Artists Wanted

I tried my luck with Artists Wanted submissions about 2 years ago and didn't make the cut.

This time i'm hoping that will change!

I paid & submitted 15 images to www.artistswanted.org today and i hope that this time around i will at least win the people's choice if not the grand prize of living in New York rent free for 1 year. I really need everyones help on this one so if i could please get you guys to cast me a 5 star vote and email my artists wanted profile to friends & family to bring up my chances i would be one happy camper and forever greatful.

Even though i'm gonna,I really do hate sending out emails saying "vote for me! vote for me!" cause there are probably alot of you out there that aren't really feeling my work as much and that's fine but, i've been thinking about the east coast alot lately and how it might help my chances of becoming more noticed and help me land a job doing what i love so much. Bottom line is i need the masses on this one and i hope i can depend on a few of you to help JJC out.

Arbor

Jenni and I were searching out snowboards for this weekends Tahoe trip and found out that they are having a snowboard design contest.

I own a 2005 arbor formula 48 and i love what the Venice California based snowboard company is all about.

So, i went ahead and submitted a Photo design for a board. Arbor always shows the bamboo wood on their boards and also the trademark tree logo as well.

If you guys could help me out a bit and simply sign up for account here at REI and then click here for arbor's contest page and click here to view and vote for my submission.

First prize is the board with my artwork on it!!!

206

I'm sittin' here geekin' out on a saturday night rendering video files , editing photos ect..ect.. and i wanted to post a little something about a scene i have followed pretty religiously for the past few years. It must have been back in 05' i started finding all these insanely talented cats from Seattle on myspace. Now, i love east coast hip hop and the Cali has a grip of talent as well but, wow the northwest has a stronghold on the hip hop something crazy. I think i stumbled over Macklemore & Kublikai first then Symmetry & Ryan Lewis and after that it was one talented soul after another. So, basically i wanted to write this to drop some names, pay my respects and enlighten others who aren't aware of some of what the 206 has to offer.

I won't be posting any of my work in this entry, instead links to all the incredible people that i want my readers to check out. Here is The Fake Empire Video project Featuring Macklemore and many others, produced by Ryan Lewis 09'.

 And these next two short videos are from the making of  "The Town" by Macklemore

Produced by Zia Mohajerjasbi who has recently become my new favorite videographer.

 I really love sharing other peoples work thur my site and i hope you all enjoy me taking a break from posting my work for the sake of these hard working individuals.

They inspire me and i hope they do the same for you.

Here's some links to other Seattle folk that i dig.
