Librarian

I saw a waitress the other day who looked like she would be so much happier as a librarian. 

Jeep Wrangler JK - Flexing

My latest obsession: Jeep (Wrangler).

I was never an SUV fan, nor have I ever gone off-roading, but at some point this year, I have decided my next car, I mean vehicle, has to be a Jeep. Jeep is just a jeep. I love the simplicity of it, and the utility image of it. I think this is a great looking vehicle. most cars today seem over designed for me. and not only that, they all look alike. Whereas a Jeep is iconic. 

Would you just look at it!?

It's not an asian restaurant unless you have this.

Central California Roadtrip

Whether you live in NorCal or SoCal, people in Cali have to travel through the central part of cali that not many people talk about- At least in my circle.  We always take the 5, since thats the shortest route. But what's in between? 

I did a map of central cali and it's landmarks for Travel and Leisure, print. Who knew these hidden gem were right under my nose. So next time you are travelling through the central cali, you should check out these landmarks. 

Travel and Leisure

Hamptons

Enjoying the day at the Hamptons. 

These are two spots I did for Travel and Leisure. 

the colors of the beaches there really struck me when researching. 

so vibrant, unlike santa monica beach. I love the beaches here in LA, but the good ones are hidden.

Maps are painful to paint, but always interesting to look at. 

One day I will have to visit this lovely place...one day.
