I've never been one for designer T-shirts, and I doubt I've ever spent more than $25 bucks on one, but the imagery on label, Allsaints Spitalfields' graphic tees might just convince me to lay down the dough.

With the advent of my tumblr blog: EarthAD, it's time to do something a little different with fmrl4ever....

So, no plan. Let's just see how this evolves.

Thanks.

Grass Roots In Concrete

Years and years ago, a buddy of mine named Adam was in a hiphop band called Apogee. They had a song that contained the lyrics "grass roots in concrete". This is what they meant.

Does this ever happen to you: You see a work of art or several works in the same style and you have no idea who the artist is or what the style is called. Even worse, you google and google with what you think are appropriate search terms but come up empty. Well, that's been happening to me until now, thanks to Reference Library, who recently posted about the Charles and Isabella Edenshaw, two popular Haida artists. Finally!

Below are some examples of Haida and Haida influenced art.

First Non-shelf Project?

2010-02-19T20:30:00.000-05:00

While I imagine the above awesome-wooden-gear-clock was made using a CNC machine, I'd like to think that there is some person somewhere who could build one of these using only a carver's knife.

Either way, the design is beautiful and I'd love to have one of these on the wall, especially if I was the one who made it. Right now, I've got my first three woodworking projects on my plate and they all involve some sort of shelving. Maybe I'll work on one of these alongside the other projects just to keep me from getting bored.

Did you know that the Shakers used to make bourbon? Apparently they made it for the "world's people", a.k.a. non-shakers, so as to bring in a little income to the village. I learned that little tidbit from the Ken Burns series "American Stories", an episode of which focused solely on the Shakers. In addition to that program, I also suggest watching Burn's documentary on Frank Lloyd Wright.
