demo derby and so much food

car explosions, demolition derby, crazy loud v8's, figure 8 races, and even fireworks! only in america would they not only pray at the beginning of an event, but sing both the american and canadian anthems! dad, i want to buy mom an alpaca.

my bride who loves andrew bird

i knew it was going to be the perfect day when i jumped in my car and the first song that came on was "the giant of illinois." the flowers and decorations were straight out of a bridal magazine! you two are an amazing couple, and it was an honor to share your day with your fabulous guests that hailed from 26 states and 3 different countries! your friends had such warm spirits, from the son of the seamstress to the bridesmaid with the jcrew misfortune, which everyone handled so gracefully. the food was beyond amazing, and i wish i could have that chai every day for the rest of my life!

i can cut intricate shapes out of vinyl free-hand in one go. i can take amazing photographs. i can sketch in sharpies and have my lines come out correctly as i put them down on the page (or plastic bottle, or any given surface). no pencils for me.

i was always the kid that could draw the line art bear in the newspaper that would garner you a grand prize. my dad and i were recently talking about my grade 11 art teacher that gave me a poor grade because he thought art came easy to me and he had assumed that i didn't put any effort into my painting because of it (jealous, much, mr. miata?). i can draw what i see, but i am hyperaware that i cannot create something from mid-air. when i sat down to design some a friend's logo, i figured i would be able to draw what i formed out of string on my lap; it proved more difficult than expected, so i took photographs of each letter i created. a special thank you to andrew's extra pack of star wars shoelaces.
