well, hi there tumblr. You look... different.

Logging in for the first time in a long time was quite the scary experience. It’s been a couple of years, so maybe a lot has changed. Or maybe time has played some sort of game with my memories. But the way I remember tumblr, it used to be stylish. Beautiful, even. Well-composed. Artistic. Full of inspiration.

Now the login-form and the sign-up-page look like they were borrowed from Miley Cyrus’ social media. Or her live show. It’s flashy and trashy and so hip it makes my eyes hurt. Did something happen, or is my recollection distorted by the filter of time?

You tell me.

Regardless, I will give this another shot. My main purpose in reviving this old account is calligraphy. I have deviantart for my photography and forums for my writing, and I’ll give this a go to give words form on paper. We’ll see how it goes. I hope I learn to like it here again. Maybe I’ll rediscover some of the charm I used to adore about this place.

So, hi there tumblr. It’s been a long time. Let’s get reacquainted.

So I had some friends over this weekend and I had my Juno drawing open on my computer… SO NATURALLY, THEY DEFACED IT.

But since my friends are Cool Illustration Classmates from RISD, they couldn’t even do a manage to do a bad job.

New York New York - we love you.

When I was in New York two years ago I bought one souvenir at the U.N. headquarters, a little book called "Here is New York". I read it on the plane back and have loved it ever since.

"On any person who desires such queer prizes, New York will bestow the gift of loneliness and the gift of privacy.... No one should come to New York to live unless he is willing to be lucky."
