This past Saturday I finally had a free day, was up early and had some energy; a combination that doesn't happen all too often. So I figured, if I'm up this early, I may as well get some things done, like cutting the lawn for the first time in three weeks.

Go outside, take out the riding mower, drive onto the lawn singing "chitty chitty bang bang" and start cutting. I look behind me and notice the lawn is cutting seared low on side while the other is barely cut at all. Disengage the blade, drive back to the garage, pull out the push mower. I notice the push mower is a bit heavy and clunky, but I'm determined to get the job done.

Now my lawn has trees surrounding the entire perimeter; but they're small. So I had to maneuver this clunky mower around 15 or so arborvitaes (bushes). The icing on the cake was my front lawn, which has both trees and hills. So I pushed this heavy mower up the hills and around the trees. By the end of the job I was covered in sweat, exhausted, but proud of myself.

My dad stopped by right about when I had finished and packed everything away (oddly enough to cut the lawn).

"What are you doing son?"
"Oh, just got done cutting the lawn, did you know the riding mower is broken?"
"Haha, I just came here to do that. So, which mower did you use?"
"I just used the heaviest lawn mower ever, the big clunky one over there"
"Oh, did you use the self propel function on it?"

==============================================================

At this point I stopped, took a deep breath, and sat down for a minute. Contemplated what I had done that day and sighed. I justified it to myself by determining it was the best work out ever. So if you're looking for that total body work out to sculpt and tone those abs, while providing a full cardio workout; just stop by my house, I'll set you up with the self propelled mower and you can cut my lawn, but you can't use the actual self propel function. I'll only charge you for renting the equipment and gas; it's the deal of a lifetime.

Well if you read the comments, the secret is out on who the people are. Thanks for looking, and as a special treat for checking back here's anothe one.





This one should be easier to pick out who it is.

I made two more of these things, so I thought I'd upload them. The first should be pretty easy to figure out, you'll probably have to care more about bass than the weather report (clue) to know the second guy. Enjoy!






And the previous guy is Claudio, of Coheed and Cambria.

So I did a new graphics project. Lead singer of one my favorite bands, maybe one of you out there can tell who it is. Its done in illustrator, no filters, just plain old vectors. Thanks for looking.

Ok, so I got to thinking, why have a tent of only a couple of my friends at a Streetfest. I'm sure theres lots of people in Buffalo who have art that go to Streetfests already, that would be happy to sell art or prints. Many of these people probably can't afford it (or wouldn't want to out-of-pocket the cost for an entire booth for a test run), or maybe some don't have the quanitity to sell off tons of things at a street fest. Then I thought, I wonder if theres a place that joins a ton of Buffalo people and artists together that might be interested in this type of thing... oh right ESTRIP!!!

So here's what I propose: We do a short submission process of a bunch of whatever people would want to "sell" at a Streetfest (Artvoice, Music is Art, Allentown...). We get a tent. We set up. We have fun. It'd be like an estrip outting. Personally I think its an awesome idea. I'm really interested in making this happen, so anyone whose also interested please let me know.
