He may deny it, but he really is a hipstotter

Recently in my printmaking class, we've been making lithographs, and our assignment was to create a modern day bestiary, or an animal that illustrates some moral. My solution to this problem was to make a hipster otter, or a hipstotter. Of course, no good hipster would admit to being a hipster so he's actually an "(i'm not a) hipstotter". (Also, as a side-note, this is an interesting and slightly life changing article about hipsters.)

I think he turned out quite well. Of course, killing myself making a seven color print wasn't enough, and I decided he needed to be put in some different situations. 

"Did someone steal my fixed gear bike?"

"Nevermind. Here it is."

"I liked this artist before he even started making art."

"You probably wouldn't understand my art, it's really conceptual."

Yep. That's pretty much it.

Things on my Camera, or The parts of my life worth documenting

I sometimes leave the photos on my camera for a very long time. It's like a visual documentation of my life, but only the certain parts that were deemed worthy to be captured on camera. Here's a snippet of my life:

1. Pierre and Harriet (And Brian, I guess)
or
While Christie was getting instructions from some kite enthusiasts


2. You don't even understand how much I love my roommates
or
I'm glad you at least like me


3. Why would I need to prank my roommates when this is a common occurrence in our apartment?
or
There are remnants of my last apartment consuming paper project reflected in the mirror



4. How sketchy was that Super 8?
or
Surprisingly, there were still people in that room


5. Pierre returns, this time in a much nicer climate
or
I need to work on my tan


 6. Half an hour into having half of every duo
or
Solution: take a photo



5. Every time I see these photos I laugh
or
Peace and blessings, PEACE AND BLESSINGS



6. Azusa Pacific
or
If Bethel Put This On Our Buildings I Would Consider Transferring


7. Lion Dances, NOT Line Dances
or
40 Minutes before Willis Tried to Learn to Dougie


 8. Huntington Beach
or
How is Rachael so Damn Sexy?



9. San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
or
Apparently Ad Reinhardt Owns My Soul


 10. No longer on my camera, but you know it deserves to be here anyway
or
How could you ever resist that winking man in a snuggie?
