I LOVE BROOKLYN !!

Its official: Brooklyn and Pratt just click with me. Still miss my Frisco though.

I've decided to keep a journal sketch book of my transition from California to NY, here's the first few pages! Enjoy.




Many more pages to come.

PRATT INSTITUTE HERE I COME ! !

I stopped work a week prior to my NY departure so I could spend time with my family and friends. It's been incredible!! I'm so fortunate to have such a strong network of support from my family. This week has been filled with crazy random adventures and things that I've been dying to do while I still have ample free time. 

Here are all of the lovely Tuller siblings. Taken at our celebration/ going off BBQ party - A day with the sibbs is always a great one.

Yaay Brooklyn!! 

Thanks SF! See ya soon...

Above are characters I made of all my Diesel friends, a little thank you gift for them. 

Working at the Castro Diesel was awesome!! Despite the international name, the size of the store and people there made it seem much more like a little family-run boutique. My Diesel fam taught me how to relate to customers and sell the product at hand, a skill I could easily use to market my artwork in the future - pitch concept art to funders or whatever else lies ahead. On a social level they've pretty much introduced me to the club scene of San Francisco and the Queer scene as well. 

I can't wait to come back and live here on all the breaks! :)   :)      Wish me luck.

Sun, City, and Hills

6.3 miles or so of walking around San Francisco led me to a day sketching, 2 small parks I didn't know existed, and a great afternoon in my city. An aged hippie sitting in the Jackson Square Park. For the record, the other little dog park I found was at Linden and Octavia, I had only driven by it before.

I concluded my day at Tap Ex, admiring the shadows and rim lighting cast from the sunset. If your a bubble tea drinker, or just considering trying it - go to the San Francisco Tap Ex! They brew real tea and add soymilk with a bit of sugar - unlike the fake chemical crap you get everywhere else.

And what would a Paulsketch post be without a public transit doodle?

Here are some older photos I snapped with Joey on an SF and Berkeley outing:

Borrowed some camera equipment from Jo's work, including a portable green flash and messed around with it all in front of the new Jewish Contemporary Art Museum

These two below are film, I love the textures you get with traditional cameras - it feels more real. Taken on the CAL campus

On the Go - Sketchbook in Hand

What happens when you make a mistake and have 3 plans all at the same time in two different cities, and your phone dies while your on a MUNI train? Draw it. And freak out.

So, what I did, was attempt to make an appearance at all three spots...Which lead me to a realization: I am far too comfortable in San Francisco. Dressed in party attire, I wandered from a location in Chinatown (which I sort of knew) to a location in SOMA where I could only picture the bloc it was on, not how to get there. Nonetheless, I set off without a phone or much money - I need to be more careful. No way that would fly in NYC or Brooklyn, I guess I just feel too confidant in Frisco.   

And the usual: Commuting, Commuting into my city. At least I get to sketch  :)

Turned a girl I saw into a balloon - her expression was spacey, as though she wasn't actually here on earth.

oh, and my love for the Mission just increased, found some awesome new spots there to hang out!

OK, here's some news: Had my first camping experience!! Went north of Napa with a ton of friends and camped out next to a lake. I can't believe I've been missing out on this whole camping experience, it was awesome.
