Psycho Killin’ Type

Posted on

Talking Heads Quote

I’ve been wanting to step up my typography game. I went to college for illustration, and 95% of my professors taught us to stay away from typography in our art. We were free to experiment with type if we wanted, but it wasn’t recommended. So most of us never did.

I love graphic design and typography and have always had a huge interest in fonts, but I also enjoyed learning about illustration and how to further enhance my skills so I went to school for that. There was a weird superiority competitive aura between the fine art students, illustration students, and graphic design students, and for whatever reason the school found it wasn’t necessary for any of those three majors to interweave, we unfortunately weren’t given the option to learn more and experiment with fine arts or graphic design. I really wanted to learn more about type, and the one class we were required to take that “taught” typography was just crap, if I could be honest.

Current Style Inspirations

Posted on

I’m not fashion obsessive, and I never know what’s trending. I’m pretty oblivious to what’s going on in the fashion world. I honestly still wear clothes that I bought ten+ years ago. With that said, I do check out some fashion blogs time to time.

Maybe talking about style as opposed to fashion is the better term to use. I don’t think I have a specific style, and I don’t think a specific style attracts me. I pick and choose what I like which inspires me to make and customize everything I own or want to own. As long as it’s fun and comfortable, I’m happy.

The Best Of The Reunited

Posted on

Kat Bjelland of Babes in Toyland Fan Art

The past five years have been a big deal for older bands reuniting, and I’ve been lucky to have attended quite a number of shows I would have never imagined would happen. As a music lover, and especially a lover of the 90’s, it’s been an exciting bunch of years for my beloved 90’s bands resurrecting.

Here are some bands I’ve had the pleasure of seeing.

Artistic Aesthetic

Sign language art

So I believe everyone has a right to their own opinion on art. Duh. Everyone has a different aesthetic that attracts them. Not everyone enjoys the same art. I can say this many different ways and they will always be true obvious statements.

The Respectful Name Game

Posted on

About two weeks ago I was walking down a busy street full of shops and restaurants, and I passed a group of young folk whom were singing Cecilia by Simon & Garfunkel. Aside from humming it for days since it was stuck in my head, I went on a kick collecting songs featuring names. In this first batch I collected some of my favorite songs featuring prefixes and I would like to share them with you!

Five Features From The Spice Girls Front

Posted on

Spice Girls Gif

You know, I really feel kids today are so unfortunate for missing out on the Spice Girls scene.
Not too long ago I was out and about at a certain dinner event with friends. The majority of the crowd ranged from 15-19 years olds, and then there was the small group of us that were over age 24. A whole lot of songs from today’s mainstream were performed which all the young girls were loving. As the show was finishing up, the last song played was Spice Girls’ number one hit. I’ve never seen such a quiet crowd; Wannabe always gets the crowd going no matter where you are, but not here. The young girls were not amused, or maybe they just had no idea what song this was and it made me feel old and sad. (I imagine older generations feel the same way about their beloved songs.)

My Summer Jam

Posted on

I have a love/hate relationship with summer. I love being able to wear lighter clothing – t-shirts, my athletic shorts I find oh so comfortable, and my fun light-weight oxfords. I appreciate lack of snow, and sunny comfortable days to walk around and enjoy myself.

Classic Souvlaki

Slowdive Gif

One thing about this time difference that bothers me is that I was anxiously waiting yesterday for Pitchfork to post their latest episode of Pitchfork Classic which was about Slowdive’s Souvlaki album. Being seven hours ahead, I unfortunately was asleep when it was posted, so just know this post was intended for yesterday.
