WEAKERTHANS

Cardon i are going to see these guys in concert tonight. It's their reunion tour, so we are pretty lucky to get to go to this one. A little pre-halloween celebration, I can't wait. Hope to have pictures tomorrow.

FISH EYE ADVENTURES

Here are some pics we took with our fisheye camera. Most of the ones that turned out were from some little adventures in Brooklyn. There is a picture of part of Cardon's work desk and he and Dave working on the Stella's cowls. Doing a little body work. These two pics got divided a bit. But i still thought they were cool. Hope to have some more photos soon. Enjoy.

HELVETICA

Today the creatives at my work went to see this movie, Helvetica. It is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It was very inspiring, a perfect way to start the weekend.

I love the fall. And i love exploring all the parks and bridges out here in nyc. One thing i miss about back home is being able to hike up the canyon and clear my mind. We have to emprovize a little out here, but i like it.

Another internship for Cardon

Cardon was offered a paid internship with these two individuals, Tim Hsu and Rodrigo Corral. Both very talented and great to work with. Cardon is learning a lot and loving the experience. Plus, since he doesn't have time for both this internship and his Bella Muse internship, Bella Muse offered to pay him and have him work part-time as a designer because she doesn't want to loose him. Between these two gigs, a full-time school schedule and working at the skate shop, he doesn't have a lot of extra time for much else. Cardon spends every other spare minute of his free-time in the silk-screen lab and working on the scooter while hanging out with me of course. Don't you think Cardon's pretty awesome. I know i do.

on press

Cardon and i had a wonderful weekend exploring Brooklyn on the scooter and checking out some great shops. It was such an inspiring and enjoyable weekend. We took some pictures with our fisheye camera. I am hoping to have the film developed in a few days. Yesterday i was able to go on press for one of the jobs i have been designing for the past little while (3 accordian mailer books with a cross folder). It is so neat to be able to see your job print. And to be part of the process in matching color to the proofs, seeing the plates, etc. Plus, i love the smell of ink. I find the whole process so fascinating.

Have a good weekend

This is what i feel like doing this weekend. But we will actually probably work on a bunch of projects, which will be fun too. Hope you all have a great weekend.

Mates of State

I am so bummed i didn't realize that Mates of State had a free show last night. We totally missed it. We have been able to see them a few times out here and let me tell you they put on an amazing show.

Ode to Pyne Farms

I just wanted to take a second and say how thankful i am for being raised they way i was. I am so lucky to have a dad that was/is a fruit farmer (and a chemist actually). I can honestly say that i don't know anyone else who's dad was. Although it was and is a lot of hard work and labor entensive hours; i think it has benifited our family so much in teaching us hard work, perseveriance, patience and a love of the outdoors and everything living. Not to mention being able to run heavy equipment and have the best bonfires. Although it may sound silly i miss picking cherries and selling apples, especially this time of year. It is always an adventure at the Pyne home.

more havasu pics

Here are some more pics from our havasu trip. my favorite are cardon and kent creepin down the river. I wish i had pics of cliff jumping but i am still waiting for my fam to send me some. I think we are going camping this weekend and i can't wait.

silkscreens (12 x 18 in)

Here are a few silkscreen posters Cardon has produced this semester. Aren't they sweet.

good ward activities

We belong to a really wonderful ward out here in Queens. We have had some really fun activites over the summer that i was able to make up some fun, quick flyers for. It was really great to go on the camping trip. Although it was different from camping back home it was so much fun and the beach was absolutely beautiful. I will try and scrounge up some photos.

Havasu Pai trip with the Pyne family

I was just reminiscing about my families trip to havasu this past august. It was super fun. These are the only images i have on me, but i will post more later tonight.
