i love to see older folks embracing new technology, or at least current technology. This guy was reading the paper for a while then got a call or a text or something brought his attention to his phone. He pulled it out of his pocket and held it at good distance, almost in reverence of its power. Delicately looking at the screen to see what it was saying. Gently hitting touching the keys in the order he had spent so much time memorizing with his grand daughter who had taught him how to use ti to surprise the rest of the family. It was easy to tell he was still more comfortable in the analog world, HE had two breast pockets stuffed with analog devices. the right breast pocket crammed with writing utensils of yore; a plethora of ball point pens and mechanical pencils. In the pocket, a pocket sized journal and some envelopes that didn’t quite fit and jutted up above the pocket line. The corners of which would scrape his chin when reading the lower portions of the paper and he had to crane his neck downwards to read. He was a man who believed in the power of the pocket, evidenced by his fisherman’s vest, which is little more then two or three hundred pockets all sewn together into and wearable shelving unit. the hoarders enabling device.

After a long day of mothering, booger sits down to do some work at the computer. Tired and ready for bed who wouldn’t want to knock a few hours of package design out?

Bacon X Rath:
bacon x rath: Rath Ups Cod 3a
Ive been working slowly and spottily on this idea for a few years now. The idea of combining pieces, and have yet to really commit or propperly prepare a wall to do it the way i see it my head; For one reason or another the right time hasnt presented itself yet, or maybe i havent forced it yet. It started with this in Montreal about 2 years ago with this Re-Run X Rath* pictured at the bottom of post. And Later that year, did this, “rated as Ideated” painful little jawn. IT seems like the more i did it the worse it got, a year ago was this, HeavyXRath.
So this weekend i got back on the fail horse and road out in hopes of doing a decent Bacon X Rath. And as it would happen it was a cool 92 degrees yesterday and the heat Kick the crap out of me. At one point i found myself lying on some concrete that was in the shade, my shirt was up so my back could cool off on the cooler concrete. I drank 2 gallons of water, two 16oz Tropicana Ojs, and a little bit of a Tropicana lemonade, which it turned out was lemon flavored not lemonade so that got trashed. RastaFari is a blessing but the Lox can be an oven in the hot heat and sun parade. There was a lot more background work and top letter integration i wanted to do, but I admitted defeat in the mid evening.
********* the olders…
