I miss it.

I wasn't always as big into this whole car thing as I am now, and lately it's been just school and cars. But before it was school and art and cars. That was back in high school, mostly just because in high school, I had real motivation, my AP studio art class. Man, I really do miss it. I haven't painted in MONTHS, and I've had that itch. I was looking through my old paintings and I kind of want to rework some of them, but on the other hand, I've been drawing like a madman lately; doodling in classes, drawing plans for new paintings, just drawing whatever pops up in my head. I miss having paintings due every two weeks, staying up until the sun comes up and taking a quick nap before having to go to school. I think I'm kinda going crazy. I need to get my art on for reals. This summer will be fore sure a good summer for art. I won't let it not be.

Pic of the post:

This photo was taken by my friend Izumi "Izi" Kato a little more than a year ago. This was near the end of my AP studio class, and I was painting a piece that I'm not really that proud of now a days. It's funny, because this is one of my favorite photos of myself. It's kind of weird seeing how clean this desk is now that it's not completely covered in art supplies. This desk is gonna be soooooooo messy this summer haha.

One month later...

Okay, so I'm slackin still. WHAT EVS!


It's been damn near TWO YEARS that I've been doing this blogging thing. And I always say that I'm going to actually do stuff to my car, but now, things are actually happening.

Prepare for a picture heavy post:

First up, I cleaned that black shit off my tail lights, looking so fresh and clean. I'm soooooooooooo happy, I feel like it's a new car every time I walk up to it from behind haha.
Next, NEW STICKERS! Don't need pics lol, they'll show up sooner or later. Oh, and you can see the new tow hook, iLL Garage, represent! haha. And, my tow hook, is not lonely.

I got a new set of coilovers from my buddy Jay, it's getting installed soon, just need a place to do it.
How the car sits now (this will be my before shot, an "after" shot will come some time soon):

Happy Mico!
THANK YOU TO CLIFTON FOR MOST OF THESE PHOTOS!!!!! BAD ASS YO!
