this post is dedicated to EARL GREY TEA
the SOLE reason why, after 26 hours of intimate relations with adobe illustrator
i am still mildly conscious while writing this.
you should have heard the conversation i tried to have last night.
vocabulary of a 5 year old.

six ways to kill your boredom today:

ONE
make your own screen for t-shirts and stop paying ridiculous amounts of money for simple ass designs...and yes, i'm talking to you.


TWO
Tread david byrne's survival guide to actually making a living off your music.
[i'm still a staunch believer in the owning-your-own-label notion]


THREE
school yourself on up-and-coming contemporary african [you know..."black"] artists before you get schooled by someone else.


FOUR
peek into the sketchbooks of some amazing artists. seriously. you have to see this.


FIVE
re-read the sixteenth amendment and begin to wonder why on earth you still pay taxes.


and SIX
watch an online animation on the cycle of manufacturing, consumption and disposal and start questioning your habits.
