THE BIG BLOG BY TRAVI$


I guess this is just the beginning of a really long trip… I know what Hunter meant about Fear and Loathing, I have been experiencing them both and at the same time these feelings are punctuated with highs that rival all my hopes and dreams… I have got to get this whole thing off the ground before I go fucking nuts…



I spent the beginning of my day in Los Feliz, at Fresh Pressed; a T-Shirt Place that can put out custom T’s the Silk Screen method etc… I hope later to meet up with them again and try and put together some samples for the gangster line, but right now I guess I will have to silk-screen them myself here at the house and create Kustom T’s like my Kustom Kicks, one at a time, by hand…. I am putting the graphics together and have already purchased fabrics to create the shirts,

After the trip by Fresh Pressed, I drove back towards the house, and went down Melrose, to check out the new boutiques, and the Art Galleries, I know it won’t be long until I am in the galleries and shops, I just have to make a Brand and them sell the world (but first celebs, and inside Hollywood-LA crowd types), then I can start to really make a difference for Art in the World. I whizzed by the shops and the Galleries, there are a ton of new places down that way, and some of my favorites have all been replaced by new shops that have taken over the market with their new brands…. Affliction, Ed Hardy, and the like have Consumed Teenage Millionaire, and Von Dutch, I guess that most places survive on the current trends …. Figures the whole US has ADD, or ADHD, or some kind of Drugs… You almost have to self-medicate to deal with daily b.s.

LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT hahaha.



After the shops and galleries, I headed to the fabric store, and home to finish up some Artwork, and then try and prep up for this T-Shirt Making extravaganza… I guess the whole thing is going to be a fucking blast… I have always wanted to do this, so here goes I guess…

On an entirely different note, I hope My Monday goes as planned, a huge piece of my Heart is tied up in a project that is going to get its start that afternoon… just a beginning hopefully a huge beginning to a whole other chapter in this crazy life I have decided to travel…

I guess I will eventually be happy…with what I am doing, with my life…

So I am sitting here hammering this out and thinking about all this time that I have wasted with my life… or was it all prep for the rest of the challenges life is going to throw at me like it does everyone else out there, I am not stupid, I realize life is hard… I guess that you just have to keep pushing forward toward your dreams…My Dream is to be a great artist, and to share my art with the World.

I was always fascinated with art and the fact that I could replicate and duplicate, and could immitate the guys that I thought were so good, Like MC ESCHER, this guy was amazing… These are a few preliminary sketches I did for a project in high school, I guess I was a freshman, Sophromore, or so… Eventually I painted a series of Escher Images on My wall in my room, I will scan in the picture eventually and I’ll post it up here, so you can see for now check this out.

I had other dreams, too, I was talking with my sister, and she said that she always wanted to be an actor, I guess I really wanted to be an artist all along, but I just kept doing other things for other people, and never really completely went all out to pursue my dreams, I just took gigs, and tried to make sure that I had a back-up plan, but at what cost? I wasn’t ever really happy, and I guess I needed to deal with all of that myself… OH WELL.

NOW, with that being said, I AM HAPPY NOW… More happy about what I have going on in my life than ever before… but that doesn’t mean that I don’t worry about stuff, hell I need to have some paintings bid on and sell on eBay, I need to have people buy Paintings off my site, I need people to buy my clothing off the net or out of a boutique… But that all comes with time, and I just have to keep exploring this creative energy that I have to make a living and hope that other people also get excited about all of the things I make too.

I will post some pics on here of the clothes when I get them done

PEACE
