Wedding Gift

This is the wedding gift I made them....


I apologize for the poor quality of the photographs. We were originally going to
take our Canon with us, but Jose decided last minute, that it wasn't a good idea
because we would be walking everywhere, and we were unfamiliar with the area.

Last week I went to Texas for my old best friends wedding. 
We had been best friends since we were five years old, but lost 
touch after we graduated high school. Almost a year ago we reconnected,
and I'm soooo glad. I missed a few huge moments in her life, which I'm 
sad about, but I'm back! I feel so lucky to have been able to watch her 
marry her new best friend Drew.

Update

I've been busy as a bee with a little project I can't quite share just yet.
On an un-art related note, I've been working with Brother Science.
On March 15th, we went and shot the beginnings of an EPK (electronic Press Kit)
for Zoom B. Here are some production shots.
That's Bianca, she's a part of the production company. It was a long shoot, but she was a trooper
and we had a blast! She also took all the production shots.









Eddika Organista (triangle, vocals) interview segment. Which we actually have to reshoot :/


Oscar (guitar) interview segment. We have to reshoot his as well. :/ :/

We have also been doing some live streaming with Dulce de Leche.
We've only done two sessions (one song each), but it's pretty amazing
because we were able to play for people in Switzerland, Colorado,
and Thailand (Bryan, our missing member!). On Monday, we are 
putting together a small performance for one of our friends bands. 
This one will be a much bigger production (we had shot all past 
performances in our room). If you want to tune in, follow along
here, or here. We are unsure of the exact time it will be airing, 
but it will be somewhere between 830pm and 10pm.
Here are some screenshots of the performances Dulce de Leche did.






Playing live over the internet was super fun, I'm excited for monday,
and I can't wait until we get to play again :

Ben Blast

This month, I'm trying to take things slow. Well, slower than 
they have been lately. My goals for this month are 
1. plan my show in loose sketches. 
2. make my friend her wedding gift
    (she's getting married the first weekend of March).
3. finish tweaking my website.
4. start planning/drawing/painting an oil painting for charity.

Last month Brother Science shot a video for my brother's good friend Ben.


I think the video turned out great for the very tiny budget (gas money) we had. 
In person, Ben is really sweet and soft spoken. However, the minute he stepped
in front of the camera, he became this whole other person. It was pretty 
inspiring to watch. Anyway, enjoy!

Website launched!

I'm finally finished. My website took a little longer 
then I expected, but I'm so glad it's over (for the most part).
My friend Esau Rosales (the guy who takes most of the 
Dulce de Leche/Killsonic photographs) guided me through,
but I did 90% of the flash and photoshop work. I'm excited because 
that meansI can update everything myself! woohoo! I still have a bit more 
work to do (some of the larger images in the Gallery are fuzzy), 
I just need to take a break from computer work for a few days.
you can check it out if you want by clicking here. 


The Gallery was the most labor intensive part of the entire process.
