This is what advertising should be…

I’ve saved these advertisements from a magazine for more than ten years.  To this day I still have no idea what they’re advertising, but I thought they were so hilarious that I kept them.

I like the dialectic of adult content with a childish theme.  They’re sort of like cute versions of the Garbage Pail Kids.

A dude with a moustache drives up in a van.  “Hey little boy, dragon, dinosaur <whatever> you want some candy?”

…”What kind of candy?”

Genius.

hahahahaha

Here’s another that’s fairly self evident.

Austin City Limits Festival – highlights 2011

Skyline near the middle of the festival

The crowd at Fleet Foxes. 

I was trying to capture the globe, but people kept walking by.

Finally!

The crowd at the Empire of the Sun show, from back stage at Google+.

 

Arcade Fire

The crowd leaving.

Friday – Gary Clark Jr. came away as the highlight

Saturday – Gillian Welch and Skrillex

Sunday – Fleet Foxes, Empire of the Sun, and Arcade Fire

 

Lots of fun.  It’s an exhausting trip everyday just to get to the festival grounds, but it’s worth it.

“Phomgrad” by my college roommates

 

Phomgrad

Adam Agati

Aaron Henry

Corey Beaulieu

Nick Falk

Chris Gagne

This is a recording of my friends and roommates playing a Chris Gagne original, “Phomgrad.” It’s best not to ask about the title. He has another song named “Squadro Cat.” Nuff said.

This is a great little piece of modern jazz, however.

I recorded this live to 2, in 2004.

musicians
Chris Gagne – ‘bone
Aaron Henry – effected tenor sax
Adam Agati – guitar
Corey Beaulieu – upright
Nick Falk – drums

5 years old sketch

This drawing I did when I was very young, maybe 17 or 18, reminds me of a hilarious advert. I can’t find the pic online, so I’m going to see if I saved it somewhere and take a pic myself. More later.

My work-space

Bless this mess.

 

 

A few things I’m working on. The long one that’s all trippy is called “Obama Lincoln,” and it’s long due to take it’s place at my friend Brian Hudson’s house on Poquito. It’s comin’ buddy, sorry.

And yes, that’s ice cream I’m eating for breakfast.

Don’t judge me.

Preferred drying method.
