Drawn by Pablo. Amazing, I have used this for a couple Beats by Otter flyers, but I have to give some love to the Original piece. This is a scan of a scan. The original is tucked away in storage. Pablo has been a prolific poster artist for years, and well… I”m thinking that the LA bike building scene is now enjoying his love of that, bicycles that is. I got this image in the mail on day when I was working at Dandelion, He had just been in Champaign for a little family visit, we hung for a little bit, but I never expected an “otter” piece to arrive. He also sent this pretty dope Helmet dude… might have something to do with the randomness of people calling me Jimmy Helmet head instead of Helmick, either way, I’ll take it.
yeah yeah, I post stuff that I sell at my jobby job. So, this is hella cool. Talk about some blinged out pot pie, or the classic pie tin. Italian Porcelain, and pretty doable for over the top daily use.
Dark matter discovered: Scientists believe they have found elusive particle that makes up 90% of Universe.
This was the headline, the article is pretty cools, but what really got me was this awesome Dark Matter Map. I love scientist. They are smart, and smart is hot. That 90% would be the measurement of Matter in the Universe. Heavy eh? The things you might find in a deep deep mine shaft in Minnesota.
I went to Inhabit and the opening reception for it at Post 27. Post 27 alone is the bomb, so tossing in a super talented group of people who make great things, and having it all priced reasonable is the goodness. I have a new found fondness for feathers. Knob Creek met Beer, Beer was cool, but then wanted to kick it with Red Wine. All of that booze doesn’t have much to do with things, the night was fun and would have been without. Well… who am I kidding, I wouldn’t have eaten the loaded mashed potatoes if the booze wasn’t my buddy that night. Good people, good design, good…. Maybe you don’t want to hear design blah from me, I mean, I picked a decent fantasy football team.
My fantasy football team, It’s name is These Bleads. Mark can tell you about that name, or anyone with Cannonball Run lore in their memories. I”m not a line for line movie kind of person, I never have been. Having been buying hip hop bangers since 89ish and spinnin some of those records sometimes, I still can’t quote some Rakim flow, never knew Brand Nubian word for word like Jude could just drop from his love of verse. When it comes to movies, I have those friends as well, Maclay comes to mind, knowing Big Trouble in Little China or something else awesome. But Yeah, this was my long approach to thinking about this blooper reel from. 2:23 is my joint.
Country Fair Theater is where I would have seen this, yep… I got some years I been trough, good ones. These Bleads are in 3rd place out of 17 teams. Why not, I couldn’t be touched back in Kenwood Elementary School’s Grey-Y Football team. We were the Buccaneer’s, in the 5th grade that is a dope name to have, the Buc’s. I even started to love the actual Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they had a quarterback, Doug Williams who looked like me. I didn’t just like a black quarterback because they were black, they had to throw the ball at least as deep as Jim Plunkett or Dan Fouts, I was a big arm fan, deep throws, big plays steeze. Well Doug Williams had a booming arm. It was kinda too bad that he had to get his long earned super bowl appearance , and record setting performance, as a member of the Washington Redskin. I was rooting for them to win, I was a Denver hater, but I couldn’t really get with any team that called themselves Redskins, that is a fucked up word to Native Peoples. So I hear it with empathy, I mean come on, that on the Nigger level with them, so it should be for everyone. Not to preachy preach, I on no grounds to do that. My longest known best friend Mcintosh, was on my team. We were above the curve with football moves. I dug the football, and thought I was a football mack until freshman year. I was a flanker for the Centennial Chargers freshman team, quick hitch and go play got me kinda dazed when Raymond Leshore hit me and made me stop playing football. I’m still a secret looker of the game, and I like this pick some dudes that you think are going to do well from week to week. Our league is so low key, and so little time involved, that it make being in the top 5 feel kinda fun. Go These Bleads. Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuise were on some funny shit.
I’m liking this. Aragonltd is on some nextness with these one of a kind pieces. Support the good ones. Get it here! Yeah, it is the gift giving time of year, but i’m thinking we all deserve something like this for ourselves . I have been known to be a bit selfish.
I was hanging with my friend Jacki, and we walked by this bar on the corner that was clearly closed, as in closed for a long time. There was an amazing mural on the two sides of the corner. If your in Chicago, you must check this out. I”m thinking some yoga/wine bar will come along and wipe out this art. I”m not much into art research, you can handle that right? I just snapped some cropped style images of the bears and such. Lincoln ave, just north of Grace. Even if you don’t like Da’ Bears, you will like this.
Grab that rain run off, insulate that building form cold and heat, make shit look good. It’s like that horrible show that i’m addicted to called Life After humans, or something like that, on the History Channel. Very bummer show, but kinda cool in the science way. There are always spots about how the plants will take over buildings and become a part of their downfall, literally. Cats are suppose to rule shit, dogs are suppose to die off. Dogs apparently rely on us a bit too much to make it on their own, where as the cats keep it cat, and don’t really need us. Living walls or animal smarts? Whats this about? These buildings are simply dope. I need to get the schooling in to learn how to do this.
These Freakazoid Ghosts are hanging on Augusta, just about a block west of Damen. I was walking my friend home around 4am. We passed them, and were creeped out. I dropped her off, and preceded to take some flicks. They were all about 10″. Petite Creep. The upside down one is on some bizzarro shit.
