I went to King of Prussia today for fun, and decided to buy some gifts for my three brothers since I haven't seen them for almost 6 months! I guess you could call it late birthday gifts, besides, my family really don't even celebrate birthdays.
I headed to Urban Outfitters since they were having a summer sale, and ended up purchasing three graphic tees for my brothers.
My youngest brother loves the Stussy printed tees line, and probably has over 30 of them, so I Stussy graphic designed by Gilbert Hernandez was an obvious choice.
My favorite tee is the guy with the Afro hair-do! I always remember watching him teaching PBS viewers how to paint landscape scenery with acrylic paint. Do you guys remember this local celebrity? My best friend (Kayla) and I would watch him paint on Saturdays and it never ceased to amaze me, how easy he made it look! His voice was so monotonous that I would always switched the station, only to come back to it in 45 mins later and see the marvelous finish product. Once I did watch him paint an evergreen tree and the brush technique that he used was so easy that I thought I could do it to! I went to the dollar store and brought a cheap watercolor palette and imitated his brush technique, only to find that the finish product was a mesh of green and brown glob of paint on my paper. Was it that I was using watercolor rather than acrylic paint or the wrong paper? Could be and probably was. But I was highly disappointed at the results and it made me give up on painting all together.
Its amazing how a t-shirt can bring back so many childhood memories. I hope my little brother enjoys this t-shirt as much as I have enjoyed buying it.
My next post is about Bryn Mawr College, but I really wanted to post this picture, so I'll talk about it on this post too.
I wanted to visit Sarah B. and the professors in the chemistry department today, before my schedule gets hectic, and was lucky that they were still in lab today. It was a breath of fresh air to see familiar faces again; it was like the lab never changed since I've left the lovely niche a year ago.
I wish the best of luck to Ryan and Sarah on their PhD path in chemistry!! You're the smartest Chemistry Cookie of them all!! And all the best to Maggie on her pursuit for a bachelors degree.
