LIPDUB DREAMS

Well, it happened. Seabirds Truck decided to do a lipdub video and I couldn't be more ecstatic! Check it out! Believe!

YETI DID IT

Hello. This is Yeti blogging on behalf of my dear friend and roommate, Nicole. She is having a little car trouble and needs our help. Her exhaust is leaking and she's too stubborn to go get it checked out, so she's been talking about trading illustration and graphic design work for a new(ish.. or older) truck or car that can pull our home (the 1965 Aristocrat Lo-Liner travel trailer that we live in). I made this video to tell you all about it... Give it a watch and pass it on if you know someone that might need her services. Thanks, bye!


9.19.11 // perfectly normal

I'm home in Connecticut visiting my parents and friends right now. Being home is definitely a nice break from the independent woman-esque life I've been living in California. I rarely let myself relax in California. It's strange. I don't work that much, but I'm always striving to continually move forward on my creative quest. As a result, I don't give myself much downtime to just "be". I let myself unwind a bit on this trip. I watched television for the first time in I don't know how long, I baked a ton of cookies and I made this video while my parents were out of the house.. perfectly normal behavior for any 25 year old.



I've always liked making weird videos. Not weird-weird.. but off-beat/quirky. In high school I once acted out a paraphrased version of Macbeth in my bedroom using a camera that I borrowed in my video production class. I'm pretty sure that I'm wearing my pajamas in the video that my hair is all wet for some reason. Oh, and I think there may have been false teeth involved. I also recall deciding that it was a good idea to give the video to my 11th grade English teacher to watch. She rarely called on me in class after that.

...also, it should be noted that a line from the song used in the above video - "(I'm Gonna Be) 500 Miles" by The Proclaimers - is this blog's namesake. "And if I haver yeah I know I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you"... what does haver mean? Check out the top left portion of this blog to learn!

3.16.11 // !!!inner children united!!!

Ah! I haven't blogged in so long. A lot has happened here in California since my last post! I've been hanging out in my trailer, hanging out with friends, designing t-shirts for an up and coming t-shirt line, painting my car, Skyping with my parents back in Connecticut, working on a awesome vegan food truck called Seabirds, and spending way too much time at Whole Foods (I do a lot of my drawing and doodling there!)

My friends and I have also jumped into the creative deep end. We have so many fun and creative plans and projects in the works - it's really exciting! One such endeavor is an organization called Inner Children United. I've been impressed by organizations like Improv Everywhere and Newmindspace since first learning about them a few years back. They encourage the fun and spontaneous (two things that I can't live without) in everyday life. My friends and I wanted to start something similar here in Orange County, California... thus, Inner Children United was born.

Inner Children United is more than events and members.. it's a movement. It's about getting in touch with the kid that lives in each of us and allowing that kid to take front seat (even if they're under 12 years of age and it's illegal to do so by law... that might only be a law in Connecticut, so that joke might be lost to anyone outside of the state...)

We're working on building up our membership and planning some super exciting events. If you live in Southern California or will be in the area let me know! We'd love to have you in our group. We've also created an Inner Childred United Facebook page and Youtube channel. Why the Youtube page? ...Here's why...



My friend, former fellow Roadie and Inner Children United co-creator, Ray Ricafort created the beat and my friend, fellow Roadie and musician extraordinaire, Mariana Iglesias (aka Audrey & the Deer) took our photos. It was a wonderful collaboration/Roadie reunion! We consider this video a first step.. a launching point to spring off of. We have some big plans for the umbrella of Inner Children United - events, videos, and a public access show to boot. Stay tuned!
