best new tshirts i cant afford

Print Liberation makes the kind of shirts i would make in my basement.
short, crass, easy to read words.
not quite well cut letterring.
simple colors.
simple, clear message.

print lib t's are pretty cool, but until im cooler and more middle-class i will be picking up a few rags to wear.

holiday shopping made easy.

i grew up a wee bit before the advent of the internet for everyday use, ie: communications, entertainment, shopping. starting around October of every year my parents' mailbox would start to fill up with catalogs selling some of the most worthless junk, ugliest clothes, and useless toys. through my surfing-while-working i found what is surely the most accurate representation of the kind of waste of paper mailing i used to look at. yes, i understood irony at a very early age, im just not so sure these people do. Harriet Carter! useless!

trust me


im listening to Ministy's "last sucker" album and the sound of some really cool dudes down on 62nd st showing some hot chicks how loud their cool bikes can be if the just flip their wrist a little bit. i know that sounds like im goth and think motorcycles are gay, but i dont. just superficial.

i am afraid i will ruin a drawing i have been working on and off on for over a year. tomorrow i will hit the studio, maybe record a song or two, then stand in front of a drawing that i know will never be done. black ink. white ink. thats all. i should take a picture of it and see if it even has legs. its one arm with two hands almost hugging a heart. the image came to me while lost in Italy five years ago. maybe its just a t-shirt idea. i dunno.

i need to start on the Rooms cover work, but hell, we havent even recorded proper yet. so that can wait? it cant. it will require a lot of cutting, but not in a shitty, emo kind of way.

this is why i dont have a studio away from home
