Start of the semester
Something I quickly put together for my typography class. It reflects just what it says, it’s calm.

Scrap work

I’m never doing what I’m suppose to be doing at the right time. I’m not drawing when I should be, working when I should be – I don’t follow instructions, haha. Damn, something like a fuck up. The one good thing about this community service is my doodles. When I’m bored, I try to find anything to draw or write on. When it doesn’t have any value I work best because the outcome isn’t important. Scrap paper, napkins, whatever it is. I guess value means it has to account for something. I don’t want to give it any meaning.
Best Desserts: Bizy Dream’n x The Lamp NYC
Just recently I’d been working on a flyer design for The Lamp, a non-profit organization creating a movement to reform and improve media, & Always Order Dessert for Best Desserts at Double Windsor Bar. On June 9th New York City’s hottest food bloggers go at it in a dessert contest before a panel of celebrity judges…and you!
I’d been putting it off for a couple of days, you know how I do. Nevertheless, I everything was as promised – they approved. Chilly. I was going for a retro diner look with the typography. I wanted it to be homey, tasteful. If you look at the design, I kinda stole from Jim Jarmusch’s, a memo to a friend, layout +post. I really enjoyed that friendly feeling I got from it and I just wanted to use it. I’m a little hype about this because exposure is exposure, good or bad, people will know of you. In this case, it’s definitely good exposure.
Support The Lamp, hope to see y’all there.

Video: Wiz Khalifa x Toads Place
I procrastinated creating a Vimeo account, which prevented me from publishing this video. Anyway I decided to hit the Wiz Khalifa concert at Toads Place on York Street in New Haven. A few local artist hit the stage before Yelawolf opened for Mr. Khalifa man. Toads was packed like a regular Saturday night, except steady blunts and paper planes were being passed around. I managed to get the last song he performed on video despite the madness in the crowd.
Elements of Fashion
Remember when I said I was on the hunt for fashion show flyers +I was designing a layout for BSU.. Well this ended up to what I submitted. I hardly had any direction or specification on what should be included. The theme for the night is elements – Elements of Fashion – water, earth, wind +fire. I wasn’t satisfied with the top typography but I was pressed for time, and other things were happening at the same time.
Yep. That’s a glass alright
Look’n at it from all perspectives. A lot of people see it just as that [Yep. It's a glass alright] and because it doesn’t effect them directly it’s not a social problem, in which that is true. One man’s solution is another man’s problem. But when we stop caring we lose our humanity. All I’m say’n is at least be aware and have a take on it.
Keep It Surreal approves. “There’s a funny [relief] tee in here somewhere..” #KanyeShrug
NEC Finals: QU Bobcats x R. Morris
I can’t even express how tight I am. We was suppose to win that game! James Feldeine was going off, the stroke was look’n good for the night [pause], but it wasn’t enough. Rutty, J. Johnson, Twyman – everybody came out to get that NCAA bid. Even the student’s was out there front lining. The student section was more packed than it ever been. I don’t know if I would’ve been more upset if they won and I couldn’t rush the court with the student body or the fact we lost our first home game in the finals. Watch’n Robert Morris players rush the court at the end had me heated. I don’t know what happened in the end though man..
Let’s get it next season fellas!!!

I’m still play’n around with this tilt shift photography, bare with me. This dude, haha, wasn’t suppose to be in this shot but it happens to look good. We was all over the Lower x Soho look’n at the other designs out there, talk’n about our projects and jus kick’n it.
Y’all will be see’n more of this dude with some exclusive sneaker reviews, you heard it here. SneakerSoleTv!

I was in the Lower today with some of my cohorts, good times. I was mess’n around with the tripod at Jay’s crib for a little when I took this photo. On top of that, I want to learn to play the piano; I’m going to mess around with the synthesizer next. Making beats, who knows? I haven’t used one, but why not try it. Enjoi!
BIZY DREAM’N
What’s happen’n y’all? I’ve neglected my audience, we’ve neglected our audience. School’s been killing me so much that I’ve kinda let our direction veer a little off-track. As a result, I decided to put everything on hold for a little while to start back in March. We still have a few loose end to knot up, but we’ll be going through it while still keeping up to date with the happen’n.
Also, I’ve been restructuring Bizy Dreaming, now Bizy Dream’n. A lot lately has been about change and about research. Before, I think Bizy Dreaming was too stiff. Where’s my personality in that? The simple change is due to how I text. I truncate my -ing’s, not by much, with -’n. Here it goes. I hope y’all feel this one.
Graphic Design: Bizy Dreaming logo (revived)
I’ve been working on my resume to try to get everything back in order. Your resume is a reflection of you and I was looking really lazy and not capable of taking on any jobs. The original Bizy Dreaming logo didn’t last for long with me, I guess it wasn’t that good of a logo. As I was working on my resume I really wanted to add a piece of me in there and Bizy Dreaming is something I conceived, I toiled and try to endure, so I changed the logo from something stiff to something with more character. Y’all like?
Check out the old logo after the jump.

What my current magazine collection is looking like. I’m just collecting everything. I need more!
Gett’n Messy
Still work’n guys… I don’t want to ruin the surprise, y’all better like it or at least kill me with your honesty! “He’s better only cause he had better positioning.” I’ma change my position and eat the competition (and no I did not intend to rhyme). It was NICEEE though, right?

Blakout!
Blakout! – Chad Harris
A little something I ended up work’n on today. This wasn’t the concept I visualized, started with, or even thought to go in this direction, however I began to stick with me as I was work’n on some Clean Mess stuff. Clean Mess? I’ll save that for another article. I digress, nevertheless, the abstract subtleties are specifically placed but they look completely random. I still need to add more work to this project – look out for it.

Worker’s Comp.
I work at Brooklyn warehouse when I’m home for the semester breaks – every morning me and mass of other men wait to be called for work. Every morning 6:30 am. You could even say it’s an example of institutionalization. I see this every morning.

Ehh, the composition on these photos could have been better, nevertheless, I like the way they came out. RAW!

I thought about Starin’ Through my Rear View by Tupac as I looked at this photo. (Lyrics after the jump)
Brief: TEN:15
HOW DID IT START: a small group of people looking for an artistic diversion in the morning.
WHY?: We thought it would be interesting to see what one minute in time looks like in different places. A collection of life, work + play that revolves around 10:15 am.
It’s provided us with an opportunity to take a step back and look at our surroundings differently. Plus it’s always fun to see what other people are doing.
JOIN THE EXPERIMENT: If you have a camera phone or camera on you at 10:15 am, take a photo that shows a random glimpse of your life at that moment and email it in. Include your name, the location, a title for your photo and your website link (if you have one). Thanks for playing!
