Vanishing via Empiricality

Umm, how do I start this? Well I have been avoiding communication with everyone this week. And if you are one of them I am very sorry. Sometimes, I feel a need to disappear for awhile and selfishly reflect on my life (where it currently resides & where it will go). What lured me out of my shell was a short chat with an Old Mexican Fisherman at the Santa Monica Pier. I didn't speak much Spanish & he didn't speak English, but we shared a few exciting moments (like when we spotted 2 stingrays cruising below us and the time he caught a baby tiger shark). I realized how exciting life can be if I take notice of these tiny miracles that are occurring everywhere.
So now that I am ready to return back to civilization, here are a few silent observations of my surroundings this week. The first one is about line dwellers of the iPhone craze, and the second is a morning sketch of the local swimming dig. Thanks for dropping in!

Un-zipped

Since emerging from a bad cold I just realized how much I took being healthy for granted. So in the spirit of my new jolt for life, here are a few things I wanted to share with you.








My primary headquarters is this home office. If I'm not here, I'm either at the production office, film set, or Barnes & Nobles. I am slowly going blind staring into monitors all day long. Even though it pains my eye balls, the enjoyment of creating artwork for clients, friends and myself is priceless.

The beach, well what can I say... I'm from Maui. I started to surf about 2 years ago. I can ride a wave via the white wash. It's not a pretty sight but I get a real kick out of it. Otherwise, when business or life gets hectic I take time out of my day to visit the ocean. My phone is turned off and I bask in the peace I find here.

You might think this is hila- rious. These stickers are a record of how much apples I've eaten. The group above is from 2006. Below is 2007. My goal is to surpass last years intake. Wish me luck & thanks for reading.
