T-shirt tuesday Times two

So i didn't put one up last week so here are two from the website Poketo.

For 100 dollars you can get a grab bag of 8 of their shirts in any size you want. It's pretty chill.

Stay pretty

boom! that just happened

So apparently there was a magnitude four point four earthquake in San Francisco today. Which means that the mega push is most likely coming. So everybody brace yourself, because you'll probably be dead in a couple days.
LOLZ!
Anyways, if you don't know what the mega push is than you should Google it. It will most likely make you want to hide under your table. But that won't help!
On a happier note my art is going really well and I'll put some pictures up soon.

Stay pretty.

uhhh i can explain

So for my loyal four followers, im very sorry that i haven't posted anything in forever. Heres a pretty picture to make you feel better.

I really like the feathers.

awesometown is awesome

I've been a fan of Fontanelle Gallery on Pine street (kiddie corner to Stump town) Since a couple of months ago when i happened to stumble upon it. The people there are quite possibly the nicest people you can meet, and there is a continual stream of amazing artwork flowing through there doors most every day. They have this amazing thing in the back of the shop called the parlour, where they sell hand crafted items as well as art, for ridiculously cheap prices. One of my favorite favorite pieces is by the group Wonder Thunder based in Seattle Washington.

It's called the angry toast and it's a pillow.
I love it. So if you get the chance be sure to check out the gallery. Their next show is curated by the always amazing Ryan Jacob Smith.
That's it for now. Stay pretty.

When i was a boy i was who i am now.

Have you seen the new Where The Wild Things Are poster? Pretty much amazing. I'm not sure how the movie is going to turn out, but it seems at first glance to be really beautiful cinematography. Granted I'm just going off of screen shots.

It just makes me happy.

T-shirt teusdays(except it's wednesday)

This shirt made me laugh. It's by this lovely illustrator.

http://www.ginettelapalme.com/main

Her actual name is Ginette Lapalme and as well as making sweet tshirts she also makes some really good art.

That's it for now. Stay pretty

when life gives you splatters you make it a picture.

I painted this a while back and thought you guys might want to see it.

GIMME ONE!

The artist Eiko Ishizawa, based out of Amsterdam designed and created the Bear Bag. A sleeping bag that covers your head and makes you look like a bear! It's hard to describe in words so here are pictures.

I want one so bad! Although it would be a little creepy to act like you were sleeping inside a bear. Oh well. I still want it.

keep it going.

after this blog i will officially be nine blogs away from the fifty blogs mark.
So here are some interesting things with the number five in them

1 in 5000 north atlantic lobsters are blue.
7,5 million toothpicks can be created with one corn of wood
On average there are 175 sesame seeds on the bun of mcdonalds big mac.
and finally...
Liberace has the worlds largest rhinestone wheighing 59 pounds. It is almost a foot in diameter.
Stay pretty.

Where did you hear about this!?!

Just over heard while walking throught the halls.
You ready?

"Yeah dude, and then his rectum exploded!"

Don't you just love teenagers?
I don't.

speech impedimedimedimedimedints

How awesome would it be if everyone started reffering to their blogs as there Blags?
Then you would have millions of people going around saying blag,blag,blag all day.
It's really just more fun to say.

congrats on the whole fame thing

I bought these guys' album yesterday ( their the band Starf**er ) and it's freaking awesome.

That's about it.

tragidorable.

You know that your blog is woefully under read, when you join it just to make the followers numbers higher.
At least I'm not making fake identities yet.
OR AM I??

why are you still here?

Anyone else really dislike the O.L.C.C ? I sure do. Mainly for the fact that they did this.

Christie Scott, the public affairs specialist for the OLCC, said that the new amendment would be completely voluntary for venue-owners.
“It would merely give them the option - not to mention the guidelines - for mixed-age events,”

So here's my problem with this. Why would you make this voluntary? By making it so that the clubs have to get them you make it so, they don't HAVE to have all ages show, they just can if they want to.
It just seems silly to me, that owners are willing to pay for a liquor license but not make it so that some of their shows were all ages. Plus the fact that these laws have to do with music venues and not bars. In the end i don't think one or two all ages shows are going to really, really damage how much money you make. There's a massive amount of kids under the age of 21 who are willing and ready to pay to see their favorite bands, and you think that it's a good idea to shut them all out because you can make more money from Alcohol?
I'm not an expert but i just think that we the city of portland could use some more all ages shows, instead of having to crowd into a tiny house.
short version is that we should have alot more all ages venues.

t-shirt tuesday

it's that time of the week again!
This is by Gamma Go, and yes it's on a t-shirt. Pretty freaking awesome, i think.
buy it here---> http://www.gama-go.com/home.php

make it to the moon if i have to crawl

I want to be the last starfighter so badly it's not even funny.

dinosaurrzzzz

Today i was telling my mom how scientists in Malaysia have made it so that dinosaur genes can be implanted on chickens, and my mom looked at me with a completely straight face and said,
" Well were did they find dinosaur Jeans? denim doesn't last nearly that long"
Proving once again that my mother is hilarious.

no honestly i don't do this all the time.

yeah....... That's what happens when you let people paint your face.

It was actually kind of awesome. Mainly cause i'm a mother flipping

TIGER

And my eyebrows are extra luscious. Yeah O.K so it's actually really awesome.

the hook ups and the down lows.

So Me and my friends have decided to go on a tour/roving artists/camping trip this summer for a week and a half. SURPRISE MOM!
Anyways we're just going to go up and down the coast of Oregon and California and Washington. So far it's going to be seven people and they're all going to be part of either the band or setting up, or merch. table or something important.
It's probs going to be tots radical.
tots=totally by the way and if you aren't using it yet you should.
So that's what happening in my life.

messed up.

so apparently sammy the salamander is actually a newt.
Kind of a debbie downer. I gues he'll have to be renamed. I'm thinking Nathaniel or Norton would be the best ones but I'm open to suggestions.
Laterz

it happens

my mom hates it when i say this, and it makes me laugh really hard because in my opinion it works for most everything that someone says to you when they are ranting about something.
" i got in a car crash "
" my dog died"
" dude that guy just got stabbed!"

and so forth.

Sharks, and eagles and kittens oh snap!

This is a fake C.D cover that i made in graphic art. I really like how it came out.

cute+ creepy+sad=this post

can you imagine the person who would actually pay to have this done?

I could.

And i want to give them a hug.

hell hath no fury like a mother who got the wrong thing.

yesterday my mom went to pick up shirts for our our dance companies young ones, and miscellaneous other people. We left ridiculously early for class, and we picked up everything we need and then we went to class. We got there and one of the little ones parents asked for a t-shirt so my mom opened up the box that they had placed them in.... and there were sweaters. Sweater, upon sweater, upon sweater filled the box. It was like opening a box that you thought was filled with flowers, and finding out it was filled with bees. With lasers attached to them.
Needless to say my mother actually almost killed somebody.
The moral of the story, is don't mess with mothers, who have to take care of fifteen screaming children who all need shirts.
Or better yet just don't mess with my mother.
Because you will die.

catch of the day.

thought this picture was awesome.

Can you imagine eating that thing? You would have left-overs for months.

Or maybe the guy is just having a crazy party. Hope he has a BIG stove.

the walk home was extra special

his names sammy. I found himwalking home today.

Isn't he just precious?

why you don't get in fights with sea creatures

Their all friends with these guys.

And the last thing you want is to get it through the stomach with one of those bad boys.

more birds of prey

Here's the link to raptor cam, by the way--> http://www.kgw.com/raptorcam/

Watch and be amazed!!!

Rest in peace

The Hush, quite possibly one of the coolest all ages venues in Portland was shut down this weekend due to their stunning lack of permits, for more or less anything. Fom what i was told, five police officers, two fire marshalls and a representative from the olcc showed up and told everyone, that even though they were having fun, they all need to leave, because did you know we're the fun nazis? It was kind of inevitiable, seeing as the place was kind of shifty, but it's still really depressing when such a good venue, that once again was ALL AGES gets shut down due to people feeling like they need to asert their authourity over teenagers, by telling them they need permits.
I'm just saying....
It's just sad, and lame. I hope that they find a new place to party it up, because the one thing this city needs is more all ages places, that don't blow chunks.
I'm talking to you the Coop.
more later
Stay pretty portland

talons of awesomely goodness

Did you know K.G.W the news channel offers a round the clock view of birds of prey ?
it's true.
AND AMAZING!!!
plus it's called raptor cam, which makes it a million times better. Not much is happening right now but I'm pretty sure that I'll soon see a bird of presy swoop down, and be majestic.
I'm sure of it...

T shirt tuesday

Yay! It's time for a new t-shirt.
Heck yes i decided to do T-shirt Tuesday.
Today's is from the artist Keith Shore, who i believe is based in California (don't quote me) It's pretty much awesome.
Here it is.



It's cats high fiving, and it's puntastic. You can buy it here-->http://www.bloodisthenewblack.com/
That's it for now. Till later, stay pretty.

LASER SHARKS!!!!

not much to say other than

The most dangerous creature in the sea. SEcond only to the rare laser giant octopus.

I told my mom i would post more of my own stuff, but now I'm going to post something else

I am in love with these pictures and i don't know why.

The rest of them are here->http://www.booooooom.com/2009/02/23/asako-narahashi/

so they enforce drugs?

I find it really funny that the D.E.A stands for drug enforcement agency. So are they enforcing drugs? Is that it? Because Ithought that, that was what they were supposed to be doing the opposite of. Obviously our government can pay millions of dollars to buy superfluous guns that shoot hacky-sacks, but we can't hire someone with an English major.

every noodle I've ever had has been delicious.

So did you know that it's national noodle appreciation month? yeah i know what you're saying : FREAKING AWESOME! My mom told me this morning, and it pretty much made my day. So everyone go get noodles, and appreciate them, as you slurp them down.

It's also youth art appreciation month so......

There's my art. Appreciate it!
