AFRICA!!!

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.

You can also fallow travie on twitter and through his blog

Random tidbit, the work at the top of my blog was inspired by a famous South African graffiti artist, Faith 47.

Gym Class Heroes Concert

^Shirt I gave to Gym Class Heroes at there concert tonight. Hope they liked it! I didnt get to give it to them in person. Which I was really dissapointed about.. a lil heart broken. I had been lookin forward to meeting them for like 2 weeks but I feel blessed that I even had the opportunity to get my artwork to them and go to their concert. I thought they were never gonna come to NC!! and the concert was AMAZING! Travis was a lil sick and he still gave a great show. I had so much fun! I was exusted afterwards cause I was so amped up in the concert!

GCH if your reading this, PLEASE LET ME KNOW THAT YOU GOT MY SHIRT! send me an email, call me, myspace message, or leave a comment here! just let me know u got it!! please!!
Also, Thank you for putting on a great show last night even though yall were tired after touring non stop for the "last too long". lol. I wanted to hear some more from Papercut Cronicles and some tracks from For the Kids. but anyways... I hope yall are resting up for your next show, yall deserve it.
