a few more jeans
Here are a few shots i found from the process of making those super sweet jeans:

I made a mock up to see if It worked like we wanted.

Job search October 2009 [now I know why people bag groceries]
In the breaks of the reggaeton I could hear the synchronized shouting reminiscent of a cult reciting its vows. I had walked in two minutes early, which in my book is late for a job interview. I was there for my second interview. The job was a manager for a company that was a bit [...]
