NONtRENDY’s blog

I am trying a series of collage art turned magnets called socio-mags (title may vary).

I'm not sure if I like the title completely. The title of this series will probably change forever. Or until I am lazy and I don't want to worry about the title.

I am starting off with consumerism due to the recession (aka the economy is sucking balls) and the recent distribution of the rebate funds from the stimulus package.

I have been wanting to do a series on cosumerism but I didn't know how to go about it. I then started to gain a little interest in collage art which then somehow transformed (decepticon style) into my consumerism idea, into magnets and then into Socio-mags.

I really might be crazy

My first one is homage to upcoming mother's day consumerism.

(woman's face with flowers as they eyes, nose and mouth)

Used recycled flyer ads from different stores.

These series of magnets will all be available at my etsy store.

Enjoy!

 

I'm heading down to NYC this weekend.

first agenda is to Manhatten (west side) to visit some family

then to Brooklyn to visit a friend.

The friend is cool. As a birthday gift, she gave a "Cunt Coloring Book."

Yes its drawings of all kinds of vaginas to color in.

Educational with some color stimulation.

(unless you are color blind)

((not mocking the color blind!))

 

I've been pretty stagnent on ideas for shirts.

Maybe the trip to NYC will give me some new ideas.

 

I'm listening to Nirvana's Nevermind.

I haven't listen to that album in ages.

I liked Nirvana before Cobain decided the fame was too much/murdered (whatever you believe)

(its ok, I don't like Courtney Love either but I don't know if I believe it was murder)

But don't think I don't like Nirvana now. I still do.

My favorite track on this is probably Lithium.

This brings back lots of memories.

I can hear the crackling of the vinyl which makes it soo much better in my opinion.

I love listening to music on vinyl.

Anyway, someone from my job had a vinyl copy of the album (sound quality is much better than the CD version)

So I told him how much I love Nirvana and he said, oh I'll burn you a copy of the vinyl onto CD.

That man rocks!!!!!!

He's a very cool guy. Knows A LOT about music.

He has met lots of musicians from the Amherst, Northampton area such as Thurston Moore and Jay Mascis

I love the music scene up there in Mass. I think I need to move SOON!

 

Wait, why was I here? Oh yeah Self Portrait Thursday.

 

 

I also have a new shirt I'll be putting up on etsy soon.

 

I was really REALLY hoping I was wrong, but I wasn't

I fucked up my screen.

Stupid emulsion.

I think I know how I messed it up.

But its still frustrating.

Now I have to clean it, and it sounds like it is going to be annoying.

Or I can go and buy a new screen.

But that's annoying too.

So I bring my dog to a socialization/dog play group.

She loves it ok?

People bring kids to places to play with other kids, only I do it with my dog.

ok?

So a dog named Harold (cockapoo) decided to hump my left leg (a couple of times).

He must have an Asian Fetish. 

Asians are pretty hot, if I don't say so myself.

But I am not attracted to Asians.

Does that make sense?

 

I have been wanting to get into screenprinting.

I'm afraid I'll fuck it up.

I probably will.

Maybe this weekend I'll fuck up a screen.

If you're lucky, I'll be able to put something up that I screenprinted on etsy soon.

I appologize for the cheesy pose.

I am cheesy.

And I like cheese.

The end.

 

Newport was fun. The wedding, I was awkward and uncomfortable.

I tuned out the ceremony.

The free food and beer was fun.

I didn't drink much. I never do.

Besides there was way too much food.

The best part, instead of cake, they had cupcakes! They were BANGIN'!

Honest.

They also had chocolate covered strawberries.

Once again, BANGIN'

Honest x2.

I took some newport pictures, but not a lot. I was just enjoying the beautiful weather.

Monday and Tuesday were my vacation days.

I did pump out a shirt or two.

I also took some more pictures.

Check it...

 

 

 

 

The past weekend there was a birthday party.

it was fun.

Here is me having fun

 

I think that's enough.

ta-ta

So I'm going away to Newport, RI this weekend for a wedding.

I don't like weddings. I don't like to be in them, I don't like to go to them.

They make me feel uncomfortable.

But I am looking forward to getting away and checking out Newport.

I'll also come home and have Monday and Tuesday off from work (hopefully focus on etsy a little?)

How come? because I wanted to.

I like the word seriously. Not the actual act (not that there’s anything wrong with being serious) but I really like the word.

 AAAAAAANNNNNNDDDDDDDDD....

my feature is offically out on "A World of Creativity Blog."

http://aworldofcreativity.blogspot.com/

 

She makes me sound sooo cool and unique.

I've never been cool and I don't really look unique (I dress and look plain)

But its pretty cool, so believe the featured blog about me, not me.

I'm cool.

remember that.

 

seriously.

I'm tired. And I won't really be able to rest until next week.

This was my idea for SPT. At first I didn't know what to do.

I was making a growling noise.

My dog (not shown) IS looking at me funny during this time.

But its ok, she still loves me.

so I really don't have the time for a photo of myself for SPT, so I decided to put an obligatory "mini me" photo. If it helps, it MIGHT have been a thursday when this photo was taken.

For an FYI, I was/am obsessed with vampires. I don't know why. And those teeth, my fav growing up. Unfortunately they got kind of gross, even though I was a good kid and washed them out every time I played with them. I also remember they hurt my teeth.

Oh well.

Also I don't put my hair in pig tails for two reasons.

1. I look young enough, I don't need pigtails to make me look younger.

B. I think pigtails make me look more Asian, if that makes sense to you.
