So, a recent purchase via iTUNES has brought on another dominator of my iPOD, this being the band BLACK ELK. It is helping with my recent paranoia about many things as well as drowning out all of the assholes on the train and making the rat race about an inch from bearable. If you remember a band called WADSWORTH, also from Portland, you will recognize one of the guitarists. Erik was always a funny guy to listen to. They have some pretty awesome illustrations going for merch and show promotions as well. Beats the crap out of the checker-boarded white rimmed sunglasses skinny tied eighties shit that is infiltrating band merch design lately.
Anyhoo, one more day of work until we board the blue meanie and head into the great white north for some much needed non-colorado time. That is all for now, until next time COURAGE.
Always a six, never a nine.

Whilst on holiday in the Northwest, AKA Seattle. We were able to take in a great piece of news anchors are the new insurance salesmen.
I came across Stephen Balleux via designiskinky.net. Pretty interesting work, but my favorites, of course are the distorted figures in the suits. Go figure. Well, it is off to the grind again. Until the next time, COURAGE.
Preventing the process of being taken to the cleaners.
15 awful mistakes… is a link that was found via changethethought.com as well as the denver egotist. I know that these are all issues that I’ve dealt with or are currently dealing with both my freelance as well as the day job. Very interesting information, though it is focusing on apparel design, I believe it spans the majority of design work.
I Agree….NO! I Disagree…
Today is the first day back to the grind since returning from our vacation. Good thing it is going to be hot and miserable and it is tuesday to boot. Maybe I can hire a midget to occasionally punch me in the crotch throughout the day to complete this oh so lovely experience. I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later.
I’ve posted all of our photos from the Seattle excursion on the FLICKR account. Well, time for the morning weep before heading to the train for the day job. Until the next time, COURAGE.
You’re living all over me.
We’re still kicking it in Seattle and are having a gooda time. The delete will soon be back in the swing of things. I’ll be boring people with the photos as well, so get ready to come over to the casa de la delete for some rhubarb pie and a three hour slideshow of our trip to the great Northwest. Until then, COURAGE!
North by Northwest.
Instead of crawling into work tomorrow, the wife and I will be boarding a plane to head to Seattle for a few days. I’m looking to front the second wave of something in Seattle, I’m not sure what, but I’ll think of something whilst I’m there. Most likely this will be the last post until the beginning of next week. I know, it is sad, but you can always check out the archives of my mindless crap to hold you over. No worries. Until next time, COURAGE.
I’m a bricklayer, I kill what I eat.
Six-fifty-three on sunday and I’m doing the daily check of email. I’ve got the green light to move ahead on freelance project A, still have to do more work on freelance project B, both of which will be a nice break from the stream of day-job projects that have been rolling in and continue so on a day to day basis.
We’re dropping off the dog in a different state for the week as we’ll be on the move, in vacation mode for a good chunk of the coming week. We’re heading to the land of flannel and coffee Weds. morning, which shall be fun. Until then it shall be packing and prep work.
As for the posting of THE HAMMER PARTY album cover, I’ve always thought this was a great cover not to mention an amazing album. Who can’t tap their toes to “THIS IS TEXAS” and “Dead Billy”? Speaking of which, there might be some future projects themed by such songs. Stay tuned for that.
That is all for now, until next time….COURAGE.
