played which was good we requested half the songs in her set and she played them all for us.

John Thill played some new songs and closed with a sing along "Love D.U.I."

Whitman did the "lighting" for John Thill

twice council visit played a nice 3 song set but i was recording it for Heather on her camera so i don't have any pictures of the performance. The Junkyard Angels also played but i didn't get any pics of them either. Then Whitman played and we all drank and were drunk.

halfway during Whitman's set i had to go buy more beer so i left got a 30 pack (there was only about 6 of us left) and when i got back Whitman was playing on a ladder with a dinosaur head on so he finished his set and we drank more beer. We convinced Nicole Kidman to play a short set of request and it was good just about six of us int he kitchen drinking beer and listening to Nicole Kidman.

Baby Conor is a great kid

then we convinced Sarah Davis to play little keyboard

at this point it was already around 5 a.m. so we all drank the rest of the beer and headed home. I got home just in time to watch the sun rise from my bedroom window so that was nice passed out and now I'm just working of this hangover.

Whitman (the video is sideways but its so dark that you cant really see anything anyhow. oh and its a new song also)

Sarah Davis

2008-10-16T16:40:00.000-07:00

A 24 case of Corona a 12 pack of Blue Moon, 2 tall cans of Bud Light, 2 bottles of Cabernet sauvignon, Xanax, 2 pints of Tetleys stout, a six pack of Shiner bock black stout, 1/4 of a miller 40, a 70$ bottle of Moet and Chandon champagne, 2 tall cans of Ice House and a half bottle of Johnni Walker red. That was over the course of 2 days a mini binge id say.well at least i ended up with some cool stuff this was in my bag after i awoke in my bed at home with a pretty bad hangover topped of with a bit of anxiety and 2 days of no sleep.

2008-10-11T19:12:00.001-07:00

These are some pics from my new room I'm still hanging stuff and putting the room together but this is what it looks like now.

this is the top of my television i try to keep little trinkets and stuff that people give me up here.

and this is my new camera

art supplies (I really don't have very much all this stuff really sucks)

life supplies (pills, knife, lighters stuff like that)

some shoes I'm working on for my mom

and here are some illustrations that i have been working on nothing to fancie just some late night stuff (the brushes are for size comparison)

ROCK IT

here are some zines that I'm working on also

and "things around"

now lets venture outside where i have been gardening for a few weeks now i didn't take any full pics I'm not going to until all the gardens are done but here are some nice flowers for now

and i really like the black chilies and the black branches on this little tree

well I guess that's it for now some interesting stuff has happened over the past few weeks but i don't feel like writing about it but i leave you here with a Bukowski quote and one of those myspacy self portraits in the mirror (since i live alone now and by alone i mean that i have no girlfriend living with me which i guess is good cause I'm never any good at picking them anyhow.)

2008-09-02T17:58:00.000-07:00

No more La Puente/West Covina I now live in Chino Hills also no camera only a film camera but I don't have money to develop the film anytime soon. I will make it to every Port's O Call Bedroom show but far less Smell shows and Pehr space shows. Thinking about cutting all my hair off and i now have new pills so lets see how this round goes. Not to depressed but depressed enough but at least i have a BevMo right behind my house so that's a big fucking plus. Zines coming out soon and art shows coming up so that should be nice.

2008-08-24T12:35:00.000-07:00
