Go Carting

So you ever wonder what happened to those old shopping carts with the instructions on the kid seat? Well I was helping a friend move and low and behold in the basement of her building was this shopping cart with the most absurd illustrations how to use the shopping cart with child in tow. Being the stickler for blatantly obvious opportunities to ridicule such non-sense I took it upon myself to... ahhem... elaborate...

before...

and after...

Some day young children everywhere will thank me for enriching their lives with another cynical t-shirt.

If only their parents were as Sane as I!!!

Step into the A.M.: Resurrecting Tennis Shoes

I just finished my Air Flight 89 refurb project Nascar style. This project took way too long to finish. They are painted and airbrushed. I left my air brush at a friend's house for months thinking I would airbrush them. Then in the absence of my airbrush, I started playing around with paints and found the mixed-media to be pretty cool and easier to work with.



I always had this obsession, as a kid, with the phrase 'spic and span' and never could figure out where it came from. Obviously when I was old enough to learn about the brand of cleaning products it made even less sense. I'm not a huge Nascar fan but the advertising is so gaudy and blatantly consumerist, it's almost excusable.



I've got some other ideas and favorite color schemes and slogans to play off of... I have to go find some more beat up shoes, before I go full out on brand new kicks!

So in the wake of my first e-commerce success I find out that Red Bubble, keeps 99% of the sale... on a $23 shirt I get $3... that's not a fair trade for international exposure! I changing channels to etsy!!! Duh!

I love my new shirt, just printed this early today (now yesterday)...



Now that the school year is over I am fully embracing the artists clock, it has 16 hours! Acting took me there, now making stuff will keep me there!
