Here is my pick for books you must have in your library if you want to be creative and inspired in 2010. They range from design, poetry, fashion, & Music. The books are filled with visual pictures and ingenious content and some of the authors you maybe familiar with but a few are newbies.

So the New Year is slowly approaching and so many people are starting to do what we call “get themselves together”. I am one of them. I desire to enter into another year of my life more examined, moral, in tune to God, nature, and others. I pray my acts line with the wish.

2009 was a heck of the year. So much has happened in just 300 and something days(i forget exactly the days with leap years count and what not). Anywhoo, JibJab decided to take us back, more like “through” these last 12 months that were full of surprises, epidemics, achievements, celebrity drama and plan out craziness […]

I am starting a new blog right here. What is it exactly? Well I’m glad you asked. Its a chronicle of my day to day teaching experience as a college professor and educator to formerly incarcerated youth and adults. I felt that Ive let years go by without fully reflecting and living through the experience: […]

I’ve never been a fan of Bape. For one its just too expensive and for two their line designs just seem to busy, trendy, and youthful for me. However their new spring 2010 lookbook has Kanye West profiling and it has me having second thoughts.  They would have to still lower the price for me […]

Sam Ilbey is an illustrator based out of London. His work is quite vivid and I love the way he depicts pop culture icons and characters. His illustrations have appeared in numerous publications, both on and offline all over the globe, from magazines such as Computer Arts and Official Playstation Magazine, to several books, exhibitions, […]

I love people: normal, extraordinary, plain, and eccentric people. I believe all of our lives are uniquely different and I am intrigued and inspired by people from all walks of life. (Remember this post). So when I came upon THESELBY.COM, I became hooked!!!! Simply the site features photographs, paintings and videos by Todd Selby of […]

Well this past weekend it snowed. While my previous home of DC/Baltimore got a blizzard and up to 13 inches of snow, new york tried to catch up. I heard that those areas are shut down today, schools are out and even the federal govt is relaxing.
Well in NYC, snow is like any other thing […]

New York City is filled with people: artists, famous cats, interesting souls, and my favorite: ordinary people. NY Times is doing a tribute to those ordinary people called One in 8 Million. Its a chronicle in audio and pictures of the ordinary people that make up New York City: from a sneaker collector to a […]

I issued a challenged to myself the other day. More like a artistic habit: record a guitar sample everyday for 7 days. Below is what took place for the last 2 days. I believe that its easy to get distracted and leave our creativity at the door. But Im also realizing, not matter whats going […]

Artists comes in so many different shapes and sizes. Young Beijing based artist, Liu Bolin, is a unique one. Instead of painting the art, he paints himself as the art with an emphasis on blended in with his environment. This is artistic camouflage to the highest degree. This is not trick photography, Liu is just […]

Tonight, 12/10/09 at 7:00pm, my favorite writer Malcolm Gladwell will be doing a reading/discussion at the barnes and noble in Union Square. His new book “what the dog saw” is a collection of his new yorker articles now available in stores. It is bound to be awesome. Get there early because the seats fill quick.

I rarely walk the streets before 8am, but I’m coming to realize the mornings are so beautiful. And brooklyn is so beautiful and starting the day early can bring beauty through out your whole day.
