A Shameless Blog

Erik and I were wandering around Scrap awhile back when he spotted
a huge stack of these orange boxes here. By themselves they’re awesome
looking, I love the double m’s in the top right.

Inside was a very long roll of microfilm, the one I got happened to
have a bunch of ladies advertisements on them. I haven’t made it all
the way through the roll, so I don’t know if there’s more in store.

Ever since I graduated, I’ve been keeping myself occupied with school like projects. Am i copeing with post-graduation depression? BOO!

I asked 59 friends, family and coworkers what the first liquid that came to their mind was. Then I made a poster of it. The size of the drops indicate the number of times a person chose a particular liquid. Thanks to all who lended their liquids!

Here’s the list:

1.     Water (6)
2.     Alcohol (5)
3.     Coffee (5)
4.     Beer (3)
5.     Breast Milk (3)
6.     Gas (3)
7.     KoolAide (3)
8.     Pee Pee (3)
9.     Soda (3)
10.     Tea (3)
11.    Cum (2)
12.    Hot cocoa (2)
13.    Juice (2)
14.    Liquid Nitrogen (2)
15.    Acetone (1)
16.    Bleach (1)
17.    Cream (1)
18.    Curry (1)
19.    Energy Drink (1)
20.    Fizzy Water (1)
21.    Hydroclorich Acid (1)
22.    Ink (1)
23.    Iodine (1)
24.    Mercury (1)
25.    Olive Oil (1)
26.    Pepto Bismol (1)
27.    Salt Water (1)
28.    Spit (1)
29.    Warm Jello (1)

You may recall the poster I did for the Wolfman Faries a
month or so back. Here’s a few of the assembled fellows
getting precocious in our house plants.

The large one is the actual scale if you were to cut him out
of the original poster. I made the small ones because the
scale seemed to suit them far better.

Frolic!

Besides cutting out paper shapes and gumming up my hands
with glue-stick, I’ve been working on a block print card that
will hopefully be at a post-worthy stage soon.

Made this show poster for my friend Michael last night, it meant that I
didn’t get to sleepmuch last night but it was really fun.Totally inspired by
the ReadyMech I put together a month or so ago. Michael plays in the
Wolfman Fairies and he was pretty pumped on the poster, for which I
was glad for he is a man of taste. I think. I hope.

Haven’t cut him out and assembled him yet but I intend to, oh yes.

Here’s part of why I haven’t been as active on the blog lately.

If you want to see more photos of it, click on the image and travel
the information super highway to Flickr! I think it’s worth it.

There’s much to post about, interviews had, interviews coming up.
I’d rather sleep at the moment though, so I’m going to get to that.

One more photo:

About the blur: it’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that I don’t trust everyone else.

Last night was dedicated to screening my mailer and drinking a tall bottle of Frank Zappa’s Kill Ugly Radio brew.

Not a bad Monday night at all.

Here’s the final litter, they’re 11″x17″, two colors on newsprint. I’m really happy with the way they came out, even the ones with inconsistencies. The type was really fine, but it was so crisp I couldn’t resist posting a kinda geeky close up shot.

Now all there’s left to do is bundle them up and send them off to various design firms around town, just so they know I exist. Let’s hope it works!
