Suburbia.


Yeah, I know...I am a suck-ass blogger. I have been really busy working on various school-related things. The end of the quarter is upon us and it is nearing that ever-lovely crunch time. I have some other work to show...I have been in a class that is for the ONE show competition and we did a series of ads...I must say, I am pretty pleased with how they came out. I'll post once the deadline for entering passes. Here are some posters I did for a project on suburbia. It was a most challenging project because the most frequently asked question is "what about suburbia?" Yeah....what ABOUT it? After talking frequently with Tania who resides in a suburban area (Marietta, GA), I was finally able to figure out what angle I wanted to take. The thing that I cannot handle is this homogenization that developers enforce upon previously more eclectic neighborhoods. In lieu of diversity, cookie cutter McMansions are erected. All of this because we want MORE, BIGGER, BETTER live-in trophies. So, that is my concept. Here are the posters! Ridiculously enough, these are the first posters I have done with my own style of illustration. I don't know why I have had such a hard time bringing myself into my work, but I think it has paid off with these pieces.

I'm not sure you can blame the developers for the homogeny. They're simply providing what the market forces dictate. Most americans don't really have a concept of architecture and are satisfied with the blandness of the current aesthetic style of new homes. It's depressing.

Stepping off the soapbox. I would love to have a print of the third poster. Let Tania know how much the print cost would be if you don't mind me having one.

Long time lurker, thought I would say hello! I really dont post much but thanks for the good times I have here. Love this place..

When I was hurt in that automobile accident my life would be changed for good. Sadly that driver had no car insurance and I was going to be hurting for ever.

This was not time for me to start and guess what to do. I had to find a good attorney to help me get what I needed. After all, my family was counting on me.

How rotten was it? I has bedridden for 9 months, I had to have constant care and my medical bills went through the roof!

Luckily, I found a good referral site to help me.

I will post more later this week to tell you more about what I have been going through.

If you need an accident lawyer try the guys at

Hi Folks!

I wanted to share with you a very unique site I just came across teaching [url=http://www.kravmagabootcamp.com][b]Krav Maga[/b][/url] like they teach it in the Israeli Army (IDF) If you guys have seen the Tv Show called Fight Quest you would have seen their chief instructor Ran Nakash there featured on their [url=http://www.kravmagabootcamp.com][b]Krav Maga[/b][/url] episode. Anyways, let me know what you think. Is training via the internet something you would do?


cheers
