est. 2010

"takes it" and "likes it"


parched baby parched

find the seam, love the rip-stop, break the wind

red lips oughta move to Kapuskasing, or Sackville

it'll be worth it, trust me, click on the linkiedoodle
this is all thanks to the one and only, Pierre Malloy
with its radio debut on Ilse Kramer's Radio Yoko
CHMA 106.9 or bust!

ding dong inventory

perpetual perpetuation

I bought this little man for 7 cents at a garage sale

for my mama and her tiny ceramic animal collection

for Gisele and her poodle collection

my radiant fuchsia 50/50 tickets from the Sackville Legion karaoke night

for my collection of over-sized plastic sporting equipment

but wait! it's a clock, with club arms, all for only 99 cents at the Sally Ann

from the Moncton Village des Valeurs, chapped lips radio

macramé epiphany

disinterested v. uninterested

drawings of banners NEVER to be made, especially 'nothing sexy here MOVE ON', what?!

real & fake peoples, cast a shadow

I think I pulled 'moderation in moderation' from one of Dan Savage's podcasts

A ball-cage sketch for the wall, except the actual ball-cage is invisible and only the contained balls are left. I used the basketball cards I found in Amherst to reference for all of the ball lines, it's difficult, (maybe, impossible?) to produce random from el brainio, or I should say, my brainio. ...patternz form...

I like these things a lot.

I really had intended for this to read "THINGS I NOW KNOW", arf.

RAISIN production at LITTLE ARMADILLO

el sketcho
blurry RAISINS OVER PASSION in front of macramé wall

Silkscreen artwork was made using sticky vinyl to create a one-off stencil. The positive is cut out with an exacto knife and placed on the paper side of the screen, it's immediate and lends itself really well to my font, huzzzzzzzzzah! I do wish I hadn't lost the middle of the O and the A, or had thought to cut another, arf.

Printing at Kallie Garcia's Little Armadillo print shop with Flash the dog.

Heat setting with John's handsome iron.

A quick and dirty Hazel twinning (disregard the photoshop hack job on the right).

preSAPPYball with postMACRAMEnet- July 29th 2011


ZERO personal liability insurance EQUALS please DON'T TRIP OVER THE NET
captain hook shot

CHEER SQUAD, featuring Elli & Andrew




design feature v. design flaw

a sharp punch to the net's baby ball bump becomes a much sought after gesture to macrame-ball

TEAM- the few names I remember, from left to right, Braden, Andreas, fellow from Montréal, fellow from Halifax, Hazel, fellow from Halifax, fellow from Montréal, Andy
After the group pic some of the fellows pull off their shirts, allowing for a cool breeze on their chest, but seriously ruining our team identification strategy, that being black shirts against everything else. Arf.
