They’ve always said things like ‘Love is in the air..’ whenever Valentines Day is around the corner. Well, I walked out today and the only thing I see in the air is fucking clouds and falling snow. Leave it to Cleveland to make even the most loving heart feel colder than Omarion’s ice box. In any case, I found myself doing the first Valentines Day flyer of the year for me, per a request from a friend/client. Kind of bitter sweet considering the minute I finished, I got a call from a close friend telling me his wife’s mother had passed earlier that day. Its kind of crazy how thoughts of love, candy and shit like that can so quickly get replaced by such sad sad things. I met his mother-in-law once before. She was my spades partner and we pretty much kicked him and his son’s ass. In all fairness, they beat us first (luckily), but I can still see her face in my mind and while I didn’t[…]

A few years ago, while in Brazil, I almost died in a plane crash. I say this without truly knowing if I’d have died….I mean, I’ve seen or heard of people who have lived through some tremendous experiences.

It is 20 days past the start of a new year, and I’m just deciding to update this blog thing I have. Yeah, I know, I’m late. I figure though, fuck it. Its better to do it now than to never do it at all. Hardest part of doing this is trying to decide what I want to do with it. I’ve come across a ton of different concepts and post ideas from various people’s blogging efforts. Things like clothing, foods, artwork, rants….you name it. One girl even posted nude pictures of women every day. So then, what does a Cleveland native, illustrator and graphic designer post day after day that might be interesting to onlookers? This thought lead me to one realization, and one decision. Probably the most important decision of the future of my blogging efforts, my website and quite frankly, my future. The answer: Whatever the hell I want to! Why should I worry about people who decide to read my post? Why should I worry about[…]
