Transmissions temporarily interrupted...

due to the plague, which amplifies symptoms of COMS (cranky old man syndrome) and has the bonus effect of making me more illiterate than normal...

but you really should check this out.

Found Art

If I could make and patina something like this, I think I'd be pretty pleased...

(found and photographed scrap metal, unaltered, gallery ready as is...)

Newz...

Shooze: these boots are made for workin'

Scanner/printer: the better to show you stuff, like this:

Morgan's new zine! You could get one too, just write her and ask and be nice and send a little $ 'cause it's cheap art, not FREE art. But trust me, it's darn GOOD art! And less expensive and more satisfying than a trendy coffee from a multinational corporate coffee place...You could get back issues from her too so you'd have the continuing story, and she would really like it if you got #2 from this distro: (remember distros from the earlier post???)

Stranger Danger Distro (I linked right to the page so it's all easy peasy for you, I'm helpful like that...her's is the next to last zine on this page)

Of course I have much more to say and show but it's late and I have to work tomorrow at the day job, so I'll save it all for the next edition.

Support your local (and blog network) DIY alternative artists and makers, it will make you and them very happy!

Painting

bits of paintings i did tonight to use in another project








'cause everything is more than one thing...




and your link for SEAA this evening: Rachael is making sweet paper dolls, with bonus: biographies! Fun and reasonable. You could adopt a whole tribe of these interesting characters.

Best. Mug. Ever.

One of the great joys in life is morning coffee. Even better when it's from a supremely sweet mug (and I'm no pottery snob, most any vehicle to carry the liquid will do, but really, one of these mugs elevates the experience)

Mine is quite similar to the one on the left (i'd take a picture of it, but don't have my cable handy and I'm too lazy to go find it).

Given to me as a generous thank you gift by Courtney of Courtney Martin Pottery. She probably has more, you could ask her. I bet it works well for tea, too...
