This project is just a way to bring my love of chance, the bombastic colors and graphics of the ticket and the economics behind choice. I’m just buying your luck, and essentially, you don’t even have to spend money. I’ll pay you for your luck. // So I tried out my luck on the ones I bought last night. I bought 11 tickets ($20) 6 were losers, 5 were winners! Bought in Astoria, NY. High-res

My project for MAY is called Scratch Off Roulette. To play, you only need two lottery tickets of any denomination. I can either buy them both off you — or you can scratch one and I’ll buy the other. Choose wisely. We can literally do this anywhere and anytime so get at me. High-res

Take a tour of Chris Gethard’s New Jersey. There’s a WA-TER-FALL!!!!

Gethard and I made a mini-doc about Paterson, NJ and we got to shoot slo-mo shots of a waterfall. We shot this on the coldest day of the year.

Awww. I was born in Paterson. Thanks for the tiny love letter, Geth. This is lovely, it is all those things and more. Paterson was an old factory town that never truly recovered greatness once the factories moved out. I’m pretty sure they filmed this in Lamberts’ Castle which overlooks the city.

Then when I was 8, my mom moved me to the hills of Ohio to breathe cleaner air and hoped that one day I’d speak English without an accent.

As artists, we are always pushing ourselves, sharing more than ever before, reaching new heights. I am so excited in revealing my newest project called I WANNA SHARE MY #SELFIE WITH YOU! As always, I love to keep it collaborative so I’d also invite you to share your #selfies with me. I know you have way more than you’re sharing — so come on, open up, I can’t wait to see all that we can create. High-res

Kate’s Craft Corner - “Nose Cozy”

When temperature is low noses get cold, Kate fixed this with her latest craft invention

Oh! This just won a top 5 funny video of the week award but here’s the video in your dashboard — I seem to always miss it when it’s first published! You’re welcome!

Next week…..more crafts!

Tomorrow can possibly be one of the biggest days in US History. If Prop 8/DOMA is reversed — we will be one step closer to equality for all. It always take society some time to catch up — hell it’s still catching up in some parts of this country — but it eventually does and will. Nine states have already made same sex marriage legal, and if it passes the other 41 will follow suit. As a person of color, I’ve been discriminated against many times just because of the color of my skin — something I didn’t chose, I was just born brown. I see it as the same thing. Discriminating because of how you were born — something you had no control over.As a person of faith, I also don’t see why there is so much conflict on this issue on the Christianity front ( I can’t speak on behalf of other belief systems). Jesus is all about free will — he doesn’t force people to follow him. I don’t know why we are forcing hate onto loving dudes and ladies who just wanna get married and have the same rights as every other American here. We are asked to treat others like we’d like to be treated and to above all else, love our neighbors. So neighbors, here is to tomorrow.PS. I also expect everyone to be married by the end of next year (2014). Take that domestic partnership//common law marriage// Brad and Angelina type of love to the next level. I wanna see commitments, rings, celebrations of love ASAP. PSS. I also wonder when DOMA is reversed, if all the gay billionaires will just then become Republicans and just live off that compound interest for generations upon generations to come. I mean, just use that tax loophole, am I right!?PSSS. I just googled gay billionaires. I think I have ADD. PSSS. The rulings aren’t until June? WHAT??!! Ugghhhhh High-res

soyale: Red lipstick y chicas guapas💄👯 ❤ @melissagomez (at Manhattan Center) I’m super grateful for my friend Alé, for her big Texan heart, for the fact that she always lets me use her black eyeliner, because she might be the happiest semi-tone deaf singer in all of New York. This girl, is the little Mexican sister that I never knew I wanted, and can’t imagine life without. I’ve never had many latina/brown friends, I didn’t go to art school so I never had any artsy fartsy friends, I sure as heck have never had any friends who had the same convictions and beliefs in Jesus, and were trying to live a life full of love for others — while realizing we might be the biggest messes around — and if not for grace, we might be lost. I like having friends that make me wanna step up and do more in this world— & not just so that people celebrate me and all my glory. I am thankful for my little Alé, & my one hope is that you may all have a friend like her. Te amo, chiquita. High-res

This makes me wanna pack my bags, break my lease, and explore this great world of ours. Well worth the one minute, and Rick Mereki has a 3 video series called MOVE, EAT, LEARN. 

Enjoy.

yummyfixins: Chicken leg roasted with herbs and pancetta, watercress, and fresh coconut meat noodles with pesto My friend Ali is a ridiculous cook. She cooks mostly paleo, no grains, no sugar, no nightshades!  It seems like there is a lot of restrictions but look how pretty this food looks. I need to cook more.  Also isn’t this what all you crossfit babies eat? YUM. High-res

I posted a lot of pictures today on my business facebook, but these are my b-sides, which sometimes may even eclipse the originals in my heart. Who knows.  I just wanted to humblebrag a little more..I also wanted to show you how I really love my grey sweater. I wear it all the time. I should buy a another sweater.

Fun Side Note: Yesterday was the first day I ran into someone I know while doing this project.  Phil Jackson pretty much found us while we were looking over the images…and with a simple yes, joined in on the fun. Let’s keep saying yes, ya’ll.

I only post once a week but when I do I go all out.
