My cousin Skip dropped me a line and a picture that blows my mind. I might have been 8. Not sure.Not much has changed. 

This is just the beginning. Hold tight. Much, much more to come.

It just keeps getting better and better. Low budget incredibleness.

Been off the rivet with the old blog here a bit. Had to send the camera to get repaired and won’t get it back for a bit. Hence the YouTube injections. Saw these guys at Doug Fir last night. The video here is tripping me out. Put down the Cheetos for this one. 

What?no embedding the video? Loss of points for that bollocks. Still worth a look. Time to Pretend–MGMT.

Bjork’s Wanderlust video made by Ghostrobot of SF.

Here is a making of from the NY Times. 

A little email in-box love. Noe Kuremoto’s parents showed up to the office at WK London. 

Been off the blog here for a bit. Been really busy with new projects happening. Not to fear though. I am going to climb back on it right now. Last week was WK’s 26th Anniversary Founder’s day party. Here are a few good one’s from that. There were several choices of what you could do for the day to pay back the good. I went out to the Community Cycling center and helped fix some bikes up for kids. Sean and I gutted a tight little powerlight BMX and rebuilt the whole thing.Done. Time to party. The following are to random to explain.Check out Mary at marytalkstotyler.

8 years after the theft of a nation happened in Florida we are on the verge of a new reality. I remember rolling up Polk street and when I got to the intersection of Bush I noticed the street signs had been changed to say “Puppet”. It was done with the same font that the street signs use and looked as if it had been officially changed. Now after 8 years of a bullshit war on terror and the dignity of a nation thoroughly dragged through the mud, it is time for change. 

Sheppard Fairey has exploited propaganda and the graphic style of it for years. His first candidate that he supported was Andre The Giant. The phenomenon that was “Andre the Giant has a Posse” has literally became a cultural movement.  Starting small and making it big is the whole story of Obey in a nutshell. With a crappy little sticker to an evolving graphic style to the incredible zenith of entire gallery shows selling out before the openings, Shepard’s work has come a really long way in a relatively short period of time, and spurred by a fictitious client. With the Hilary and Barrack hitting the campaign trail hard for our votes, picking teams is now serious business. Sheppard Fairey has made a series of posters that have caught on fast with people. Street level communication can create change and inspire people to take action. If you are in the Portland area in the next few days, so will Mr. Obama. And if you so happen to be at work on Friday, there might be the next President of the United States available to give you a bit of his time. Just maybe.
