iam8bit : august.14.2008

got off work at 500 and hopped on a bus to fairfax + pico. i saw my transfer bus to hollywood drive by. i sprinted full-filipino-fastness but the driver wasn't impressed as she pulled away.

didnt get to world of wonder until 700. by that time, the line to get in was already ridiculous.

IAM8BIT : August.14.2008

I've been priveleged with the opportunity to show some of my artwork at the World of Wonder Storefront Gallery on Hollywood Blvd. with a gang of talented artists from all over.

If at any point in your life you wasted countless hours in front of a tv screen with your nintendo, atari, turbografx16, or whatever it was....you really need to attend this show.
