A Year in Da Life...

2010! Thank you Jesus! You're finally here! Geez, what the hell happened? It all started out like Mr. Rogers. Everything was so sweet. New black president ready to change the world...

Then Michael had to go and die on us! Nooo!! That still hurts ya'll...damn.

But among all those big moments of the year, none can compare to the loss of my grandmother. In her passing, I found myself growing in ways I never would have otherwise. I finally understood life the way she always explained it. Love and compassion. That what its all about. If you don't have that, you don't have life. That is all we have in this little make-believe world. I miss her everyday.

And somehow life still goes on....

What a year!

Halloween Highlights!

I'm just so proud of myself I just gotta post this...Me and Alphonso's first attempt at jack-o-lanterning. Pretty awesome! Of course I decided to do my best friend, my doggie, Brotha Roscoe. Alphonso decided to keep it gansta and did his version of an OG. Love the tear drop.

Need an affordable Christmas gift?...HOLLA! :o)

So the holidays are seriously right around the corner, and if you're like me...you are probably BRIZ-OKE!

Michael Jackson = Love

This has been a very strange/difficult/confusing summer. Among my losses, the world loss MUSIC. I honestly believe music died along with Michael Jackson (and all you gotta do is turn on the radio for proof!) For as long as I can remember Prince and Michael Jackson have my idols. The list of favorite songs is endless. It built my childhood and each song is a perfect memory. Like so many people, the death of Michael effected us as if he was a close family member. No matter the controversies, he grew up with all of us...in front of the entire world. White people had the Beatles, everyone else had Michael Jackson :)

Sometying about death manifests a new birth from that life. Each song seems to hold a spirit along with it. I will always believe he was a great man created to do exactly what he did. Make people happy. We should all do the same in our own way.

Here are some pictures taken at Neverland Ranch and Hollywood Blvd the day after his death...then I went back again the of his memorial service (yeah, kinda obsessed)

855 @ Linden

Well, theres one more week left to view my lil Mission painting at the 855 Linden Art Gallery in Carpinteria. It feels so nice to be apart of such an amazing community. I'm loving this little town and looking forward to being more involved in the gallery's activities! Here's a few snaps of the opening reception. Make sure you stop by the gallery to check it out! Exhibit ends Sept. 14. :)

School Days

Back to the ol' drawin' board... Literally. Santa Barbara City College is amazing, let me just tell you. The campus is absolutely breathtaking (mainly because of the insane beach view). It really makes me remember why I'm here and to really REALLY enjoy it for all its worth. I have so much to be thankful for...its nice that school puts me in that mood.
