Productivity-wise, we are running at lethal levels right now.

Which means = Shit’s getting done.

01. Matters friendship and plastic.
02. Matters medical and pouch.
03. Matters national and paper.
04. Matters knitted and promotional.
05. Matters inked and must-have.
06. Matters shipped and on the way.

Not to be messed with up here. I mean, shit, go head, take a shot. Just show up at the door and be mowed down. Need a friend? We’re got broad shoulders to cry on. Need a logo? We’ll make it. Need some advice? We’ll offer half-assed, guiding light. Whatever the gig we’ve got our hands in right now, things are getting executed with surgical precision. Anchors are down, and we aren’t going anywhere. It’s time to get some shit done!

I JUST HOPE I’LL LIVE TO 150, SO SOMEDAY I CAN TAKE UP “HAM RADIO OPERATOR” AS A HOBBY: A sweet pile of ham radio operator QSL cards. (Thanks, Bill!)

FLUORESCENT COLORS, YOU KNOW, FOR KIDS: Field Notes gets “kneeihigh to a grasshopper” shedding our years of age, wear and tear and makes a colorful, kid-friendly set of memo books. You can get them over at J.Crew, a reputable clothier and accessories enterprise. You need these. I’m burning through my Packet of Sunshines just so I can get to one of those fluorescent orange whippersnappers. So good.

FREE LOVE, FREE AIR, FREE ART AND FREE FREEDOM FOR ALL: The Free Life Center has a big to-do this Wednesday at Holocene and if you go, there’s a good chance you’ll do one of the following, or all combined at one compacted astral moment:

01. Get very beardy.
02. Expand yer mind.
03. Get shitcanned on tasty libations.
04. Meet someone that makes you go, “Whoa, man.”
05. See some incredible art action.

Nevertheless, anything to do with Seth Neefus receives a meaty “thumbs up” from the DDC. And that’s forever. So, you know, get yer ass over there and get free with them!

AN AWESOME FUCKING NAME: Ward Zwart, people! I’m pretty sure I’ve linked him before, as he makes some wicked illustrations, but anyhoo, I just love that name. Kind of jealous, really.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the “Draplin” namesake and all, and get my goddamn money’s worth with what God gave me, but man, “Zwart?” That name is the kind of guy I need to have on my side. We’re there for you, man, if you ever need backup, be it street fight or storm.
