basically, this post will consist of me [the 'poster'] sending you [the 'poster child'] links to blog posts of some of my friends.
ok, so i guess it's more of a co-operative or mini-merger of sorts, but there isn't a song quote with those words...
-first up, over the weekend, four of the Auburn Abroad people came to visit us from Rome. shout out to Katie, Zach (happy birthday), Nicole, and Amy. and instead of boring you with my recount of the events, i'll let you see it all through the eyes of Katie via this link:

-next, sunday evening after the romans left, one of the Turkish students from studio, took me, Roppoli, and Chad to a Besiktas (pronounced besh-eek-tah-sh) soccer game. it was my first european futbol game...actually, it's the first soccer game i've ever attended. instead of boring you with my recount of the events, i'll let you see it the eyes of Chad...or rather the video camera of Chad via this link:

-next-- it has nothing to do with Rome or Istanbul-- Breezo has posted a video on his blog by fly.union called 'fat gold chain'. read his caption and then listen to the song...you can read my comment as well. you can see it via this link:

-and since i'm pretty sure that i have to be a part of this conglomerate in order for me to claim it.....
WATERCOLORS! WATERCOLORS! WATERCOLORS!
the best part is, you don't even have to go anywhere.
i've been gettin pretty good in my opinion. the last three i've done (the three featured here) were what i like to refer to as 'paint to paper', meaning that i didn't sketch anything out. i just put the paint to the paper and tried to make it happen. let me know if i was successful.
1st attempt at 'paint to paper' entitled "smoking kills" cus that is what the government requires it to be put on every box.
2nd attempt, entitled "fant-aliens". there was a fanta exhibit with some 2 foot tall characters that Chad named 'fant-aliens'...i had to watercolor them.
my latest. "nike uptempo scottie pippen edition"--Curren$y
....(anyone who knows me, knows i had to do shoes)
