SPRAY PAINT THE WALLS!!!










a call to ARTISTS!!!!! we are surrounded and confronted by corporate advertising all along streets and corridors: BIG FAKE SMILES promulgating some shitty restaurant, silly suited, under-paid assholes standing on street corners shoving signs in your face about a fucking sports bar. SO MUCH USELESS CRAP!!!
 
so, here is some ocular stimulation that was made by your neighbors, parents, children, friends and coworkers.
 
Often times cities will allow local artists to paint electric boxes, and other eyesores...   
     
and not too far from this spot some one took it upon themselves to spread good word:

and here we find another city sanctioned public display:
 
and then not more than 10 ft away, another artist's spray effort:
so much space:

once my favorite piece in town, now defaced, it read "dismantle the corporate landscape" written entirely in letters recognizable from various corporate logos:  


 
 
all of these were found near and around old town. keep your eyes peeled on the street and you'll find the hidden gems of the parasites of the night. 
i hope none of the artists care, its already on the street, and this is about the cause.... 
with so much free public canvas to use, there's space for us all to claim and reclaim the walls and dumpsters, and park benches, and light-poles, so take some chances and go wheat-paste, spray paint, sticker, or build, in public places, its fun!!! 
my only advice: don't be scared, and don't get caught!!!!

oh yeah, and please no more tags representin you or your crew, make it worth while, this is about creative beautification, NOT separation and mutilation. 

...a show too short...

             
Sunday September 28th, the "nameless as far as i know laporte house" was apparently too loud for some of the neighbors, cats'n'boots played first in the sunken stage room (this house sports a sickly space set-up by the way). Then after a very tetris-style equipment setup from Portland, OR natives, Nurses, they cranked out one song before being silenced due to police interference. Im not sure what's going to happen with the house scene around here, and im needing more info about what else transpired sunday night. did the show go on??? did the cops come back??? will there be more shows?!?!?!! its understood that this world belongs to us, "We have a responsibility to use our abilities to keep this place alive"- ian mackaye, its not just one of us who can take charge, we all must charge together. (not in the plastic sense of course!)
             
    
dorthy gripped the mic for a couple of songs, what a peach...
     
    
    
benny split some spit too:
 
 
this is the only picture i got of nurses before they pulled the plug, enjoy! :
 

love and rock and roll.

Exodus Was Our Fault

Fungus is weird, there's a patch of mushrooms in our front yard beneath the tree that grow, die, and then grow again its so awesome!!!! these pictures however are from brandon and myself searching for useable wood. We found a mushy growing beneath an 'oil catch' piece of fiber board, confined by the wood it grew a bit horizontally, luckily i snapped these photatoes before andrew ran over it with his car. The ants were also accidentally disturbed in our search for wood, we got some video and let them be, it took about 4 minutes for them to move all the eggs. Strange and awesome.

Buy the ticket, take the ride.


Some chums and i took an outing to see GONZO the new movie about Hunter S Thompson. I SAY AWESOME!!!!! See it. That guy was incredible, a character and a freak for sure. Unquestionably one of my favorite inspirations. Here's a couple pictures that maybe fit the model.
 

easy way out.

here's a few random pictures, a spider, a window screen taken at my old house, a bottle, a dedication to my friends at moth house, and another bottle.
