newsletter; hi hello.. so i have been pretty absentee these last few weeks. some clients disappeared (i did manage to locate some however), my car was impounded by the city (despite the fact that it was in front of my studio and completely undrivable ie: abandoned by phoenix city standards.) and i was also out for a week with 102 degree fevers. but its a new year and it will be filled with hope and promise, or something like that, yeah.. things are bad. but i am sure they could be even more shitty. and really, despite all that. my holidays were pretty good. saw family, friends, made homemade pizzas. had a lot of cocktails. lots of good conversations. i just didn't think the car situation would go to these unmanageable levels. but there is a lot of things that i can't imagine that happen every day. before this rash of bad luck - i did add work to my hearts collection and it is honestly, the best work i have done. 'best of times, worst of times', always. life is balanced on opposites (copyright / registered / trademark) , always. i hope your holiday was super nice. and if not, that you at least enjoyed it anyway. there will be a lot of updates this year. hopefully more this week. the way we find a way to survive - shit, is a miracle...

a moment; it was tuesday afternoon, maybe 2:45. him and i were outside smoking nicotine and enjoying passion fruit juice with double shots of rum. the barista at the coffee shop that is in the building where i live rode by on his bicycle and yelled 'hey drunky brewster!!!' if he only knew i was drinking again.. the boy i was outside with, couldn't stop laughing.

so all i do is make hearts and try to get finish up all remaining projects/client work i have for 2008. pretty boring and exciting and just anxious. i am planning my book of hearts and also a book of words. very small runs of both. updates on my life is balanced on opposites©®tm - i make really bad decisions and than i make really good work (work hard, party hard, etc) and the bad decisions and the crossing of invisible lines keeps getting extended. i think for 2009 my only goal will be to somehow learn some type of self discipline. kind of like travis bickle.. things i did in 2008: i stopped biting my nails. because i wanted to paint them of course. my car broke down and it is still broken and now it is impounded. i used public transport for the very first time. i did not mind. but, i think i may be starting to. i got a my first tattoo and i am already planning my 2nd. i started a new collection. i finally feel completely comfortable in my work and ability. i also decided i would learn motion design even if it would kill me. hello 2009. my colorist added pink to my hair for the first time in, like, 5 years. i went crazy and became more enlightened and maybe even more grounded. i was in a wedding for the first time in 15-20ish years.
