Here is to the best years of my life. Graduation has been the most bittersweet moment of my life. People say your graduating into bigger and better things but I think I want to hold onto these years a little longer. I’ll never forget the nights when Dj Carma threw down, karaoke tuesdays, thirsty thursdays, happy hour crawls on friday, mariachi bands and tequila shots, floating chip bowls in baby pools, slip and slides, natty daddys, 326, and all my friends I have made and grown closer with have sculpted my life and have made me the person I am today. Thank you and I love you all!

Chase and I’s dear friend Keith cooked us one of the most amazing meals I have ever eaten the other day. Before attending Kutztown University Keith went to culinary school, so not only did Chase and I get an amazing meal out of Keith’s visit but Chase got to pick up a few tips and tricks! I wasn’t filled in on the making of this dinner but what I do know is that it was chicken thighs (cooked to perfection), whole grains with asparagus and this bangarang of a sauce! Love Cutie Keith, thanks for the dinner!! 

Needless to say its awesome to have friends that look like models! With Rachel’s previous cheerleading skills she has some killer moves and legs!

Needless to say its awesome to have friends that look like models! This spicy meatball was fun to work with and added that extra little spice!

I love bicycles- vintage schwinns are my favorite (duh!). But today I happened to stumble upon these beautiful bicycles…

These are bicycle taxis used in Kenya. These Kenyan Bike Taxis also known as boda-boda. The designs are unique, equipped with an extra large passenger seat and a hand-pumped radio. Not to forget the bright colours that hypnotize you to take a ride. Photographed by James Mollison for Colors Magazine

Info On Kenyan Bicycle Taxis :

Kisumu’s bike taxi commuters can now cross town for half the price of a matatu ride, and they usually arrive at their destinations faster because the bicycles, known as “boda bodas,” maneuver through traffic more easily. The bikes also bring environmental benefits, including cleaner air and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. And bicycle taxis offer a means of income for a larger share of the population, compared with the more capital-intensive and gasoline-dependent matatus.
But as bicycles bring greater prosperity to their owners, local matatu businesses are struggling. Some drivers have attempted to survive by courting a niche market of people traveling to Nairobi; others have decided to sell their vehicles and buy their own bicycles. The bikes do have drawbacks, however: many cyclists are hit and killed by reckless motorists. Bike taxis also favor the strong and able, as cyclists rely on their own power to transport several times their body weight.
Interest in bicycle transport is growing across Africa as companies seek to design high-quality yet affordable bikes, and as government policies promote their use. In Ghana, bike sales now stand at about 30 per 1,000 people, roughly 50 percent higher than in China, a much wealthier country. But China remains the world’s largest bicycle producer, accounting for some 58 percent of the world total. Worldwide, bike production has grown steadily in recent years, with more than 100 million units manufactured annually.

Art Director of the Day- John Hagerty. Le Monye College graduate who later attended VCU Brandcenter has worked for some of the best and top named Ad agencies! Saatchi and Saatchi, Ogilvy, and McKinney. These Sherwin-Williams ADs are some of my favorite that are out there right now. The creative team covered all the basis of great design while implementing all the basis of an integrated AD campaign- Video, Print, Web Banners, Downloads, and even a contest. Taking a not so interesting client (house paint) and making a beautiful, whimsical advertising campaign that attracts all viewers! Check out all the Integrated Ads HERE to see more work for the Sherwin-Williams client.

These Print Ads were designed and crafted by Matthew Sporzynski. This guy is incredible! He went to parsons and creates these amazing paper sculptures (and in this case he used Sherwin-Williams paint chips!). He works a lot with Real Simple magazine, if you haven’t noticed before they have a ton of paper sculptures and models through out the entire magazine.

Check out more work but AD agency McKinney!

Enjoy! Beautiful advertisement (for what I think is the under dog in the phone world). T-mobile created this beautiful flash mob/acapella/musical commercial that happened in an airport. This was not staged, the people had no idea what was going on, and there were no instruments used. Not going to lie, I teared up and got some major chills for how amazing this was! Enjoy 3 minutes of pure bliss!
