Bakk 2 the Knitty Gritty

Top Noodle

Lately, I've been doing a lot of thinking about what Humble Beginnings is/should be. I guess I'll just let it be what it is. Humble Beginnings. Constantly and consistently in a state of Beginning. Beginnings can mean a billion things and open a billion doors...This blog is about starting at the first floor, pushing every button on the elevator, enjoying the ride, and then blogging about the conversation, people, and whatever I happened to be doing/ eating while in that elevator. By the by, I am constantly on the elevator, except when I'm not. Everytime I jump back on, I begin again. Each post is a ride.

First off, I drew a cool dino dunking for my main man Aiden. His 8th birthday is coming up.
This is soon to be one heck of a t-shirt.

NEXT STOP! CLOUD 9!

some of you may remember an ad i did for Cloud 9 Organic Therapy..
 well, JB went undercover to check the scene..

 on my way to Cloud 9 to take some photos of  their shop
to get inspir8ion for the new pamphlet.. i came up on a Wonka tag.
Basically, I felt a little safer with the homie by my side.

now into the shop and first thing i see is a fountain..Something about fountains
you might want to know.. moving H2o produces negative ions.. negative ions
stimulate endorphin production.. and BAM! ur relaxed.. yup, just like that.

It looks so relaxing eh.. straight healing happening here son. lady steeze.

I don't even know what this chair is really all about. but it looks like relaxation
on a whole nudda level

well, at that point, i went home and started throwing some rough sketcharoonies

down to put together for ads.. etc..

I was also fortunate enough to spend more time in Umbrella Shirts helping them out
with the shirts for Greater Than AIDS Foundation. Here's some fresh baked tees right out
of the oven!

 slacks/denim combo? I'm tempted to say this is the mullet of
trousers, but hardly as stylish or sophisticated looking.
