These pieces are small aspects that I painted within the large bathroom mural in school. They are very bright and colorful, much like the graffiti art found in Brazil and other parts of the world. From the images I’ve seen of Brazilian graffiti, it is typical very abstract and surreal which is similar to a […]

Job 1: Palestine is an area composed in the Mediterranean region. It includes areas of modern Israel and the territories of Gaza strip, as well as the West Bank. Part of the region is known as The Holy Land which is sacred among Christians, Jews, and Muslims. This particular region has been under conflict since […]

Job (Nathan) 1.) Artificial sweeteners were invented to try and “fix” the obesity problem in the world. They intended it to be a safe replacement for sugar but in the end Sucralose, aspartame, and Splenda are just as bad maybe even worse for you than natural or real sugar. They are both considered toxins and […]

This image is a photo I took at the Grand Tetons in middle school. It’s a super old photo but it’s one of my favorites because it’s so beautiful. I selected in mainly because I knew it would fit perfectly with the wave filter on Prisma and turn out to be an exquisite image. I […]

Creating my mandala-yantra hybrid was quite more tedious than I expected. However it was a good experience for character building. Symmetry has always been one of my biggest weaknesses so I avoided tracing anything, but I did enjoy the practice. I’ve had prior experiences with small scale mandalas similar to this, but I really put […]

For my meal, I prepared a super radical dish I make frequently, shrimp stir fry. It’s made from several fried veggies such as green/red/yellow peppers, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, sugar snap peas, & spinach. The shrimp is marinated in Italian vinaigrette, soy sauce, and garlic. Occasionally I throw in my homemade teriyaki sauce and place it […]

October 21st, 2015 Today I rolled up, on my camel of course, in the repulsive nation known as “Big Walnut”. Even the name sounds filthy. The first thing I observed was a multifarious amount of women. BEING EDUCATED. With a man’s knowledge none the least. These women even had the audacity to show their skin, […]

I interviewed my ‘significant other’ Jeremiah, on the subject of Islam. For the most part, he was pretty educated on the subject with a few shortcomings. It was interesting to hear, because I hadn’t previously known about this knowledge and I was glad to here this perspective. For the most part as of now, we […]

Alright so pathetically mundane fact: I actually own like 12 cats. But I’m not even the slightest ashamed so I guess that’s a bonus. As you can imagine, a lot of cat’s means a lot of food. Which not only is time consuming, but expensive and frankly quite annoying. Consistently I obtain copious amounts of […]

During my Daoist journey, I experienced an overwhelming sense of healing and comfort. Prior to the walk I had been experiencing a quite obnoxious headache, but throughout my walk I could sort of feel it dissipating. The calmness was really beneficial to my current mental state I guess. I have been on areas of this […]
