Bring back things being made beautifully. I’m done with ugly unartistically crafted things.

There is a surprising amount of graphic joy in these Milwaukee transit passes from the 1940s-60s. They were featured in the last issue of ghostsign guru Sam Roberts' excellent BLAG magazine and can be examined in more detail at the Letterform Archive.

I love vintage Ohio University yearbooks. So much. Everything about them is perfect.

I am such an old yearbook geek. It’s a perfect artistically crafted curation of life’s moments. Documentation. It’s brilliant.

I love Ed Ruscha’s work.

It’s just about everything that I love condensed into these magnificent pieces, typography, the weaving together of words and I love his use of colors and shadows in his backgrounds. His work reminds me of old button pins with funny sayings, and in a silly way, I find that current instagram memes are very reminiscent of Ruscha’s art. I love everything about it.

With his other pieces of art (building paintings) I like how he focuses on angles and perspective and color, I find myself doing that too when it comes to my photography.

I just bought his book They Called Her Styrene.

I believe Ruscha and I see the world in a similar way.

Hello people of tumblr. I am but another fish in the sea, another skin cell in the dust if you catch my drift.

An unintentional New Year’s resolution was made and that is that I want to spend this year dedicating my time to what I love. I will be doing this through making art, photography, writing, singing, guitar, collecting everything I love, all that stuff!

Anyways, if you have any similar interests or have a shared whimsical yet realistic hopeful optimistic yet horribly depressed always and tired but still horribly happy to be able to live life and want to connect, hello Party people 🙌

I am rumored to be that of an old soul.

I love philosophy (for the most part existentialism and absurdism) and the different ways of perceiving the outer world and how it translates to the internal world. The ego, being and nonbeing, consciousness, life and death, human anatomy, the history of everything, time, nature, literally just about everything. The way everything coexists amongst itself. If that helps you get an idea of it.

I love music, I love a handful of different genres, picky about modern music but love 1900s-1990s, super into 20s-30s jazz music from the start of swing in 1938 to its big band era of 30s-40s stuff, to the 50s-60s and the 60s-70s psychedelic rock and synth stuff and garage bands and literally everything counter culture ever, 70s-80s from early new wave to punk to electronic and everything else, 80s-90s post punk British indie early grunge,,,, you get the idea.

I also enjoy ambient artists Brian Eno and Harold Budd.

I’m a photographer, everything I see is beautiful, I find beauty in the mundane, the ordinary, the very inter workings of everything, small details, minor things creating the bigger picture. I like a variety of photography yet I am picky. Love vintage vernacular photography, I have a collection of old photos, photobooth photography, glamor shots, yearbook portraits, candid photography, documentary photography, fashion photography, I just love it all.

I paint too. And draw. Oil paintings and led pencil mostly.

Anyways. I love a lot of things. Vintage clothing. Old ephemera. Button pins. Print media. Printmaking. Fabric. Colors. Wood paneling. Too many things to name but I think I will make it a point to name 5 things I love a day. I won’t continue on about what I love because I love a lot. That’s enough.

I love chartreuse …
