2012-01-20T07:27:00.000-08:00

Today's creative is dedicated to Sarah Burke, her friends and family, her husband. Yesterday we lost an incredible, strong, and important woman. What she has done for the world of free skiing is beyond and above all. May she be blessed and rest in peace. My condolences and sympathy.

17: Curnius, Laax

2012-01-15T12:09:00.000-08:00

The Curnius chair was rather quiet on this semi-overcast day we had in Laax a while ago. A day which turned out to be one of the best despite a run in with an unfortunate ruiner of stoke. We shook it off and moved on.

8: 2012

2012-01-05T05:01:00.000-08:00

That's right! This year I hope to stay creative and productive and have fun sharing what I enjoy doing with whoever wants to read and look at it. The goal is set at 300 blog posts of drawings, illustrations, photographs, doodles, whatever!

7: Self Portrait Test

2012-01-04T15:23:00.000-08:00

I wanted to shoot a self portrait tonight, I had an idea, but my flash gear was being very much against it all. I tried anyway, so I'll just call this a test and shoot the real stuff another time.

6: Happy Birthday Steppii

2012-01-03T23:11:00.000-08:00

Everybody think happy thoughts for her! Sadly I could not attend the party last night due to a shitty cough and cold, so instead I stayed home and did some drawing. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

5: Kiara

2012-01-03T04:33:00.000-08:00

I have a backlog of too much stuff, and considering I'm at home sick I figured it's a good time to catch up and post various things I couldn't get around to posting in 2011, all while getting a head start on my 2012 stuff! Did a few editorial style shots with my sister, Kiara, in a secret little spot.

1: iPhone Case

2012-01-01T03:22:00.000-08:00

Custom made iPhone 4 case for my sister Kiara. I tried many different cases, markers, sprays and adhesives for this and in the end, it still all came off in a few days of use. Got a plan though to make this Christmukkah gift come back to life again, and way cooler too!

Also, first post of 2012! Happy New Year to anyone looking at this / reading this ramble here. Last year I made it to roughly 244 post (out of the planned 365), which is 8 months of daily posting. New Years Resolution: crack 300! And stay creative.
