KD is an underrated lyricist.... [ ] kevindevine [megaliciousdef] according to Pete Wentz! I'm not a big Fall Out Boy fan (everything post-From Under the Cork Tree isn't that great, in my opinion), but this guy has a pretty big pull in the music industry. apparently, in terms of underrated-ness, jtl>kd>andy hull link: http://www.aolradioblog.com/2009/11/10/pete-wentz-lists-underrated-lyricists/ 4 comments|post comment

[ ] thriftwhore [fasterpussycat] I got this little dish for 99 cents and it's one of my favorite finds. It makes me happy! I got this gigantic painting for $6. Huge. It's 20% creepy and 80% fabulous, in my estimation. What do you think? 11 comments|post comment

nanojoummo- union [ ] jr__nal [letterpressed] NaNoJouMo- Union Originally uploaded by lessherger. I did this image for union. I used it as a technique video as well, you can find it on youtube. I started by putting a THICK layer of white acrylic paint on the background. I scratched into it to write. I used a mask to keep the center area white while I built up layers of color and grunge around it. I then pulled the mask off and added a layer of clear gesso, I could have used white but the clear left the little bits of color that made their way under the mask. I drew the face of the sheep in with soft pencil and white acrylic paint. I then added the original queen of merde image with a dragon from a bacardi ad wrapped around her head. I'm very happy with how this turned out. 6 comments|post comment

some new work [ ] jr__nal [letterpressed] nanojoumo- purity Originally uploaded by lessherger. I get a kick out of all the online "purity" groups. SO when the word purity came up for nanojoumo day 2 I had to lampoon it. The purity "logo" was put online as a purity card for a church gorup. It looks far cooler here than it did on the card. I pulled the card in to MS Publisher, reversed it and resized it to be about 8x10, i then printed it off onto a sheet of transparency film. I put it on the right side of the film this time and used a great deal of matte medium to transfer it to the pages.I had to cut it into 2 pieces to get it on, and I'll tell you the fold was a beast. the original logo was clearly going for a "urban and graf" feel. So the tendency of the transfer to peel and not go completely was a perfect medium to really take it there. I then outlined the letters with my pentouch pen, pressed down to get dribbles and runs. While that dried I looked at hundreds of images of scantily clad women bent over various objects, and quite frankly there are things that can't be unseen. Just the very act of attempting to find the image for the right corner has left my brain irreparably damaged. The things I do for art. I found the perfect picture, of a woman, scantily clad washing a car. I wanted the legs to frame the corner, so I first drew the leg for the right most side in soft pencil, added the crotch area and then the left leg. Next was to mix up some white person flesh tone and layer it over the drawing. I added her thong and it's all set. I blocked in some green coloring to set off the legs. Then I mixed up some gesso really thin and used a liner brush to spatter it on the page... Maybe not the most pure purity page, but it's exactly what popped into my head when I first saw the word as the prompt. ( more pics after the cut ) 25 comments|post comment

Interviews [ ] historyisfun [theaterbrat] I want to interview my 91 year old grandfather about his life and experiences. He is a WWII veteran, so I want to include that as well, but also other general information about his life. He is also a retired fireman, so that is special as well. I've looked at some veteran interview packs, but I also want one that is more general. Any suggestions on where to find these, or suggestions for questions? 2 comments|post comment

[ ] ofmornings [coriandersea] this isn't a real polaroid (i know mari knows this), but from a program. the original photos i took came out too blurry to my liking, but i rather thought they were still nice so i gave them the 'roid treatment and happy with the results. the usual, with an apple cinnamon muffin and a clementine. and green tea. 16 comments|post comment

More Kamera Karma [ ] thriftwhore [poindexter] $4.99 at my local thrift store - this is a Leica Z2X, a KILLER 35mm point and shoot camera. This is my first Leica, I'm curious to see if the lens (a 35-70 Vario-Elmar) lives up to Leica's reputation. Posted via email from poindexter, WHO?
