Movin' on Up

Today is my last day with Mandalay Baseball Properties, a company I have been involved with for the past seven years. I have learned almost everything I currently know through my work at this firm and I am very appreciative of all they have done for me.

Shortly, I will be starting with Schlegel Sports as their Creative Director. I am excited for this new opportunity and hope to start turning out some top-shelf stuff for all their teams very soon.

Daft Punk is Playing at my House

Sketched this while hanging out in the Inwood Theater lounge and waiting for the Daft Punk film Electroma to begin. Midnight movies at the Inwood rock, and are definitely one of the cooler features of living in Dallas. Local DJ Kieth P dropped a fantastic Daft-centric set and got everyone good and fired up for...a French art film.

Guess what? Daft Punk are French, and there's nothing the French like better than boring you to tears with vague "symbolism"and long stretches of silence. Although, the film had some cool moments and visual elements, moments doth not a movie make. I recommend the 13 minute remix which basically plays the whole movie on fast forward, and adds...wait for it...Daft Punk music!

He's No Use To Me Dead

Sketched this while watching The Empire Strikes Back last night. I think it's been over two years since I last saw this movie, and I finally have to agree with Dante from Kevin Smith's Clerks, Empire is the best film of the series. I can't think of another film that combines true comedy (not dark comedy, mind you) in a completely dramatic script. Brilliant.
