Threadless

I came across this mini documentary made by Motherboard, looking at the workings of t-shirt company threadless.


I had no idea it was a community based thing, I thought it was just really great t-shirts.

Speaking of, i love this t-shirt design

Look at this, its the most amazing thing in the world ever...

I did not know that Sharpie had a blog, but they do and it is fascinating!! Look at all the lovely things you can do with these markers!!

Its like art attack on the internet, actually after this I think I'm going to see if art attach are on the internet.

Why you should keep your pitches simple

Christmas Clothes for Raging Bull

Modica's Charging Bull sculpture was this Christmas decked with a hand crafted knit coat by renegade knitter Agata Oleka.


Unfortunately it was removed by authorities within 2 hours.

Happy Christmas

I like this

Sigh, this is the type of detail drawing I would love to draw.

Phil Ashcroft

I love these paintings by Phil Ashcroft, I saw them first on FFFound and had to look them up

“Combining influences from abstract expressionism, British landscape painting, Japanese woodcuts, and graphic street art, Ashcroft integrates varied visual styles to generate a crossover between space, object and environment.”

My favourite festive past time

Knitting!

Some of my absolute favourite free knitting patterns are available here at vintage purls

Last Christmas I knit up this lovely cardi in four ply. It took ages but is totally worth it.

Its just so funny!

Wait, there are words, I have opinions on this

The rubberbandits

They deserve respect, their song 'Horse Outside' is funny and catchy and is very successful on Youtube.

It was filmed in Limerick (Milford, Castletroy I know because I saw them at it, and I also know that they went to Java's for pints afterwards)
It features Limerick people

And importantly it provides a social commentary on the situation in Limerick.

Areas in Limerick are the more deprived part of this little nation and have been since 1991!!! Thats coming up on 20 years! (and bear in mind we had a feck load of money floating around for a good 10 years during the boom so you cant say its because we are poor that this was allowed to happen)
Limerick is the most illiterate area in the state.

It was very convenient for the powers that be to turn a blind eye to the injustices in the city, and for the media to portray Limerick as this terrible case that people should avoid for your safety.

Rubberbandits are reflecting these issues back onto the media and doing so with humor and some really classy dancing

The Irish Times have a glowing ">article about them today

And this clip is from Wednesdays RTE radio1 Liveline

Happy Christmas

I love Sufjan

There are no words

Podcast Radio

Podcast Radio, like pirate radio but you don't have to deal with the high seas (tee hee hee, I know I crack myself up)
And importantly your not breaking licencing laws

So yeah have a listen to this lovely podcast from Seamus and his new friends at 'mouse never sleeps'
