fArt School F(r)iends!

Okay, this design is unimpeachable. Simple, legible, relates strictly to point83 hipster dickheads and not dead-baby mutants, and lacks all manner of photoshop filters. This card is the epitome of purist shite. ENJOY IT OR STFU.

Whole E Schitt

Somebody liked one of my designs. So this is the suggested back for it, a bandaged arm. Fitting I think.

It's been an interesting process, coming up with these designs. It's been so long since I did anything "creative" that I shared with anybody else, I found that I was VERY invested in how other people felt about the submissions. I was taking the relative silence very personally.

In face, I've been taking a great many things personally. My sense of injustice has resurfaced or perhaps found new emphasis. This is both fascinating and frustrating. I'm quite certain that it correlates to the fact that I have not sat over a month. Time to get back to the cushion, I think.

Added an alternate font version.

Not cool enough.

This is the last one I'm submitting. I give up.

Time on my hands...

...for more spoke card designs!

More lame ideas for spoke cards.

Spoke card

This is a very quick shop of my idea for a Point83 spoke card.

Not great, but it's my first one.

So, what's it gonna be?

What the hell does one blog about? Everything? More to the point, what the hell CAN one blog about? Answer: whatever it is that you blog about. So I'm going to do what most everybody else does and just think "out loud" via the computater and let it out in a jumbled mess.

Blogs are like everything else, a representation of the collection of ideas that we have banging around in our skulls. Then other people's collections of ideas come to be buffeted by them. It's all very abstract.

Anyway, there are a few things in my life that are worth writing about (as in everybody's lives). My main interests are Zen (a very difficult topic to talk about meaningfully), bikes (a bit easier), language (I LOVE foreign languages) and my lovely lovely wife (who gets mentioned last so that you'll remember her!). Ultimately all of this stuff (and ALL stuff universally) is connected, but I don't know how to fully extricate and expound upon it, so there will be a lot of cross-referencing to keep you entertained (or whatever). Also, there will be a lot of parenthetical references (because I like them).

I also like to play with language and I will doubtless make many totally deliberate and voluntary (and involuntary) typos, misspellings and grammatical catastrophes.

This is kind of like a manifesto, only it's not. It's also a definitive and vehement statement (or something, whatever). It's at once a warning and an excuse for my expression! How versatile of me!

Finally, it's a total MESS. How can you read this? Are you reading it? Are you hungry? I am, Ima (oh! there's one!) go to the grocery and all that.
