Nucleus house invited me to their group show: Cluster. They gave us all a wooden mushroom to paint. So naturally I had to make it hard for myself and cut it in half and hollow it out. It's pine which i thought was a soft wood but it took HOURS to cut it in half with a hand saw. and HOURS to carve out.

new yrs resolution was to see all the doctors before January was over because I haven't been to any in over 10 yrs and I did it! I went to a general practitioner, eye doctor, dentist, specialist for my boxing elbow injury where they told me to take advil twice a day for a month and wear this thing that applies slight pressure to some point on my elbow. It took like 3 or 4 months for this to heal. Also got a therapist. Boom baby. This was all after DAYS trying to learn and navigate the health insurance.

birthday, bob told mom i wanted fortnite v-bucks for some reason so now I have a bunch and the sad thing is this only buys a few skins.

leaving the park and this woman asks if this is my dog who was about to wander into the traffic circle off leash, we walked around looking for the owner and eventually I had to take it to our vet who scanned it's chip and called the number and the woman was at a conference in california and the dog walker lost the dog and the dog walker came and she was like this grizzly eastern european woman who didn't even say thanks and just took the dog like it ain't no thang and i text the owner saying all of this and you might want to get a new dog walker and heard nothing after the initial thank you so much. So this dog might be getting lost again and not be so lucky the next time. And it took like 3 hrs of my day thanks.

won a silver medal from the Society of Illustrators this year for my Black Student Illustrators Award art. To the right with his phone is Don Kilpatrick who won gold for his detroit paintings. You can also see some Milanese illustrators who the 5 of them won a silver for their project and we met another silver winner Kume Pathe from Toronto and Ryan came and won silver before so in our karaoke room we had 7 silver medal winners. We had too much fun and now we gotta go to Milan and hang out with the Milanese illustrators. Yoon is gonna be stationed in Milan for 3 years so Milan here we come.

also had several other projects in the show including my Rabbit Hole Distillery Alice in Wonderland bottles and my Criterion Collection art for Rouge.
