Ok I'm kinda hype about peoples trips to Africa right now because a few of my peoples from the design school just got back from Ghana this week. They toured all of Ghana for a month studying art forms and learning about culture, ect... I took the trip two summers ago and it was...life changing, enriching, eye opening, rewarding, heart warming, depressing and inspiring all at the same time. but really the whole experience was indescribable...which SUCKS because I want to explain it to people so bad but its hard. So every time I find out that someone else has gone to a part of Africa I am itching to hear what their was experience was like in hopes that I will find a way to better articulate my experience and share it with others. and of course it makes me reminisce of my amazing time in Ghana.
Soooo, as I get pictures and such from my NCSU friends I will be posting the most interesting ones here. But until then, please fallow Travie and his adventure through Africa with the Staying Alive Foundation.

Random tidbit, the work at the top of my blog was inspired by a famous South African graffiti artist, Faith 47.
So there's an exclusive online show on ESPN called Road Trip that travels to different campuses on a big game day. They people from the show wanted to do a little piece about our free expression tunnel on campus film some art students painting the ESPN Road Trip logo... Saul Flores, Samuel Davis III and I got the chance to skip class Thursday afternoon and paint the logo for Road Trip crew while doin some lil comedy sketches... If you can't tell what hes saying at the end it's suposed to be like the chorus from that T.I. song whatever you like... Yeaaaah. lol There was a lil part they filmed with just me and the host where he came up to our painting and tried to touch it and I got to act all mean and swat his hand away like "Ey! Dont touch!" but I guess they took that part out... :-( Needless to say we had a BALL, and got a few cans of free paint in the process...
Here are some pictures too... It wasnt the best but I'm really proud of it considering we only have like 2 hours! Thanks guys!
