New Stockist.

Damn near impossible shooting anything down here without a car in the way. Austin, TX

As of Friday, you can now find my stickers and my latest mini art book "Do Something You Love Today!" on South Congress in Austin, TX at a great toy shop called Monkey See, Monkey Do!. This places has been in business for 11 years and is home to a TON of cool vintage and modern toys from old He-Man and TMNT action figures, to newer Kid Robot toys, and so many little trinket toys in between. Located in the SoCo district of Austin, Monkey See, Monkey Do! is gracious enough to have my products in their store along with so many others. Their book section is legit, too. And about a block south of Home Slice, how the hell can you go wrong? Grab some pizza and walk on over to get some toys, stickers, books, buttons, and so much other cool shit you'll flip your top quicker than a spring breaker with beaded-necklace envy.

Located at 1712 S. Congress, Austin, TX 78704.

Leave your shirt on and say whuddup to Steven and Larissa and be sure to tell them I sent you.

Do Something You Love Today.

If you follow me on Snapchat (BLUE731), then you may remember earlier this year I would post little drawings of fun characters spewing little gems of inspiration every morning. I made these little scrap pieces of paper to take phone messages at my last day-job and began drawing on them every day as a means to keep me in uplift. I would post them at the communal computer in my department so that others could see them as well. I wanted to share these moments with people everywhere in hopes to get them through a little tough patch they may be having or just make someone smile.

I was pretty miserable at my last job and these little characters were a mix of positivity for the world or things I wanted to tell my co-workers, but mostly, they were little reminders to myself. Little windows of how I was feeling at this place. I am happy to say I've since quit that job and have been pursuing more enjoyable things in life to earn a living. Although it's been tough without the security of a day-job or "steady" income, I've felt so much better spiritually and creatively.

My brand Awake & Moving is growing every day and that's been a huge blessing. Every day, every week, I am able to put so much energy into my brand that I can see it growing so much faster and stronger. Personal art projects I had been putting aside because of a lack of time are seeing fruition and this book is one of them. So I wanted to share it with you all.

I saved every one of these images without knowing what to do with them. As I was coming to the end of my time at that job, I had the idea of a book. So I grabbed my favorite images that I drew from these mornings and collected them into this little art book. I've recently changed webstore providers and redesigned the look overall to look cleaner and this book can be found there along with the new Deftones concert poster I created. SHOP HERE. Expect it to fill with new projects from now on as often as I can produce them (every sale helps create the next project btw!). Also, be sure to keep up with awakeandmoving.com as I have a LOT of good stuff coing and not just new product!!! Most recently photos of the Atmosphere & Brother Ali show!

OH!--Each book includes a hand drawn illustration just for you making each book uniquely unique. Thank you for your continued support everyone. I know you will enjoy this little book and hopefully it will help you throughout any little daily struggle you may have. Every moment you reside in positivity over negativity is a win of a much bigger fight.

So stay positive and Keep Pushin' Forward!

Delayed. Sleep. Phaze. Number 3.

The time has come. Delayed. Sleep. Phaze. Number 3 is officially here! It's been a long time since DSP2, roughly three years, but things come as they are intended and when. The extreme gap of time in between the two pushed me to create something bigger and better than before. I shed the smaller 20-page format in favor of over 50. I let go of black and white and embraced full-color. I shed light on two different artists versus the usual one, including a rare interview with APHRO ONER. I decided drawings weren't enough and included design, digital illustrations, and photography--essentially encapsulating most of my visual disciplines into one book. I then created the video below to further push my envelope and showcase what DSP is to me. The book is ready for purchase and I look forward to hearing your feedback and seeing your faces light up when you look through it.

PURCHASE BOOK HERE.

Delayed. Sleep. Phaze. Number 3.

The wait is officially over. The pre-order for my latest book Delayed. Sleep. Phaze. 3 is now available in the online shop. They have been sent to the printer as of yesterday and are on their way. Pre-orders will begin to ship to you starting July 13th with an official release date soon after. This is your opportunity to get the book before anyone else as well as receive two stickers which will not be available elsewhere for quite some time and were created just for this book.

DSP3 is looong overdue and after so many life changes and book corrections and reprints, it has finally seen completion. To make up for the ridiculous delay, I upped the ante all together and doubled the size from the previous books from 20 to 52 pages, and decided to jump into full-color printing as well. It looks glorious! This book is my finest creation and includes pieces of all my favorite media from drawing to photography to design.

If you are a fan of my work, you will likely be surprised at the growth. I've been sitting on a lot of images for a while that you haven't seen yet that I am exceptionally proud of. If you are new to what I do, I invite you to pick one and see the grand scope of the creations that come through me. You will definitely enjoy these pages, people. I am excited to see and hear the reactions and feedback to this one. My previous two did really well and are long out of print. These will be limited as well, only not in such small numbers or hand-numbered as before; I want as many people as possible to own this.

This book was entirely financed by myself and created solely by my own hands, with two exceptions. I normally save the special guests for you to find on your own when you buy the books blindly, but I have decided to change it up again. Within these pages are images and interviews with two of my favorite artists in San Antonio, Cris Licea (ArtSlam!, Death From A Brush) and Aphro Oner (The Lust Project). I have always wanted to include these two in my books and now I got 'em! (S/O to Alonzo, hahaha.) It was only fitting to have them both rather than only one. So BIG shoutouts to them two.

I could talk all day about this book but I would rather stop here and let the pages speak for themselves. Head on over to my online shop and pick up a copy as well as the new DOOM print and some old art prints too (photography prints in LIMITED numbers coming soon). I cannot say this enough, but thank you for all of your continued support. The dream is very much alive and a big reason is because people like you reading this and copping my creations help keep this ship afloat and travelling waters the world over.

THANK YOU.

DSP 3 Update.

I know it's been far too long since my last book. Literally about three or four years. Over the recent months I have been letting out little nuggets and snippets of the next one through my SnapChat (BLUE731) and I know the mystery is coming to a bubble. Well, the wait is almost over. I get my artist proof this weekend or at least by early next week. I am excited to see it and hoping that I got it all square on the first shot so that I can get it out to you sooner. I will be hosting a pre-order in the online shop once I approve the final proof. Then, I will look to host a release party in town where people can pick up their copies in person and have some extras to sell that night. Pre-order will likely have some cool free stuff you can't get after because I love hooking my supporters up with extras, especially when they support me sight unseen. It has taken a long time to build that kind of trust with you but I am ever thankful for all of it and for all of you. You help keep this thing running and even though I would continue if you were to leave, know that it is much more enjoyable with you all around.

Much love.
