fantasgraphix with complimentary shoelaces

whaaaaaaat! whose super amazing idea was this?

Judgement shot clock

Back room, REVEALED!
Against my better judgement I had to include my feet in this picture as the laces go so nicely with the Nuggets unis.

face it, best DENVER font rip-off ever


EXITENTER

An enter for Struts exit. Walls are painted with various different types of paint, not all friendly to the needs of the humble tempera puck, hence (hence!) the washed out NTE.

Plotting out the macramé wall, with a cop-out projection, pick your battles Hambone!

whaaaaaaat! At the Frenchys in Amherst I found a baggie full of basketball cards, like 250 of them! whaaaaaaaat! who even knew basketball cards existed! Baseball, yes. Hockey, yes. Basketball, pre-Frenchys, no, post-Frenchys, yes. The gems I put aside and the runts have been cut into diamonds to satisfy my chaotic-pattern-seeking/aesthetics-of-athletics needs.

Rainbow Braid LOGIC (an auxiliary of EXTREME-BRAIDS)

The Denver Nuggets RAINBOW (plus)

Braid Master's BRAID (equals)

The RAINBOW BRAID, a very handsome and practical pick n' pull thread tool thing. I would like to see the machine that makes these, with all the 348 spools of thread, I imagine it is b-e-a-u-tiful.I found the Rainbow Braid at Dayle's in Amherst, but have seen them pretty much everywhere, almost bought one in Frankfurt last fall. I don't think this is right, but, Die Regenbogen-Flechte, ja?

OK QUOI?!

Click this & read the article
On Thursday 28th from 1-4pm at Struts I will be giving a workshop called 
Anni Albers & Dirk Nowitzki walk into a bar... crafting fantastical basketball nets
It will be part talk, part marcamé tutorial, part sweatshop & part b-ball game with the newly made net.

*as a side note, after reading the article from the Times & Transcript, I must say, I really must say, that it is SO insanely annoying to read one's own words in an article without proper credit being given. I don't understand, do journalists/writers of newspaper articles think they can freely lift from artist statements as though it wasn't written by anyone, as though the universe produced it, and it doesn't require props of any kind!? Baaaaaaaaad form people, bad form!

There will be BLOOD

(mosquito explosion)
 List of injuries occurred by various people during yesterday's game of pick-up: bloody nose, bloody knee, ball to the face, ball to the mouth, min 2 max 4 tumbles to the ground, a wristwatch sent hurtling to the ground & the back popping? exploding? off and I think that's it. It was magnificent.
