Juicing it!

So I wasn't the only person who had this idea, I guess it runs in the family.

Recently my grandpa gave my family a boatload of plums which we all couldn't eat quickly enough. Also, we just recently inherited a juicing machine. Two and two came together and PLUM JUICE was made.


The sweet and tasty juice has a thick tomato juice-like consistency.

I suppose it was meant to be.

The Hall Collection

So it's been four nights in the making, but once I started I just couldn't stop at just one.

Thursday night I posted my first Annie Hall themed poster. This was originally planned as a one time deal, but the good quotes kept coming and the images started flying.

I now present my 6 part series of Annie Hall inspired posters.

Worlds collide

Ever since my motocycle accident I have been in need of a new seat for my bike. Mine has some rips in it that are disguised with faux leather and thread. So I have been looking at seats online for a while, especially cafe style seats with little luck.....

In a different section of my life, I have been looking at replication and how to use fiberglass with my Rocketeer Helmet project....

Ok so motocycles, helmets, yea they go together but I don't see the connection.

FIBERGLASS you turkey!

Well it turns out that aside from making helmets and ricer car hoods out of fiberglass, you can pretty much make anything you want, even custom bike seats. Say what?! Oh yes, it's actually quite simple (skip the engine photos)and will save me over $150 purchasing a new seat. The only difference is that it will be more time consuming, and maybe a little lopsided. I'm willing to live with it.

Isn't it great when you make something, just for the sake of making it? This helmet has essentially no purpose other than to be made. Yet, the skills it took to make the helmet come back in full swing to benefit my life. Awesome. Learning things is awesome.

Line?

So 5 minutes ago I was researching on YouTube for the text in my next art piece. It is of Jeff Goldblume in Annie Hall and his famous one liner of ".... I forgot my mantra." All online scripts and folks reminiscing about the joke online, such as myself, have all been posting it incorrectly. Most text versions of this scene have either a "hello?" in front of the line, or just nothing. First of all, he does not say hello in this scene at all. I have listened to it over and over, and I want to go on record to be the first to write what Mr. Goldblume clearly says.....

"Mr. Sudeikis, yeah, I- I forgot my mantra."

There you have it. He is actually speaking to his guru named Mr. Sudeikis. Glad I got this all cleared up, but to be honest I probably won't include that "Mr. S" part in my art piece.

Flash back

I stumbled across an Etsy page that I have fallen in love with. For others who are stuck in the 'past that you never knew,' this is the page for you. It's called Avant Garage and it is a collection of retro.... everything! But mainly things to add class value to your everyday life.

Lots of items, take a gander(after the jump).
