I was telling my friend George how much I want to get back into fashion illustration. He told me there’s a monthly meetup with old school illustrators and invited me to join them.
Dried out Sharpies have always been my favorite to illustrate with since they offer pressure sensitive line…
KEEPS: Live Like You're Dying by Chuck Palahniuk →
I’m reblogging this old post from over a year and a half ago because, just like everyone else, I think of the New Year as a new opportunity. And this article by Chuck Palahniuk never fails to remind me of that.

In the new April 2010 issue of Men’s Health, Author Chuck Palahniuk crafted a beautiful piece in The Best Life section entitled “Live Like You’re Dying”.

Newsweek: Why Is Art So Damned Expensive →
No one looks up to you for buying a fleet of Bentleys, but own a flock of Richard Serras, and you become a supporter of culture.

For example, in 2009, the Freelancers Union played a key role getting the government of New York City to abolish the Unincorporated Business Tax (UBT) for independent workers earning less than $100,000 per...

Marian Goodman: The Accidental Art Mogul →
Goodman explains her modus operandi: “It’s very important to me to make my decisions based on my honest feelings about the work. Not to go running after every artist who’s hot for a year. And not to be focused on trying to gather a bunch of famous artists together … I promised myself I would not be swayed by an artist’s popularity or their money-making abilities—it wasn’t always easy to...

Olympus Stylus Epic - This was my absolute favorite camera (the 35mm f/2.8 model in black, to be specific) throughout college, sadly it was stolen some time ago and they stopped making them. Fortunately, you can find them on eBay for cheap (hopefully under $40).
