Those who live are those who fight.

iPhone addictions

Most people these days have an unhealthy addiction to their cell phones these days (myself included as I write this post). Technology has advanced so much in the past 20 years, I can't imagine where we are headed. It's amazing...

CrossFit 914

This is a spot I frequent at least 3 to 4x week (CrossFit 914). Nourishing, stress relieving, rewarding and motivating; i don't even remember what life was like before it anymore.

little guy

this little guy is nearly impossible to get to sit still without a tranquilizer dart, (don't worry I didn't use it to sketch these), but I finally got him to semi sit still for a minute or two at a time. even in his sleep he moves around a bunch. he is great practice to just move as fast as my hand and eyes can go to get something down. our pitbull Mika is a lot more relaxed, she just chills and sleeps most of the time, but Miles here is the opposite. all in all, our dogs are awesome, and we are blessed to have them as companionship.

a video of my skydiving excursions... so much fun. might take a minute to load, the video is worth it though -

doodle updated

scuffed, beaten up and bruised, my man here did some things he ain't proud of, but when push comes to shove, sometimes you can help making a split decision in a catch 22.

sketchbook doodle

just s sketch in my sketchbook, my pen exploded and this is what came out of it, I love art accidents.

character update

a character from my sketchbook I started to work on in the computer using my wacom. will post more as I get it more resolved. you can see more views of it prior to this stage at my flickr page - http://www.flickr.com/photos/bigawk/

painting I finished showing the craziness of people sometimes, and how interesting they can be when they are left to their own imagination. we all can learn by knocking our "adult" walls down and becoming childlike and having fun.

Off to my cousin's wedding right now, been a great week so far since I was laid off, I must say i am much happier enjoying the opportunities that have presented themselves so far.

when things fall apart.....

Collapse, originally uploaded by wolfey.

this week got hectic, lots of craziness. traffic, work schedules all messed up, nyc was in flux as were peoples navigation patterns. pretty unusual when walls collapse rihgt after being deemed ok and safe. let's hope their are enough band aids in nyc to hold up the rest of the decaying walls.

As the winter is gone, I think back on the fun times riding this year and miss it somewhat, but at the same time am excited for the Spring (besides the allergies). I wonder if we are ever happy, being sick of the cold, or sick of sweating through all the clothes we put on in the dead of summer. Is there a place with a happy medium for all to enjoy both climates year around? If so, why doesn't everyone live there to be satisfied? Why am I not there? Anyone know where that special place is, and if so, hook me up.

testing and stuff

hey guys testing this, not sure if anyne hears me, but I am going to bed. trying to do art related stuff, move, and work FT is damaging to one's well being sooner or later. 11pm and all is well, going o walk the dog and relax with my lovely wife. cheers on this for finally working with my flickr, i am so ignorant on cpu stuff sometimes.
