FIELD NOTES: 9
Another FIELD NOTES is full and ready for reflection. I didn't get a chance to do as many doodles as some of my other ones but its not a loss if its actually filled with notes. Most of my doodles happen when I have to pay attention and this time around it was the last weeks of my film class. If you look at some of the notes, you'll notice some movie information like directors, films, and actors. That will also explain THEY LIVE on the back cover of the notebook.A film that always relevant despite how much time has passed. On a lighter note, Groovy Dude is something else that never seems to be out of fashion.
I never noticed how much I like to write down the word SPACE. Not only that but kerning the hell out of each letter creating a visual reference in the typography.
Music seems to enter in my notes whenever I can't listen to it. I see three references in my doodles. Groovy dude, which is part of a longer lyric from the mad villain himself, MF DOOM.
“groovy dude
not to prove to be rude
but this stuffs like what you might put on movie food.”
Madvillain - Great Day Today
The other ones are vintage classics that I will always be in the mood for.
The Skyliners - Since I Don't Have You
Smokey Robinson - When Nobody Cares
David Bowie Peg board
My friend and I felt it hard when Bowie left this year so I decided to make something that will remind them of the time he spent here.

A LOOK BACK AT DECEMBER 2015
At the beginning of December, I knew that I wanted to do something that would kickstart my transition into 2016 with an energetic jump. I decided to make a list, and from that think of gifts to make for the close ones. But for everyone I would make a christmas card for and mail it because the only things that we get in the mail these days are bills and amazon boxes. I quickly sketched the card and finalized it within a couple days. I have access to an OKI 941 that has the ability to print white ink, which I thought would be perfect for a cool looking card. I printed the cards on and envelopes and focused on making gifts for the close ones. A good design exercise it turned out to be and also quite time consuming but it was all worth the time knowing that be spending New Years in NYC with some of my closest friends.
Part one of the trip was going from Maryland to New York City
Part two of the trip was getting from NYC to Moretown, Vermont.
Part three was getting from Vermont back to Maryland and eventually back to San Francisco.
