You know how it is. There are just certain people who mess up your mojo. They zap your energy and make you feel tired after spending time around them. I try to keep those people out of my life and I know it has made me a happier person. But there are some you [...]

Insomnia and The Machinist in me.
Posted in just plain ranting on February 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
What I’m talking about is the film The Machinist which tells the tale of an industrial machinist who suffers from chronic insomnia. For about a year, he hasn’t been able to sleep so he loses a gazillion pounds and begins to hallucinate. Well, there is alot more that goes on in the movie, but [...]
Funny icons for my iPhone contacts
Posted in art stuff, just plain ranting on February 28, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I got a iPhone the other day and, man, it rocks! I haven’t bought a nice new phone in awhile so this is a mega treat. So for my contacts, instead of taking a photo of each person, I have these icons which I made from a dingbat font. I picked them by looking at [...]
Straying for some Vintage, do it on Skillman

Oh, on a even better note. I talked with one of the shop owners at Stray on Skillman and 49th Street here in Sunnyside, and he and his wife want to sell some of my shirts. Bas-ass. They’re going to carry a few Queensbound designs. But either way, you really need to pop [...]
Nourishment for Queens at Nourish, NYC

On a more positive note, this place rocks and the owner Claire is uber cool. I went in the other day and got a super yummy berry smoothie. Sunnyside has been needing a place like this for a while. I think it fills in the void of our natural food selection here. Growing up [...]

I hate censorship. Especially when I’m the one who is being threatened by it or being censored. Is speech free in this country? Idealistically yes, but in reality Hell No! That’s why we have to fight for it and I will. So if you want me to take down a blog post because [...]
Free Rudeness from APRIL GLASS on Queens Blvd
Posted in Queens Stuff, art stuff, just plain ranting on February 27, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I cannot, cannot, cannot believe how rudely I was just treated at April Glass, a gift store on Queens Blvd. I am so shocked. I walked in there to drop off some I HEART QUEENS stickers which I have been doing all along Queens Blvd. So as I have been dropping them off in [...]

We sent out a The Ghetto tshirt to a model and here is a sample of what she’s been doing with it. She looks naughty, doesn’t she?

We both love the font Gotham.
I have a few favorite fonts that I use on a regular basis Univers, Interstate and Gotham. Over the last year I have been consistently using Gotham for most of my projects: my couture line print collateral, my block print book cover, my block print graphic tee, and even [...]

(product CTE-0803)
Many of you already know this. I know this because my beagle, Chomsky, is so bad-ass. But now it’s become official as of February 13, 2008 that beagles rule. The hoity-toity Westminster Dog Show awarded Uno, a 15-inch beagle, the Best in Show award. This is the first time in the 132 years of [...]
