My rendition of a 3,700+ year old Sumerian call to talk smack “We will insult each other, insult for insult, curse for curse, man to man shall curse!” (in ingin indubdubunden ash ashgin lu lu’u hendabale). From the composition “Eduba D” or “Scribal Activities,” after which a long list of nasty insults ensue. #cuneiform #sumerian #smacktalk #ancienthistory #whatsoldisnew #midwestartist

My rendition of a Sumerian proverb with perhaps the world’s first known reference to the eye roll at 3,700+ years ago. “As long as he does not abandon boastful speech, the words will make my eyes roll” (enabishe’am ka silim shuma nundabdada inimbi igi ningin mabtume). Sounds about right! #cuneiform #ancientknowledgeformodernliving #antiquedecor #whatsoldisnew

This is my rendition of a famous Old Babylonian Akkadian letter detailing grievances against the Ur merchant Ea-Nasir written by an individual named Nanni. Alongside of it on the right is the ancient original, four at the city of Ur and currently in the British Museum (photo credit the British Museum). Ea-nasir was active in the overseas trade of copper with the inhabitants of the island of Dilmun (modern Bahrain) in the Persian Gulf. Today the letter has acquired a bit of a cultic following as a timeless encapsulation of customer dissatisfaction. Nanni’s disbelief towards Ea-Nasir’s contempt for his messengers and his willingness to send him poor quality copper ingots elicits the memorable question “Who do you take me for, that you would treat me so contemptuously?” #unexpectedart #whatsoldisnew #antiquedecoration #texture #customerservice #atlasobscura #instaceramica #cuneiform

Fun fact about your man, E. This is kinda brand new to me. It isn’t, but it is. Back in the day I was into Brand Nubian, EPMD, BDP, Public Enemy, Tribe Called Quest, pretty much all east coast hip hop. THEN I ended up in L.A., living with a lifelong friend going to M.I., who got me deep into Paco DeLucia, Sexteto Mayor, Philip Glass, Chick Corea, Bireli Lagrene, John McLaughlin, Trilok Gurtu, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, etc., and I became this INSUFFERABLE music snob. I mean I was a total DICK about it. I’d closed my own mind and ear to it, thinking it was just some booty-shit wannabe gangsta bullshit. It was YEARS before I listened to what folks might call “mainstream” music. Hell, I’d shunned rock n roll for years too. Mind you, I grew up on rock, metal, and punk. But lately since live overseas, I have had a yearning for AMERICAN music, something that was decidedly American. Not only American but I wanted to feel Los Angeles, HOME. I’d lived in L.A. more than half my life. I got there after the Navy just 2 days after the riots of 1992. What better than Dr Dre’s The Chronic?? I’m CRAZY about this. It’s playing in my headphones all day everyday now. #drdre #drdrethechronic #whatsoldisnew #atasteofbackhome #ilovelosangeles #losangelesismycity #homebehome #drdreandsnoopdogg #westcoastrap (at Wanitakashiro, Otsu-shi) https://www.instagram.com/p/COfvlRWJUes/?igshid=rooz3uqv3cpv

Horse and Anchor custom order. A client contacted me asking if I could turn his grandfather’s old military duffle bag into a more usable travel bag. He also specified that I utilize the grommeted top of the duffle, it’s handle, pockets and shoulder straps. Here is what I came up with. There was enough left over to make an additional tote. So, if you have a relative’s old duffle kicking around and want it transformed in something you can use daily, hit me up. #horseandanchor #custom #bagmaker #specialorder #whatsoldisnew #reborn https://www.instagram.com/p/CG0Spa1jsIq/?igshid=146swbmkq9ve9
