Don’t ask me why because I don’t know why. I have a weird obsession with Fabio.
It’s not his fabulous hair, his strong built, his handsome Italian look – I don’t know what attracts me to him. I don’t find him much a joke, but at the same time I kinda do because he doesn’t take himself seriously either. He exists, and his existence is fantastic.

I came across a recent “no-makeup makeup” trend being shown in Youtube tutorials featuring makeup to wear to make it look like you’re not wearing makeup. Hey, I have an easy answer how to achieve this no-makeup look: wear no makeup. BAM.

Taking Portlandia’s advice, I did some pickling of my own! I pickled a font.
I only needed certain letters for a project, but I decided to go all the way and make the whole alphabet.

What does having a “career” mean anymore? These days you can make money from posting videos on the internet or just showing up to comic conventions. The age old standard idea of having a career has dissolved and you can actually make a living doing things you love.
That being said, it’s not always that easy. The “creative” field is definitely a tough market to make yourself stand out. As much as it is a challenge, a lot of people know how to make it work – you can probably thank social media for that. There’s apparently an art to knowing how to use sites and apps effectively to reach the kind of people you want to reach. I don’t know the first thing about it, but it’s actually possible. I’ve seen it work… through other people of course.

You know when you get so stressed out that you just have to take a moment to write a haiku about it?
No?
Well, you might want to try it. Sometimes when you get so overloaded you feel like you’re headed straight for Panic Attack City, it’s beneficial to get out your worries via that haiku rhythm – 5 syllables on the first line, 7 syllables on the second, and 5 again on the last. 5-7-5, 5-7-5, 5-7-5. It’s like deep breaths made of poetry.

I must confess. I started listening to my favorite band because (big embarrassing confession time) my widdle tween crush, Billy from Good Charlotte, loved them.
By the time I’d tuned in they had just taken a hiatus when their musical genius guitarist and singer ran into some medical issues just after finishing up their fourth album. I figured I’d give them a shot, being impressed with the fact that the three members achieved pretty decent success at the ripe old age of fifteen years.

Here’s a series that I may want to keep up with. I love coming across random scribbles and doodles everywhere I go. Sometimes I take a photo; sometimes I don’t. Here’s a small collection of recently found “graffiti”.

I’ve always been into fonts. I loved drawing them out by hand, copying band logos, creating my own, browsing through endless supply of fonts on da font, etc.
I’m currently taking a couple of basic graphic design classes, and typography obviously plays a large role in graphic design. I’m all for learning professional ways to incorporate type into designs.

It’s so easy to get lost in Youtube land. I see it as a deep hole you trip and fall into, and when you finally snap out of it, you become aware of how many hours have passed and you question what life even means.
Anyway, I’m not one to get lost into the typical vast of useless videos, like dogs in shoes, epic cats, the great dane that just doesn’t want to get up, frankenstein cats (I see a theme here…). I like my entertainment from the professionals. Talk shows are my thing, or anything I know that will guarantee laughs coming from my favorite funny people.

I love Cyndi Lauper and I also support wanting to have fund$, so this mason jar really caught my attention. And I wanted it. But since I don’t have fund$, I used my crafty skills to make my own.
