Syndicated

Posted in T-shirts, fashion with tags , , , on June 12, 2009 by alteredlines

Just wanted to give a little blog love to Syndicated Clothing. I just bought a bunch of 3sixteen gear from them. They were out of the size for one of the shirts that I ordered, so they replaced it with a shirt that was more expensive, but kept the same price as the one that I ordered. Now that’s some good customer service! Thanks guys! Much appreciated!

If your looking for some gear, check em out!

Words of Wisdom

Posted in Random on June 2, 2009 by alteredlines

I got this from Sean Woolsey’s Site. I highly recommend you checking his stuff out. He’s pretty ill.

1. Allow events to change you. You have to be willing to grow. Growth is different from something that happens to you. You produce it. You live it. The prerequisites for growth: the openness to experience events and
the willingness to be changed by them.

2. Forget about good. Good is a known quantity. Good is what we all agree on. Growth is not necessarily good. Growth is an exploration of unlit recesses that may or may not yield to our research. As long as you stick to
good you’ll never have real growth.

3. Process is more important than outcome. When the outcome drives the process we will only ever go to where we’ve already been. If process drives outcome we may not know where we’re going,
but we will know we want to be there.

4. Love your experiments (as you would an ugly child). Joy is the engine of growth. Exploit the liberty in casting your work as beautiful experiments, iterations, attempts, trials, and errors. Take the long view and allow yourself the fun of failure every day.

5. Go deep. The deeper you go the more likely you will discover
something of value.

6. Capture accidents. The wrong answer is the right answer in search of a different question. Collect wrong answers as part of the process. Ask different questions.

7. Study. A studio is a place of study. Use the necessity of production as an excuse to study. Everyone will benefit.

8. Drift. Allow yourself to wander aimlessly. Explore adjacencies. Lack judgment. Postpone criticism.

9. Begin anywhere. John Cage tells us that not knowing where to begin is a common form of paralysis. His advice: begin anywhere.

10. Everyone is a leader. Growth happens. Whenever it does, allow it to emerge. Learn to follow when it makes sense. Let anyone lead.

Nothing against the companies that these where placed in, either the names or places seemed to fit in with the message that I was going for. Everything put up was non permanent and easily removable.
My hope is that whoever found them, they got it.

Words Make Worlds

Posted in Designs with tags , , , , on May 12, 2009 by alteredlines

words-hurt

We often are so focused on ourselves that we tend to neglect those around us. Never realizing the power of our words and often never taking ownership of our actions. It’s amazing how the littlest things can effect our day. I’ve heard it said that we tend to blow out others candles to make ours grow brighter.

Decorate The Planet

tracts-004

I’ve been making a lot of these little cards lately. I leave them about in my travels. The money, power, respect works well in ATMs, I put a reap what you sow in McDonalds (had a chuckle over that one). I’ve always loved street art, but felt morally conflicted with it. Back in the day this was no problem, whatever’s clever, FTW and all that.
I tend to put these up with masking tape or just hanging about. It’s street art that you can take home with you. I like the impermanence of that, as nothing in this world lasts forever. The gears are churning on how to make the experience more interactive… I let ya’ll know what I come up with.

The Guardian Bee

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , on May 8, 2009 by alteredlines

As I sit on my balcony, committing slow suicide one puff at a time, staring down the guardian bee of the unseen hive. He hovers there staring me down. Occasionally darting off to remind invaders of his airspace that this is a no fly-zone.

Obey

obey-01I was in Harvard Square today and happened upon some of Shepard Fairey’s work. Although typically his style has not generally been my thing, I was quite impressed seeing his work in person. Add to that, there’s always something magical about finding art in an unexpected place.
Good street art has always been able to make my day.
