I spent my whole weekend working on homework, pulling all nighters, and drinking coffee.
I haven't had this much work yet in my College career and it really punched me right in the face. I tried my best to time how much work I did, and it was well over 15 hours of work.
I have done some pretty cool typography work and such, and I can't wait to post them in a few days (I don't wanna overload you guys with submissions)!
On some other cool news, I work at the library at GCU, and they asked me to design some flyers for some workshops that will be happening in the near future, so that was also a sweet opportunity for me.
After completing them, they told me that they want me to design a flyer/sticker/button design that they'll be putting up around campus and handing out to students to promote the grand opening of the new library location (3rd and 4th floor of the Student Union)
So if any of you cats go to GCU, look forward to some cool free swag designed by me!

Welcome to Week 1
2 min read
I'm all moved in again!
Back at Grand Canyon University!
It's been a great week and I'm stoked to be back on campus, living that dorm life, and going to classes to enhance my knowledge in the digital arts. My classes for this semester are Designing with Type, Web Design 1, Digital Photography 2, and Figure Drawing. I've already been loaded with homework and projects to kick start the first week but it should be awesome!
Dorm life is great, my roommates are pretty chill, and in my side of the room, we have a sweet setup. I've got a tv on the top shelf of my open closet so that I can play video games and watch netflix from the comfort of my own bed, and I've setup some of my favorite artists all over the wall, including some of my own personal work. The campus has been growing like crazy, and we added around 2,500 more students living on campus this year. We also got a Chick-fil-a, Subway, and the largest Starbucks in the nation added to our options of food, and besides the long lines, it's great.
In video game news, the new 2DS has been anounced, which I don't really know how to feel about, I'm not excited for it, and I probably will not purchase. BUT! I will be getting Pokemon X version, so ya'll who are gunna be on that Pokemon grind when it comes out in October, we gotta swap those friend codes and have some serious battles.
Also! Nintendo also announced that they will be dropping the price of the WiiU $50 and will be including a new Legend of Zelda WindWaker HD bundle when the game is released, and that will probably have to be a purchase that I will make.
AND what are my opinions on Ben Affleck being THE NEW BATMAN??!??!?!?
I don't really have any. I haven't seen his acting, so I will remain un-opinionated. Hopefully this Batman vs. Superman movie will be sweet.
Wanna check out some cool art to get your mind off of that horrid Miley Cyrus VMA twerk???

Summer has been crazy.
Super stoked for Hayao Miyazaki's new film, The Wind Rises. Here's a link if you haven't seen it, www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhHoCn…
After finishing my first year of college, and more specifically my very first class of Digital Photography, the professor of said class asked me to work for him over the summer. I guess he saw something in me. Gladly, I accepted because, I mean, who wouldn't?
It's been an amazing learning experience. I acted as his assistant photographer during all of his shoots (hauling equipment, helping set up lighting, test shots, etc.) I've learned more than I ever could in a classroom and it's been fantastic. A short blog post couldn't describe it.
I'm eagerly anticipating heading back to the university this week. I'm especially excited to start putting all that I've learned to practice this summer during my Digital Photography 2 class and I'm also excited to start learning more about Typography and the basics of Web Design.
Which means I'll be posting some more work up here soon for those who care, so there's that to look forward to.
What else to share!?
Lets see...
I've done a good amount of reading this summer and some recommended books are:
Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children - Ransom Riggs
Quarantine the Loners - Lex Thomas
The Program - Suzanne Young
Boneshaker - Cherie Priest
Caught up on my inner-asian-nerd as well and watched through about 5 different anime series this summer as well.
Super stoked for Hayao Miyazaki's new film, The Wind Rises. Here's a link if you haven't seen it, www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhHoCn…
My obsession for Street Art hasn't died either and I've been keeping my practice up, excited to start doing some work downtown when I move back in to my dorm. A cool stencil graffiti-artist I follow, check him out, iheartstencils.deviantart.com/
And with that I'll be off!

I'm taking Photography 1 this semester and I'm loving it!
So fair warning I'll probably be uploading a lot of my shots! Lemme know what you think.
Other than that I don't really have much else to say. Short and sweet.

It's finished!
Finals are done.
First semester is in the bag. I can honestly say that after venturing from high school to college, my hatred for finals has evolved into something beyond words. Luckily though, I think that I just might have pulled off straight A's.
Next semester should be better since I'll actually start doing classes for my major! Fundamentals of Design and Digital Photography. I can say I am excited. I'll hopefully be able to post more.
My goals for this break are to work on a few projects that I have seen and come to love! I'll put them up here if they turn out good.
I'm also heading over to Los Angeles after Christmas so that should be fun!
Happy Holidays to all.
