Day in the ‘burbs
| February 17th, 2009Okay, so I did more (half-assed) shopping today while waiting to hear back if we’ve gotten the house in Portland. Just wandering around the suburbs actually. I bought a shitload of jeans for $15 a pair, and they fit reaaal nicely. I guess the mainstream are sick of skinny jeans already, so they’re all going on super sale. I am skinny and skinny jeans look best on me, so I will probably be wearing them for years to come. So if you’re into ‘em, now’s the time to be searching around for new pairs cos the stores are gonna be stocking the new season and putting a buncha shit on sale.
I bought a couple of books at Powell’s Books today. Hand Job by Mike Perry is my favorite. Anyone that knows me knows I love me some hand-drawn lettering and I think he did a great job with the book. My buddy Travis has a few pages of work in there as well. Normally I like to buy directly from the artist/author/designer if possible, but this was a bit of an impulse buy. Buy the book from Mike’s store here. I still need to get his book of hand-drawn patterns called Over & Over, I just need to reign in the spending before moving. He has cool zines and stuff for sale too. I’ve been trying to do a zine for years, but it always falls to the wayside. Once I’m in my new studio, it’s likely I’ll get around to it.
Other than that, I’m dying to get back home and get back to work. It’s really difficult leaving projects you’re right in the middle of. Hopefully everything goes well, and I’ll be back in San Francisco tomorrow night. Wish me more luck!
