2019 The Year In Review - Part Two

I had perfectly good mermaid torsos from a project pitch that i'm contractually not allow to show the world ever so I wanted to use them somehow cuz i worked a long time on them with little sleep so later on I did this summer archers series inspired by vintage photos of celebs like Marylin Monroe on the beach doing archery.

finally got that easel from foo's house and yes it's still in the corner not used as of 2/13/19

better designed zoo habitats make for healthier, smarter animals that are also better at escaping. for medium.com

we actually use the instant pot a lot. 

had to take a photo of my workspace. a few yrs ago Chris Chieco hooked me up with a maxed out mac mini and super expensive 30 inch NEC monitor and i got a cheaper 4k 24 inch side monitor.

twitter, for 01net magazine in Paris

The sungold cherry tomatoes and scallions and misome greens were the year huge producers. 

saw a few games at the sports pub on the corner cuz england made it far in the world cup in 2018

the almost 1 pound Cherokee purple heirloom big boy.

cover art for Akira's album.

Connecticut fun times at Jill and Derek's 

insane rocky and illegal bike trip with Derek.

trail blazing hiking where no human has gone before, making it to Sharon town beach.

the black stallion got a radio upgrade with bluetooth so we can stop using inadequate portable speakers.

went to Bethany Beach and stayed at the old Horne cottage.

first yr hops plants spend their time setting down roots and not making hops.

harvest fest at raishland yielded 48 gallons of cider which about 33 gallons of it were made into hard cider in 8 different varieties. It also yielded good times.

a letter my mom found.

in order to all grain brew without dying i got this food grade heat stick 1650 watt heating thing to supplement the gas stove and it works like a charm. All grain brewing is also signifigantly cheaper than extract brewing so as of 2/13/19 we are on batch 14 of total beer brews.

thanksgiving in VA with the entire Yoo fam.

my art on Collective Arts beer cans.

got the meat grinder attachment so i could finally make those bespoke nuggs i've been talking about and they were delicious and nuggs posts are the most engaged with posts because everyone has a little nugget freak inside of them.

the best thing of 2018 was that Jen graduated from her 1 yr graphic design course at Shillington. She was the top of her class. She worked through all the programs with lots of frustrations and fights and critiques to come out the other side with a great portfolio and the schools top pick. Fast forward to 2019 and she is working as a junior designer at La Mer (super super expensive cosmetics) and won the TDK design competition.

got and returned a 55 inch tv which is a thing cuz we've been watching a tiny tv all this time. got diff 55 in tv and thinking about sending it back cuz it kinda sucks.

xmas in canisteo 

year of the boar card, they nickname baby boars 'Melon Boy' in Japan.

ringing in the new year.

so 2019 may not have been the most exciting year because Jen was in school and not working and we are getting older and and i'm trying to work on my artwork. Let's see what 2019 holds in store. How's Jen's graphic design career going to go? What projects am i gonna work on? how will the garden go? Will we be able to afford to travel anywhere? Only time will tell and you'll see it here (eventually) on this here blog. Thanks for another year reader.
