My Shirt


I usually have about three shirts at a time and I wear them until they fall off. Recently my old shirts became too old to wear and I really wanted my new one to be a shirt that portrayed Obama as a rapper. I love the style of these shirts. I truly believe they blow most any screen-printing major's senior project out of the water. This shirt is amazing. Obama and Bidens' heads are done with super fine mesh and are one color. The lettering of "Obama/Biden" are another mesh and are two colors. The top that says "Seize The Time" - just the outline is another screen and the fill of the 'Seize the time' is another mesh entirely. It's super wide, blown out and it's doen with sparkle paint. This shirt should be selling at gallery for $150 but you can buy them on the street in Philadelphia for $10. I was lucky to find the only shirt that wasn't XXXXL and I plan on wearing it until it falls off.

My Guitar


This is a Givson full hollow-body acoustic guitar. Lauren Manoogian gifted me this bad boy last year for Christmas. I had one that I bought in India 4 years ago. I carried it all over India, back to America and toured several times with it strapped to the back of my motorcycle. Then one day I brought it on a plane to Spain, bundled it up so it would be safe and I boarded the plane first to put it in the biggest space. It was fine until right before take off lady rushed on and forced her bag into the overhead compartment and cracked the headstock. I didn't realize it until the first show when it stared to buzz. It eventually broke in two but my Dad is in the process of gluing it back together! The one pictured is identical. Lauren Manoogian had her boss get it for me and he carried it back from Delhi without a case! I knit the cover for the release of my last record. All the way around the edge of the guitar are the words "I'm Not Ready to be A Daddy".

Belt and buckle


My belt was a gift from my Mom when I was about 14. The buckle I bought around the same time. The belt smells like sweat and rotting flesh in the Summer and has ruined pants. I still wear them but I have to wash them (the pants) separately from other clothes to avoid contaminating the entire load.

My Keys


My keys represent my chilled out approach to responsibility; small amounts, wacky and fun! (half-kidding)

My Sweater


My Mom made this sweater for me for Christmas last year. I had one just like it when I was a baby and she was able to find very similar yarn to recreate this bad boy. Thanks Mom!
