Whistle While You Work

June 16, 2010

WE'RE ASKING FOR YER HELP ON THIS ONE: I need a good portable radio. Any ideas? Something sweet I can drag around the house, or out into the yard, etc. I know you guys know the hot shit. Cough it up. Leave a comment! Help!- - - -I'M WHISTLIN' RIGHT NOW: Florida's very own Janeen Smith tips me off on a cool upcoming poster show called, "America at Work: Art and Propaganda in the Early 20th Century." I'd love to check that one out! These posters instantly make me INCREDIBLY thankful for what I'm so lucky to do. Man. Freaks me out. So lucky to get away with this stuff, considering the state of things. Thank you, world. And thank you, Janeen!Here's a little more on the deal from Mr. Heller.- - - -WE SAW THEM UP CLOSE, AND THEY WERE GREAT: Always With Honor's Elsa made the greatest little set of "One of a kind original designs hand embroidered and framed in 5" finished wooden hoops." Buy them!- - - -IT'S SUMMER: Hit the road, man! Here's a little link to get you on a one-way course to Yellowstone. Mom and Dad just passed through there, and I find myself wanting to go and actually spend a couple days there. Not just whip through it like a dick, like I always do. Anyhoo, dig into this one: "Vintage U.S. Parks Posters." (Sent in by Chicago correspondent D. Schille, and we thank him for exemplary linkage.)I'm drawing up plans for some kind of summer mission. Something. That van is hitting the road at some point in the next 10 weeks. A threat for you.- - - -THIS WEEKEND: Building the other set of shelves in the garage. No links for this one. Just some motivational verbage I've been telling myself: "Build the goddamn shelves, already. And fix the rain gutter, too!"- - - -ALL THIS DIGITAL SHIT IS STARTING TO FREAK ME OUT: Even more so, after watching some good ol' fashioned screenprinting going down. Here's what I watched: A little movie from Canada, printing up a poster for a Misfits show... "Misfits at the Pyramid." We dig! Thick inks on durable fibers. Makes me miss my screenprinting days at MCAD. How lucky we were to have those facilities! (Printed, and sent in by Craig from Guppy Design up there. Thanks, Canada!)- - - -ON THE PLAYER:01. Red House Painters - Old Ramon02. Jon Wayne - Texas Funeral03. Deer Tick - The Black Dirt Sessions04. Tobacco - Fucked Up Friends
