What Have You Been Doing

[Zenta]

With no Tank Pit?

I been on some wild shit that I think even my snob friends on here can take interest in. Back when I graduated in 07, I immediately went to community college to pursue print making classes just to learn how to turn my graffiti into a product of sorts. Alot of students who took that also took ceramics, I didn't. Well to make a long story short I got kicked out of the class after numerous incidents with the teacher whom I did not get a long with. As that happened I switched over to Business courses and completed all e-commerce courses to become certified, I could work at a company in their e-commerce division now but I like being an entrepreneur. As some of you know I own a store on Amazon. Keepn it movn..

Anyway, in the midst of being good at print making and getting kicked out due to stupid shit such as the content of my art work, I remained in contact with dudes that respected me as a graffiti writer galaxies ahead of their grasp at that platform. They've thrown me work here and there for things like collaborations in pieces and recently one piece got in this international art magazine. In the next few weeks though, we are releasing a series that's already sold every piece of ceramic pottery i've touched with my paint. The main theme is "urban pottery" my friend molds shit you would find in cities covered in graffiti like a man hole lidded sewage pipe with a steel beam handle which is actually a pitcher, phone booths, random shit. He molds all the shit with clay and fires it, then I paint it to make look like a legitimate piece of urban grime that you'd find in NYC, philadelphia, detriot, pittsburgh etc. and I even got some friends from nyc and phila to throw there work on it. I have been getting requests left and right for this shit, which I consider corny and stupid. But I'll take painting ceramic pots on the side while I run my Amazon store any day over not doing a hobby I love for a paycheck. We plan on having our first art studio show in the upcoming weeks toward christmas.

I just kinda thought about it cause I been putting doing this shit for weeks, like I've had the fired molds sitting in duffle bags in my basement for months untouched with no motivation. I started working on them a week before the game went down and with the game down pretty much all day I sit here and do my Amazon with my laptop laying around next to my studio desk where I been painting these things. Tank Pit down got me making more money.

I went to college for mathematics after graduating HS and CC when I was 17. I hated it after about a month and withdrew. I went back a couple of years later as a Zoology Major(University of Florida). I basically skipped class a lot, played dota, got high and ate tons of junk food. This was after passing up pro soccer trials in England immediately out of high school (idiot? youth? -.-). I turned it around and took things more seriously. I raised my GPA from like a 1.5 to a 3.0 and nearly graduated before deciding I didn't want any of the jobs in that field. I switched to Horticulture and really liked my course load. Once again a Bachelors would elude me as I withdrew to work full-time to support my home life. At 21, I now had a son and my girlfriend had quit her job to stay at home for a while. I've worked probably a dozen random jobs, mostly involving some form of labor. I've preferred those over the jobs where I sat at a terminal making phone calls etc because I like working with my hands and for me it helps the time pass. I ran a calendar Kiosk in St Louis the last two holiday seasons but this year I'm living with my family again in Connecticut. I had a few jobs that I didn't keep but I landed a good one about 6 weeks ago with a pretty cool company, Designs for Health. I managed to get #1 and a rusty while searching for work lol. Anyway I still plan to go back to school for a bachelors either in 2013 or 2014. After that I'll probably get a Masters wherever my wife is working because I'll be able to get free tuition (she's financial aid faculty).

Not entirely sure what my long term goal is but it's funny that you mention ceramics Zenta because that's something I've always wanted to do. That, and stone work. I really want to learn how to carve stone and make some stone tools for myself(and heck, if I take to the craft I could sell chillums and other stone pieces) ;). I want to get a kiln and do pottery as well as own some land with greenhouses and a workshop where I can make planters, grow plants, and sell finished products. Maybe Zenta will be my secret weapon, employed to detail my pottery before it's littered with perennials and succulents. I'm all about growing the plants that spread and reproduce quickly as well as come back after frost. (PPH = Plants Per Hour)

I've graduated college. I work full time at a decent place but the money is crap (economy) The owner can't really afford to give me a raise I've seen the numbers. I've been looking for jobs on and off the last year or so. I'm still waiting to hear about my pft cert. Basically I've been bored. I used to go out all the time, now I don't so it was nice to run into TP again to spend a few nights here or there playing.
