overrated

formerly known as "i make pretty pictures" because as a graphic designer, that is actually what some people think i do for a living, this blog will now be titled, "overrated" for a variety of reasons i do not feel like explaining. the focus will be somewhat eclectic, though sports, design, the arts and pop culture will be featured more and more. because these are the things that interest me.

kingston rep-ruh-zent

being a (for the most part) good kingston boy, its good to see someone doing something interesting, funny and prosperous. course, i hated queens students (ok, maybe a handful snuck under that radar), and these people probably aren't from kingston anyway. oh well, i still throw out to ghetto tees.

just awesome

i am such a sucker for good photography. plus, this guy is doing what i wanted to do this year. a photo a day for a whole year. the difference between us? you can see his attempt here. my attempt, uh, nowhere to be found.

this shot always reminds me of a living room from a 70's newly built suburban home. the colours, the cheesy curtain fabric, the brown and gold striped couch. then i remember this photo was taken at my parents house in 2003.
