Day 6 (January 6th)

Had a more chill day after working this morning. I also got the idea for this picture when I was first creating my new book of ideas. This is my dad's Chevy Malibu, and some day it will be my car. I always loved taking rides in this car with the family.

Day 5 (January 5th)

I got this idea last year when I was thinking of new photo ideas for this project. I was stoked to have my buddy Brendan Brown help me make this photograph possible. He was one of the people that originally got me really hyped on skateboarding, and 8 years later we are still out having a good time! This photo is a shot of the Rocklin skatepark with Brendan skating around with a sparkler to trace his movement around the park at night.

Day 4 (January 4th)

Got to see a lot of old friends today! I shot some photos with my Hasselblad 500 c/m of my friend Megan on this old bridge piece.

Day 3 (January 3rd)

Sense in 2011's 365 I only shot digital, I really wanted to switch up this year, so I shot and Impossible Project Polaroid for today. I am looking forward to shooting lots of film for this project and giving you a little bit of every thing I shoot! This is a photo of my tree on top of the hill, this tree has inspired lots of different shots, but this might be one of its final pictures.

Day 2 (January 2nd)

This is my banana in a rubber a mock of Andy Warhol and his banana painting. This is my fuck you to the Warhol Factory and the fact of them making art with out Andy putting a self touch to every piece of work that had is name on it. They made Warhol's name to be more of a company not just a artist. I believe for it to be your art you have to do something to make it possible. I still enjoy his art, but fuck their politics around it.

Day 1 (January 1st)

Happy new year every one. Today is the start of my 2nd 365 project. I am already regretting doing this project again, but I want to push myself to create better art and to give you guys my art. For my first picture I am going along the same theme as the first 365 of doing a self-portrait. I decided to do a silhouette of myself for the start of this year to commemorate one of my favorite artists Charmaine Olivia.

The 2nd Year 2013

To Friends and Family,

I will be coming back next year with round 2 of doing the 365 project. I am really excited and hoping to make it a more exciting year than the last. After leaving art school this year, I am looking forward to traveling more, creating more, and doing crazier projects than before. I can’t wait to start this project for a 2nd time and show you more and better work of mine. 2013 should be a great year and I can’t wait to see you all then.

Thank you so much for all your support!
