sky light/ night life

Starting up with a new computer and some new pics.....two month gap, so there is a lot to share!

Kite festival- the largest Octopus kite debut (maybe in the world or something?)

Days of skating 

The harvest was bountiful this year- the ability to grow A LOT of food in your backyard is always an inspiration for my general life. The whole seed-plant-food process makes you examine life on a holistic vibe. 

Radish seeds (above) are a hybrid from my Dad's yellow turnip and purple stripped radishes. This is the first time growing them out to seed-- which I have a lot of -thanks to the amazing seed creating abilities of this particular gem of a plant! Let me know if you would like some seeds--I have many to give away. They taste great and are really pretty. I believe that they would also work in a cold-frame type thing for my fellow four-season growers.

These wondrous beauties are Red Runner beans A.K.A Magic Beans. They have really delicate, bright red blossoms that morph into huge bean pods with purple/fuchsia beans. Awesome. I have a garden idea planned out for the future that will focus on only psychedelic looking plants/flowers. Think of passion flowers, red runner beans, stripped purple carrots, bright yellow beets......

more to come..

Rough scans, scams and transteleportation

Still living in Oakland, making art and taking pictures. I have my first ever gallery-ish show coming up and I am both bewildered and excited.  Here are some recent shots from around my hood, scanned in kinda rough.

The neighborhood is getting more familiar and I am now caught up in a job and house stuff. It's nice, but still working at a cafe that is all-too familiar in the city-hipster way.

Still craving a change though- the cities all start to look familiar over time. It's true, Oakland is fucking rad to hang out in. Sunny, sunny sunshine all the time.

Contemplating a move to the SE and start my free-school. Back to the mountains and the lush-greenness of the rolling hills. The cautious, grand feeling of evolving projects and plans into workable life-goals that make me happy and alive feeling. These are all things that are starting to formulate, spin and come together. Oakland is wonderful in the way of progressing my art, health and mind- but it's not a place that I could imagine spending my time here permanent style.

Hazy futures become reality but realness, what's here is now- that's the true shit.
