February 19th, 2011 Three day weekend! Hooray! Today, I got to spend some quality time with June. I took her to the Children’s Museum after breakfast and we stayed there until lunch-time. After lunch I spent a while organizing and resizing my images for the art show on March 4th. There’s still a […]
February 20th, 2011 The weather was beautiful today. I spent the first part of the day preparing my images for the art show. Still not done! In the afternoon, I stopped by the Ace Hardware store here in Fullerton. This hardware store kicks ass. Funnily enough I feel like I find more selection here […]
February 21st, 2011 Another bulk posting. Sorry again. I’m getting close to the end of this experience and my ambition to post these everyday has all but completely waned. “Aw, I’ll post them at the end of the weekend.” I think it was the same last weekend too. Today’s creative project was to […]
February 22nd, 2011 What a nice end to my day today. I was back at the office after a lovely three day weekend and when I got home I got to spend some time with Jenny and June. I knew that I was going to finish my Pinto-graph project because all I needed was […]
February 23rd, 2011 When I got home from work today I felt the weight of this epic print order on my shoulders. So I knew I needed to finish it tonight no matter what. So, that’s exactly what I did. I have been working on this process in peice-meal over the course of this […]
Febraury 24th, 2011 Over the course of the day today, I realized just how expensive this print order was going to be. I didn’t want to spend that much. I have some images that will be poster sized, some that will be 11X17 and most of them which will be 8X10. The poster and […]
February 25th, 2011 I spent the night at my office printing pictures until about 3am. I woke up this morning and kept printing. It was a day off from normal work duties. My goal was to get my print as much as I could by the days end. Jenny called in the […]
February 26th, 2011 This morning I had breakfast with the family and then I had to drive 60 miles out to Simi Valley to pick up a toner cartridge. It was the only black toner cartridge in Southern California that I could pick up on a Saturday. When I got home I spent […]
February 27th, 2011 Sunday Morning. Last night I printed until very late at night at my dad’s office. I woke up fairly late this morning and posted my previous days to the blog. Later this evening, was Junie’s birthday party. June’s actual birthday is tomorrow but today was the party. It was just a […]
February 28th, 2011 Today’s June’s birthday. Jenny and I got up and took her to Disneyland for the day. Jenny’s mom, grandma Rosie, also spent the day with us. It couldn’t have been a better day at the park. It was Monday and the park was completely empty. I don’t think I remember seeing […]
March 1st, 2011 This morning I moved into the art gallery. I called upon my friend Chris Hill to give me a hand. Chris is the guy I always call upon for help because he is usually up for it. He’s the guy that helped me install hardwood floors when I moved into my […]
March 2nd, 2011 Today didn’t feel like another day to me. Instead it felt more like an epic continuation of yesterday. I didn’t sleep at all and I just worked through the morning. Cutting, mounting, taping. Over and over and over again. The biggest drawback to this show was that if I simply […]
March 3rd, 2011 Day 362. One more day until opening night of the art show and we only had 169 days on the wall. Jenny was pretty concerned and so was I, except I began to come to the conclusion that whatever happens is what happens and that just might be the way it […]
March 4th, 2011 I stayed up all night in the gallery mostly setting up the installation pieces for the show. There was the 3D Zeotrope which consisted of a table, a record player, a small television and a video camera. There was the video display which was set up in a room off to […]
March 5th, 2011 Last night really felt like the end of the blog to me but I still had two more days to fill. I knew I wanted to do something that wasn’t hard. The perfect idea came to my head- ginormous bubbles! My buddy Jeff had some success last night with the […]
March 6th, 2011 I’m sitting at a local coffee shop in Fullerton called McClain’s and thinking about what to write for my final thoughts. The first question that pops to mind is “What did you learn from this experience?”. That’s a good question. It’s a tough question because there are many answers to […]
