Fuck Technology (Ode to Letraset) Night Table

Earlier this year, I freaked out because I thought Letraset (http://www.letraset.com) was going out of business.  I was mad at myself for not stocking up on their letter transfers while I had the chance, which I used to purchase from local art supply stores.

I used the last of my Letraset letter transfers on this table:

After some heavy research (looking at their website: http://www.letraset.com), I discovered Letraset was not going out of business after all, but simply cut back on their letter transfer inventory.  Seeing as how people have photoshop and scanners and whatnot these days, that seems like a sound business plan but doing things by hand trumps technology any day, for me (http://www.letraset.com).

Foxy Motorcycle Boys (on Motorcycles)

For Easter 2011, I went to Canada to visit my cousins in the burbs of Toronto and I finally got to revisit my favorite Canadian thrift spot: the Value Village in Guelph.

This time, I found a cool illustrated children's book from either the 70's or 80's about motorcycle riding.  Back in Philly, on a sleepless night, I painted some wood board that I found in our house with spilled and scraped India Ink.  The foxy motorcycle boys eventually found their place among the ink (and glitter):


 Handsome men, showing off:


Check out that butt:


I enjoy glitter, foxy boys, and vehicles of various sorts, so this one was conceived quite naturally.
