Cleaning a Mop

There wasn't much for men on Western Avenue, until Weldon Jack came along and saved the day.

This is Abraham. He's been a little lazy on the grooming, but it was no problem for LT over at Weldon Jack. I tweeted out to the internet asking for people who needed haircuts badly, and Abe's wife was quick to respond. Abraham works as a sign language interpreter so people are definitely watching him. Here's how he looked after his mop got chopped.

He's a brand new man! Now people will be staring at his haircut instead of his hands. Thank you to Western Avenue for allowing me to do dudes like this a solid.

Mid-July Update

Ready?

This cat started meowing at us in our backyard, so my girlfriend decided she wanted to take her into the vet and get her checked up. Andddddd...we have a cat now. As we were leaving the vet's office, this whole family of pups and kids came out. Leave no child without a dog.

Her name is Nyanko. She brought us a bird today.

I painted my friend's dog for him for his birthday. So yeah, hit me up if you guys want some dog paintings.

Here's the biggest piece of news.

I WORK FOR THE PLAZA DISTRICT NOW.

It's crazy how over a year ago, I was just photographing people during LIVE. I made some friends, worked with some cool folks, and now I get to help promote this district. This is mainly why I've been too lazy to blog. 

Here's Mick Foley and some beef jerky by the legend, Jim Ross. Photographing comedians when they're really up tight about being photographed is kinda lame. I'll pick my subjects better next time.

My Drink & Draw pal, Lance, and his wife, Becky, debuted their gourmet pretzel food truck, Twist, this month. Easily one of the best trucks in town. Light and yummy. 

Last weekend was my girlfriend's birthday. We decided to do something nice for someone else that day too. With my Western Scout abilities, I waited for someone awesome to come into Guestroom Records. The door opens and you see a little kid run around screaming, "WECORDS!" I thought he was so cute, I offered his dad a record on the house. They searched and searched for something with a "WocketShip" on it, but they ended up grabbing some Stereolab. It's always cool to see a boy and his dad enjoying what will probably be a pastime. I'm currently connecting with my dad through collecting records. He's teaching me his oldies ways.

I'll wrap this post up with some cool kids at Premiere on Film Row. Premiere gets better every time. I think they've finally got the hang of things. Build cool shit, and cool people will come.

Western Avenue: From Tucks to Pups

Got hungry today and went to eat at Tucker's in the Classen Curve.

After that, walked next door to Black Optical and shopped around for some specs. Drove further north and grabbed some Organic Squeeze. After that, stopped by Big Sky Bread Company and picked up a loaf of bread, a strawberry crumble (so freaking good), and some granola.

Headed up some more to the Always Greener show room, where we got an excellent deal on a dog mat and a throw pillow!

Drove even FURTHER north to the Make Up Bar, where I got some face lotion by Jack Black. Finally! Something for me.

The girlfriend wanted to look at cats so we stopped by the OK Humane Society. 

We played with some pups and kittens, and just as we were about to head out, I see this guy, Andrew,  playing with a little puppy named Luigi. Turns out, he'd been coming in for the past few weeks looking for the perfect companion, and today was the day. Today was not only Luigi's lucky day, but Andrew's too. I decided to use some of my Western Scout money to pay for some of Luigi's adoption fees. I mean, come on, look at him. 

Thanks Western Avenue! We did not expect to drive around on one street all day, but whattaya know, it can be done.
