TUMBLR
Friends. Please check out my Tumblr briefrelief
It’s going to be my new blog and I’m going to keep it as updated as possible. It’s going to be the next dotcom bubble if i were to be modest, or the future if i were to brag.
Take a moment out of your busy stressful life (not you steve, you chief on that heady and blast that dead, you need not partake in this) and take a brief moment of relief, to get inside the mind of yours truly.
Shameless self-promotion all day baby.

NU A+D poster contest
The following day of sausage fest, I had to go to campus to speak with some advisors at Ryder and while there I was told about this competition the art & design department was doing for two of their upcoming events. One was for the annual dinner and the second one was for the student exhibition. Below are my two entries.

Films to see.
After spending god knows how many hours with you guys, I’ve started to become a huge fan of tea and movies, and im not talking about that lipton and hollywood steez. I’m talking about that chocolate mate and herzog on herzog level shit. Now that movie night is no longer a possibility, I thought it’d be cool if we can all make a “top 10 films to see” list from everyone. We can then watch movies from that list, also this list has be carefully planned out, any shitty picks might get you heat from pat the bORRg.
Maybe this can escalate to a top 10 list of all sorts of things such as books, albums, & trolls.

How do we charge?
So, long time issue, first time poster [about this issue]. I come for guidance guys. As all of you know, I’m a graphic designer, which means at some point between doing things for free and beer to my wishful 6 figure standard price, I’ll be faced with pricing work based on who and what the work is for. I recently ran across this which got me thinking, but not until last night did it really strike a cord. I received a request to do a gig poster for a friend of mine which I have already done once for free. This time he said he’ll pay me which I thought was great until he told me $50. That’s bologna sandwich money in graphic design. I can’t say no and too shy to ask for more. So I’m stuck in a position of neither working for free nor full, I’m basically a cheap massage-parlor tug job right now. Not even. By accepting this, I slip into a slippery slope of allowing myself to accept cheap rates with the “beggars can’t be choosers” mentality. By saying no, I don’t get $50, which is something I need right now. Do I let principal rule over necessity? Or vice-versa? We give and we give and we give and sometimes we just need to…take, just a little. AM I RIGHT 731? I know that we all work in fields that require personal pricing so whats the advice. I feel like this is something we’ll all run into sooner or later, and I know a few of you have resolved this already, so let the opinions flow.
As far as the poster goes, the request was for 5 posters with one master and 5 interchangeable templates on the master that can undergo minute changes such as dates/bands/colors/small graphics.
This is my take on it. I have posted day 1, 2 and 5, so you can get a sense of cohesiveness to the set. The band names and dates are not included. Any opinion on the work itself? Is it $50 work?
All opinions welcomed. Thanks.

So…What kind of guys do models date?
Terry Richardson…I can’t even begin to tell you how much I hate him but at the same time, I can’t even begin to explain how much I envy him.
Do yourself a favor, watch this.

Installation
I’m not the biggest fan of installations and I feel like it takes a lot for me to give it more than a split second of attention but I find this installation fascinating. The dullness + the chaos makes this piece brilliant. Give it a look, voice a hate or appreciate.
