Piedras Blancas Elephant Seal Rookery, San Simeon, CA
I only brought one roll of expired Ilford HP‑5 B/W. I haven't not thought about color for awhile so I had to be conscientious about tonal value and separation, so on, so forth, so gray. I did find something exciting though—a wooden Nokia-esque phone.

Caffeine Blues, Blast, Baby!, 2010
rubber-based ink on BFK Rives, 12 x 12" each
Shuffle, Hibbleton Gallery
Wake up this morning
Gotta wake up fast
Gotta get to school
I need a caffeine blast
Coffee wont do it
I need something more
I need an artificial pickup
Get me to a drugstore oh baby
I want an artificial stimulant
I want a Vivarin®
And maybe some speed
Well I got to school
And now my minds on the blink
Gotta get some caffeine
Now I can think
I had a coke and a coffee
And a glass of tea
I feel like dancing
Is it caffeine or me

Picked up a set of three Don Clemente paper boardgames.
They came prepared with dice and four poker chips (embossed with the Don Clemente rooster*).
Real rough translations of the rules for El Coyote.
Each board also has a kraft "B-side" game---different titles, different type styles.
Damas, I think means "ladies"; Damas Ajedrez means chess.
