GOING BANDIT

“This is what it means to be an adventurer in our day: to give up creature comforts of the mind, to realize the possibilities of imagination. Because everything around us says no you cannot do this, you cannot live without that, nothing is useful unless it's in service to money, to gain, to stability. The adventurer gives in to tides of chaos, trusts the world to support her - and in doing so turns her back on the fear and obedience she has been taught. She rejects the indoctrination of impossibility.”

This blog is going to be shape shifting soon. Explain more later.

What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear; that means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it.

This is Richard Hayne, President and CEO of Urban Outfitters. He’s also a supporter of Rick Santorum and donated over $13,000 to him. He’s against gay marriage and abortion. His company pulled a pro-gay shirt back in 08, they also blatantly ripped off an Etsy designers work, featured a t-shirt for women that said “eat less” and most recently had a card with a “tranny” slur on in. Why do you shop at this store? I imagine because you weren’t aware of these facts. Now you are, so stop shopping there.

Is it too early to be thinking of valentine’s day? I don’t think so! I spent my morning making this tie for my special someone! I got the pattern from purlbee, and added some embroidery!

This is what I want to be like when I grow up.

Lewis Thornton Powell… even if he was a conspirator.

[Submitted by agaroux]

He was one of four people hanged for the Lincoln assassination conspiracy, which makes him a pretty bad dude. However, you cannot deny he was pretty darn good looking. Ah, why must it always be the bad boys…

March 30th 1987, we were born.

January 18th 2012, we were both disgruntled about not ‘making’ enough. Not dedicating enough time to being makers, and feeling as though our identities as such have been removed. 

January 20th 2012, we’re taking them back and asking you to join us along the way.

I posted this before awhile ago. But I still love it. It is so great. Animation by David Shrigley. I wish this was a morning cartoon.

GIVEAWAY #2

YOU. gouache and ink on paper. 9”x12”

I made a series of these “YOU” drawings as a way to get myself more aquatinted with using color in my work. These are original drawings, not prints. Drawings retail for $35 in my Etsy shop, but if you’d like to get one for free just re-blog this post as much as you’d like and I will post the winner on January 24th.

Having a happy and peaceful day off. I sit on the couch drawing on scratchboard. To my left--two black poodles, sleeping like babies.

Fridays Boston metro - I was given the incredible opportunity of designing an ad for occupy boston, and here it is in print! I'm feeling so deeply blessed.

“Most people assumed that once Occupy Boston was evicted from Dewey Square, their tents – the most visible tool of their public protest – would vanish.  Within the movement, however, a group has formed to make sure that this doesn’t happen – albeit on a much smaller scale.”

[goingbandit-blog]

yayy!
