<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>389</i> was made on a 4'x4' wood panel. Unlike <i>608</i>, which expanded and grew organically through the drawing process, <i>389</i> had set dimensions. Using so many parts on a relatively small surface gave <i>389</i> an abstract composition of several areas of densely layered line and paper. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>846</i> is my largest work to date. I documented the the drawing process so I could analyze and view each step more critically. Working on a larger scale, I felt obligated to work somewhat more slowly than usual, taking more time to consider each next step. Viewing it up close as I worked on it, and standing back and seeing it as a entire composition, gave me two completely different perspectives — as if they were different pieces altogether. Viewing the piece from a distance I could see where the lines needed to be directed, built, or removed. </span></div>

The series focuses on the fundamentals of drawing and the process in which drawings are made. I experimented with making and combining compositions as well as many strips of paper to use as parts of the drawing. This approach of making the components of the drawing beforehand contributed to an atmosphere of distorted space and shape.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">The process was developed after some observation of my own drawing habits. I found that I needed rules to restrict my thought process and slow my mind down. Without them my drawings would too easily become overworked and overdeveloped. These "rules" helped abstracted atmosphere and shape come together as a purposeful composition.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">This piece was a continued exploration in joining pre-made compositions and strips of paper to create an image. <i>608</i> refers to the number of parts used to create this drawing—607 pieces and 1 support. A vertical layout created by joining and overlapping the parts adds a pixelated filter to contrast the crude, organic marks of the individual pieces.</span><br />

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">The term “non-color” is what I used to explain to my 5th grade teacher what I saw when observing light through a prism. It was understood that I was colorblind and that my results would be different. These non-colors were impossible to describe, but I knew at least that what I saw differed from the teacher and the other student’s observations. This series is based on experiences of uncertainty in recognizing colors.
</span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small; white-space: pre-wrap;">Again I used a standard principle set of 12 colored pencils. I began by creating circle compositions of colored dots consisting of all 12 colors, in varying sizes. The compositions were inspired by Ishihara color tests, circles containing a hidden number or letter usually used to determine red-green color blindness. I wanted to create a complex color scheme of all colors to experience single colors next to other single colors as well as new colors when they would touch and overlap one another. These brightly presented dot compositions were very intense. I then added a layer of a single color on top of all the other colors in hopes of understanding the information in a somewhat monochromatic color scheme. I chose not to fully cover all of the colored dots in order to preserve and showcase the underlayer of color information that i was confused by and could not determine.
</span>
<b id="internal-source-marker_0.6284308983013034" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">Perhaps the actual experience of using color over color was more impressive then the final result. As I layered the final color over each composition, I could watch it take over and consume the original composition. These colors would then change, creating new shades or hues of colors. I knew that the act of layering one color over another would alter it, but many combinations often appeared unchanged to me.</span></span></b></div>

I am colorblind. These studies have been an experiment in using color, and recognizing my own limitations and perceptions when using them. I generally make works in black and white or with a monochromatic scheme since my eyes can understand gradients and shades quite well. Color is a different issue. In the past when trying to use color my saturation levels were always off, or I would use a “wrong” color when thinking it was the “right” choice. I have always shied away from using color for fear of being “incorrect,” and the frustration of never knowing what the outcome truly looks like. This was an experiment—with no right or wrong—in using color and observing the way they change when added together. Some remained the same while others resulted in different shades of the original color used. </span><br /><span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background- color:transparent;"></span><br /><span style="font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; ">I used a standard principle set of 12 colored pencils. I used a single line format to systematically keep track of the colors used and combined. The base of each line consists of the same 12 basic colors; then a solid coat of one of those colors is applied across the entire line. I used colored pencils rather than paint because I felt that I had more control when over the application of each color, and that it maintained some of the integrity of each individual shade when layered instead of the pigments mixing together.</span></span></span></div><div style="color:black;"><span id="internal-source-marker_0.17162095988169312"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;"><span style="font-variant: normal;

">In my last weeks of living in San Luis Obispo I have been trying to take in all that the central coast has to offer. I have been taking small trips hiking and enjoying the coast. These drawings are based on those experiences and what I have found interesting during the outings. On my most recent trip to Montaña De Oro State Park I was drawn to the exposed layers of rock eroding thanks to the coastal weather. The different types of rock seemed so clearly divided and well organized by time. This gave me the idea of organizing and grouping textures and materials together through line and marks. These drawings are inspired by textures and materials from Los Osos, as well as maps, systems, boarders and pathways.</span></span><div></div><br /><div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiisK7bwzafs57sHCLnOyqGh5W2UEzfCV7dGiKmG9fx-YENvWxAi7k360WGcELml80yWpjMnMigcEIAfxB4CBEy3WXpHTrKO9Vu0fYVGCVeqIC8o568ykEuXbCcPnFVBj4FboQ3cArZMQE/s1600/system_1web.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 314px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiisK7bwzafs57sHCLnOyqGh5W2UEzfCV7dGiKmG9fx-YENvWxAi7k360WGcELml80yWpjMnMigcEIAfxB4CBEy3WXpHTrKO9Vu0fYVGCVeqIC8o568ykEuXbCcPnFVBj4FboQ3cArZMQE/s400/system_1web.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635710312656284050" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">City</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Ink, gouache, graphite, gesso on paper 11"x 14" 2011</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8BU5MJsbnvfJbRjR5ejijQAIOpLFv-FChmoOWJzI9xakkDjJwv7pM1X-EMjau71tlWsbSq7ody5V8Ck5WPgWAcicQMpaZtcLH_LCNoeN0hDFEnqfnTlQ4M3UJCt_xjiu0Zgji6NgZzIY/s1600/system_2web.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 309px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8BU5MJsbnvfJbRjR5ejijQAIOpLFv-FChmoOWJzI9xakkDjJwv7pM1X-EMjau71tlWsbSq7ody5V8Ck5WPgWAcicQMpaZtcLH_LCNoeN0hDFEnqfnTlQ4M3UJCt_xjiu0Zgji6NgZzIY/s400/system_2web.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635710307025858706" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Separation</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Ink, gouache, gesso on paper 11"x 14" 2011</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwKPkjwQqx9AGQs2NpOqJICaviz2jlhHnKC95TSlNrjPaJbNM26uSO6SRNkKUiHHnLi-F8De8kIUmIVGVHkAlS6ic7hkoMpmdHy9TX-jKxhfzSKDVUjBpImI4uEnSKtMGyDNQegw1PYLI/s1600/system_3web.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 313px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwKPkjwQqx9AGQs2NpOqJICaviz2jlhHnKC95TSlNrjPaJbNM26uSO6SRNkKUiHHnLi-F8De8kIUmIVGVHkAlS6ic7hkoMpmdHy9TX-jKxhfzSKDVUjBpImI4uEnSKtMGyDNQegw1PYLI/s400/system_3web.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635710304533298882" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Sticks and Stones</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Ink, gouache, gesso on paper 11"x 14" 2011</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div>Christopher Osamu Iserihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04533606936610253818noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371023012608718307.post-79439189119765411222011-07-27T21:58:00.000-07:002011-08-01T10:38:45.991-07:00Active Hands<span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><div><span id="internal-source-marker_0.08106978354044259" style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:Georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">My time at Cal Poly has come to an end,and I finally graduated. My last summer in San Luis Obispo has been relaxing. Everything seems a lot more quiet, although I still feel anxious to produce or make things as if there was a critique next week.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /><span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:Georgia;"></span><br /></span><span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:Georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">I have been trying to keep my hands active and make something everyday. I have continued my process of combining various lines and marks on different layers, but have changed scale from a large format to 11"x14" or smaller. The scale shift has been the hardest to adjust to. It is more difficult to create spatial depth, interplay, and movement on a smaller scale. The layers got denser at a much faster rate, which overwhelmed the support. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /><span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:Georgia;"></span><br /></span><span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:Georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">I needed to create more space or interaction between foreground and background layers. I then began to cut out areas of the layered composition, breaking the dense atmosphere into multiple objects. Adhering the cut outs to new supports helped turn the objects back into atmosphere. This series of drawings took the shape of mountains, describing nature and land through layers of line and mark. They were also inspired by the spontaneous gestures Zen master painters would use in order to achieve the essence of nature without rendering it to the fullest.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-style: normal;

color: rgb(80, 0, 80); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> Recently I have been experimenting with the overlay and layering of images. These drawings were all captured digitally with a VisTablet (VT-Muse) making it much easier and faster to experiment with certain compositions and layers. I printed the image twice, one on tracing paper, and then mirrored on normal white stock printer paper. Both pages were combined creating a mirrored and mimicked pair of the images layered one top of one another.The intersecting and overlap of lines create a very chaotic composition, both image layers trying to fight for visual dominance. I first drew the images with the tablet in hopes of loosening my hand giving things I drew a more free flowing and organic feel without wasting real materials that I own. When combined and layered the image details act differently and are seen as visual texture. Through the physical layering and the visual traits of mirrored images these layer drawings reference a sort of Rorschach image test.</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(80, 0, 80); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">More to come.</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(80, 0, 80); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigEOmhbW2pzCa2zZmmJT4fbuR1xlJ6XsPd_5y5sB_d9MQwdNJexZKJSY_h3LlrKUvU3GY6Smf8yu181oCJ3w5Pd06y5kdcTinrJ3I8S-FJ8ixzgzJLI2sbkaYr26HZJC6kPUZnvyYLn84/s1600/overlay_2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 281px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigEOmhbW2pzCa2zZmmJT4fbuR1xlJ6XsPd_5y5sB_d9MQwdNJexZKJSY_h3LlrKUvU3GY6Smf8yu181oCJ3w5Pd06y5kdcTinrJ3I8S-FJ8ixzgzJLI2sbkaYr26HZJC6kPUZnvyYLn84/s400/overlay_2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502562112756099058" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Overlay and Repetition: Rorschach 01</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Hp printer ink on tracing paper and printing paper 8.5x11</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZADH4JxW6ftLLjiZRPQU0ij86Uv-T-uo5uC557KW4Wa2NxYHKH-olCR_p2zqLEAfnHKG-CRGrHDrBMLAZf0TW45QBudnAG4SW7uELAeHJuBnh9X_9UqUx40BeZwX5KuQdk0PyMneVYKM/s1600/overlay_1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 290px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZADH4JxW6ftLLjiZRPQU0ij86Uv-T-uo5uC557KW4Wa2NxYHKH-olCR_p2zqLEAfnHKG-CRGrHDrBMLAZf0TW45QBudnAG4SW7uELAeHJuBnh9X_9UqUx40BeZwX5KuQdk0PyMneVYKM/s400/overlay_1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502562110159315058" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Overlay and Repetition: Rorschach 02</span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Hp printer ink on tracing paper and printing paper 8.5x11</span></div></div>Christopher Osamu Iserihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04533606936610253818noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371023012608718307.post-79085833819821719142010-08-01T13:18:00.000-07:002010-08-01T14:41:53.415-07:00Seismographic Drawings: Amtrak<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" border-collapse: collapse; font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">For the past few weeks I have been traveling back and forth between San Luis Obispo, Sacramento and San Jose visiting friends and eating good food. I did a few experimental drawings on the train ride up from SLO to San Jose. Lately I've been inspired by the work of William Anastasi, in particular his subway drawings. On the train I sat in a straight upright position making sure my back was not touching the seat back. With my sketchbook on my lap I held a pencil in my right hand resting gently on the paper and as the train moved its movements would be recorded though the pencil. This created a sort of seismographic scribble drawing, a visualization of a distance traveled. I did each drawing from station to station. I tried this process with my left hand as well as both hands at the same time. Each drawing was a continuous contour line composition of scribbled marks going left and right, these horizontal lines are all of the turns the train makes, the more condensed and darker areas records when the train is traveling straight. the long vertical lines are of the train stopping as it arrives at a destination. I like the idea of creating drawings with random and instantaneous methods. for me it gives the art more of an honest interpretation of what that art should look like, negating any artists style that may jeopardize or change the marks being made. Through this experiment I made the artist become the instrument, I felt this practice removed all stlye and skill from the artist a sort of a cleansing feeling. More to come.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9On-RJuFAIdmSkCAiXNc-En5EJfRU5NGHy-H0jnE1i9h7BRdRk8dsiTPuOYxnq616YaCVR9yC1-eBRGgG9N3x1ghByk-nAGAk-DXCyz_k0EoIPWUHL2vcOAaUMrs_bXiNteurEZyQpno/s1600/amtrak_1.jpg"><img style="display:block;

We were assigned to make a site specific installation in nature. This installation was a collaborative effort by Nick Roach, Noah Simmons, and myself. We were greatly inspired by the sculptor and land artist Andy Goldsworthy. Our site location was the sand dunes of Montana de Oro. Our intention for our piece was to create a large organic flowing form mimicking the natural flowing dunes and introduce a material unnatural to its site-specific location. We used sticks gathered from a eucalyptus forest about a 15-minute hike from the actual sand dunes. The sticks offered a somewhat uniform shape and mark to deal with in making our land installation. Inspired by other great land works such as Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty we began creating a line in the sand by placing the sticks upright in the sand one after another, creating an unraveling spiral shape. We then continued this line in a snake like pattern creating the illusion of an endless line flowing throughout the dunes. The sticks added an unnatural element to the soft rolling sand dunes creating vertical lines and shadows which would moves and stretch as the sun rose and set. More to come.</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglPGbc3HmrFkdJU97Ts3t-jBZtm0y6rgWVscVbQhuncZPBnM0tchCTFpjN8SZJn7hIfs2_rX9MBFOrUA23I0uWyPrM80jTuUtmRfB53_ZdQ65ayGRCbutM4UcjdH9t-MJdcGKN2YSTVN8/s1600/23479_1331955350855_1590150624_30805946_7252779_n.jpg"><img style="display:block;

For the past four nights I've left the painting studio on campus after midnight. The current project is a conceptual landscape that I'm rendering in oil on one of four 4'x3' wood panels I built over break. I never realized how easy it was to build your own canvases. </span></span></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">More photos to come.</span></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh78aJf7xWqzX1ACBrungJiC2OJci8Uu9VV2w-lUdke3_XqDt0W7_YUCj-ZG0DXbo4gnympDZiFBuPeuOpMkVLmu-scsoN3OGjtrny9gALL_vlr66gDAyNqWIWD0jH4fv6RcLcRIMfj43Q/s400/sketchbook010+copy.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465131606616626066" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 334px; height: 400px; " /></span><br /><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUzN3vdN-5yiarXooQB4UTLMBs9WtNGm4JOQmNn_3EPWimMw4kKKIRI4Npb1sRPRESlAsNN552uV2ZC6qBx630I3Ecdvyp7cdSlc2-Tb-ofu13FbL1GyvnDlNPAesmAOoYVs4DRMmQ8PU/s400/sketchbook011+copy.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465131613776144194" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 334px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_aMHj17ZVj-xRXcnqnpII13BLxWownGJ24rD0Zmmu6Bo0R_z3E27XG4YZWEL-fTC5ofk5GJnHFsJ2Z_0_yoPHqXU-jE5eLzynWjQLDraSJk7OGjQUX-eg4-makLS2iNHq9NsrLsEPjmU/s400/sketchbook012+copy.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465131622331098050" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 322px; " /></span><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 342px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKQN7U2QTfKK20yW2MGHqU5c5NR9QLaNqjaSNAdEjm7qF0Y5A-XG-LTcQmXU9Wf-xfoipMLowVlFbaFcBr_BOQVAH4v2h05nx04Kw3y8F7Erz3d5cXTaW_Y5wDk08gQdgRYrWJsdiymIY/s400/sketchbook013+copy.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465131626186596610" /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">graphite and ink</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><br /></p></div>Christopher Osamu Iserihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04533606936610253818noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371023012608718307.post-12967551507987906082010-04-21T00:42:00.000-07:002010-04-21T01:19:01.693-07:00I hate Madison<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Madison is a cat that always seems to be lingering around our house.
