Pepper Spraying Cop...my collage.

Everyone is doing it...I wanted to make one too.

Weekend Projects

A few weeks ago I started to get some freelance work outside my apartment. Somehow, doing work during the week makes me want to do domestic things on the weekend. Now, I have a sort of rule that weekends are only for house projects/exercise/relaxing and weekdays are for work, looking for work, etc. Hopefully with the separation of time I will get more things accomplished instead of feeling overwhelmed and doing nothing but watch hulu marathons.

Here is a shelf I cut to fit with a small hand saw. I nailed a block of the sawed off wood into the wall as a ledge.

Using the ledge idea I cut a canvas a stretcher in two and nailed them to the cabinet sides. The board was already cut the correct size.

This shelf has been up since summer, but I hung a mirror underneath. It pointed more downward before I added a screw at the bottom to balance it.

My big project this weekend was cutting and installing a keyboard tray to my writing desk. I had to hammer out the drawer holders. I plan to attach the drawer faces to the tray as a facade...next weekend.

This is my latest work. I drew the 2D character animation on a commercial for Flips cereal. Produced by Dancing Diablo.

Weekend stuff

I'm following a tutorial from This Old House. I really hope this project turns out right. So far I'm on step 3 of a 6 step process. Using the joint compound I found in the hallway, I'm doing the labor of fixing the bathroom ceiling myself because I'm months behind on rent. I really hope my landlord appreciates the gesture.

Before starting the ceiling project...

I handed out tangerines to NYC Marathon runners.

The day before...I took a mile run around Marcus Garvey Park with a friend. Then made tasty egg and avocado sandwiches.

Earlier this week...
I purchased this cintiq from ebay. However, it came with a serial port and another archaic cord for which I needed an adapter.

I went in search of cables but only found Celebrity Apprentice cast members, Arsenio Hall and Dee Snider. Pictures soon...
