38th Street USA: i'm cursed!

i'm cursed!

I'm cursed! I'm not sure why, but no one can ever seem to keep an appointment with me. In my current line of work I don't really have meetings with people or appointments all that often; but seriously either they show up three hours late, or they don't show up at all. WTF!!??! Is it this town? Is it me? I mean, we all have cell phones, right? Why don't you just call and reschedule, cancel, tell me to go to hell, whatever, just don't hang me out to dry. How rude!
In other news, I'm on a marketing crusade. I've decided its finally time to get my head out of the dirt and really market my art. And you know what? It ain't that easy. No one calls you back, people stand you up, email strings just seem to evaporate, and i'd much rather be riding my bike! But, persistance is king...I guess.

Hey...wanna buy a painting?

Also, I will definitely hit the survey, thanks for picking up on 38th Street. Is there a deadline? I'm mad busy this week, so it may be a few days.

Adios!; 12:02 PM

can you dig it?

Thought I'd add a new section to ye olde sidebar. Commodities galore! Also, I've gotta give a big shout out to my girl Heidi for Can you Dig It. She's like a jedi warrior of all things hip and pleasing to the eye. And most of these links are gonna be coming from her. I can dig it, can you?

Over at Cadence Collection you'll find some great designer stuff. They keep it fresh, without getting trendy. Cycling focused, but not a pre-requisite.

This is the only thing I've seen in a while that was actually nice. It's a nice little movie that MissionWorkshop in SF did for their Shed Messenger Bag. Definitely worth taking a look at.

I used to think that snow globes were just boring souveniers from business trips. but these are morbidly excellent.

Currently, my most coveted item can be found here at Chicago WIG . They're completley customizable, and come with lots of strappies!

Here's a groovy little site with lots of plushy things, plastic things, and some pretty nice t-shirts. It's called My Plastic Heart and I likes it!

So Johnny Cupcakes is my current favorite apparel company. Not only cause my girlfriend is a pastry chef, but I just really dig there logo.

How could I talk about cool commodities and not mention Neighborhoodies. Be the first one on your block to rock one. It's fitty dollars that'll make you holla.

Here's a little something for everyone. I know it's a bit outta season, but if you live in Pittsburgh, we're always a bit outta season.

"I love these so much I almost passed out!" -- Heidi Mamula, June 2005. If that's not an endorsement for alex and chloe I don't know what is.

Here's a couple of more links... good toghether is a link i found on small things designs So, go on, check it out and think what you will. And bring these sites your business, the man already has enough of your money.

Extra Extra

I'm just putting this here for the sake of adding something to the Extra Extra. You should follow me on Twitter @jcolethomas. I say some interesting shit sometimes, and hardly post any pictures of my cats.

Just for the record. If you own an X-Terra, I probably hate you.

Also, Tokyo Plastic Is the greatest website ever!

Phase One complete. In case you think this war on terror isn't about oil think again. If you don't know what I'm talking about, do your homework here.

MashSF led me to Fragment Also...verynice.

I know there's a lot of street art out there, glad to see that Pittsburgh is well represented.

There is also some real nice work from NYC here. I remember seeing

Neck Face when I was in San Francisco, and thinking, what the heck is this shit? ...Now i know.

I thought I'd add this right in middle as it pertains directly the Wooster Collective. Take a look at Banksy He's doing some real nice quasi-politcal, anti-capitalist stuff. And I like it!

So, here's a bunch of stuff I wish I woulda thought of.

I did think this article was pretty interesting.

another little slice of lies oh...and here's another slice.

if you think the government doesn't conrtrol what we see think again.
