Little Store - Big Name

Posted on 4:12 PM, under

Hello once again...

So today is an interesting day being new years eve and all and I have not one thing to do other than chill with my cousin, play drums on Guitar Hero World Tour and watch the boob tube... Yay...

But what I want to talk about isn't really about today or even what has happened today, but actually yesterday and what my friends and I did after bowling. After a horrible two rounds of lobbing a twelve pound ball down the signature lanes alley, we decided to hit up this small, Podunk pizza place called DaVincis tucked away between a liquor store and a car wash. Never really being there, I had no idea what to expect... good, bad, decent... tolerable. I didn't care. I was there to just hang out while watching the seconds on the clock drip like a broken faucet in dire need of repair. While we were there waiting for our order to go through I began to draw on the twice used paper place mats that we were given. For a while I lost myself in my abstract world once again, drawing everything from the cups on the table to my usual designs that have no true purpose other than to devour whomever was watching. As I got up to leave after paying the check and realizing how much time has passed, a friend asked if he could have the drawing. Me, being my usual self, I didn't see any potential in the drawing, where others saw something that I may not have.

The reason I tell you this story is because I find this happening to me more than just once in a blue moon. Although I feel that my brother is pushing this whole shirt business to get started asap, he sees potential in my work and that is what I now need to realize. Like I have mentioned... It is a journey and I can't wait to see where it goes.

Happy New Years and good luck what ever you do.

Hey there readers...

Blogging for the fun of it is all new to me. I believe the last time I really had a daily blog (daily - used loosely) was when xanga's blogging website was a new view on the market. Yeah, that was short lived. So here I am once again back in the blogging world, giving myself a name and showing what I have to offer.

Lately, my brother and I have been talking on starting our own shirt company. On my free time, I have been designing shirts and making names. Don't forget asking people what they would like to see on a shirt. Most of my inspiration comes from all seven seasons of rob dobi's shirt designs, everyday instances, and music titles. I believe that with my experience and major in graphic design and my brothers major and exposure to business, I really think this may actually happen. At the moment though, I find it overwhelming. We have been in search of printing companies, websites names, and everything in between. I guess all I can ask from you is... wish us luck and give as many ideas as possible... who knows?!? you could be wearing it on a shirt in the future. Right now it is all talk though.
Other than that, I haven't been up to much. It has been a nice and cold winter break and I have another 10 days of it. Yay!!! Bowling tonight with a few friends and possibly hanging out afterwards. That's about it!!!
