sept 11
has become a
measurement
of time.

another year
gone /gained.



it's a bright
sunny blue day.
eerily reminiscent
of that morning
9 years ago.




words can't
express my love
for gotham



i take you
as you are.



my imperfect
mighty superhero

reduce an idea
to a few strokes



or a single gesture



and then it
will make sense





...like a logo.

after my last
entry, i feel like an
oxymoron posting this.
"feel"....no "I am" an
oxymoron.



call me out.



but in my defense,
this is time sensitive

person i know
who can make

look rad.

unzipped, 1995







if the design world
isn't inundated with success stories,
it's about cool apartments, "it girls"
and street style fashions.



how lame we
are to constantly talk
about our possessions.
our aesthetic.



so what.
who cares.



it's simply
decoration.



we need more stories
that share those great moments
of inspiration, vulnerability
rejection and doubt.



i find that part of
the creative process
the most genius.



authentic
fragile.



far more
illustrative than
the material things we
surround ourselves with



i saw unzipped
when i was 10 and
it exposed me to
the reality of
a dreamer


and it made
me want design
and new york
even more.



love is
not without
vulnerability



isaac mizarhiis is proof
that great artists are not always
riding high in april



but with a dream
and a grand imagination
you'll always find a way to
get back in the race.

and NYC bound



couldn't leave california
without doing a bit
of tie dye with

sorry for

my absence



i've been on
vacation from

days of summer in
san francisco



baking
reading
thinking

my nyc neuroses
retreating with each tide.

this is a fascinating film.



artist, vik muniz
& the brasilian pickers
of the largest landfill in the
world, jardim gramacho,
dispell the stigma
of garbage.



my faith in
the transformative
power of art has
been restored.

emptied







tapped-out



working in the creative
field can be so demanding
for design is quite personal
...an extension of yourself.



for me,
it's hard to separate
work from life



the blurring of
the lines is beautiful
but sometimes it can
be quite taxing



you never know
when to stop.



step away.



refuel.




maybe i'm
experiencing
pre-vacation
exhaustion.

genius child

This is a song for the genius child.
Sing it softly, for the song is wild.
Sing it softly as ever you can -
Lest the song get out of hand.

Nobody loves a genius child.

Can you love an eagle,
Tame or wild?
Can you love an eagle,
Wild or tame?
Can you love a monster
Of frightening name?

Nobody loves a genius child.

Kill him - and let his soul run wild.

Langston Hughes
