L7 Fast & Frightening Quote

As I’ve shared my love for empowering 90’s grungey bands, L7 (who recently reunited, woo!) was one band that was on rotation in my CD player for a long time. They’re straight up badass women who prove stereotypes are wrong when it comes to the idea of women being “fragile” and “weak”, especially in the rock world known as the “boy’s club”. They’ve made so many shocking headlines (I was going to insert a link, but they’ve had so many shocking moments that there are too many moments to single out just one moment from one link…what?). They basically had a lot of “unlady-like” 🙌 moments. Okay, I’ll stop with the “air quotes”.

This To That // Gwen Stefani Pants

Gwen Stefani Settle Down Pants

Let me take a quick second to tell you about one person that inspires me to no end. But you can probably already guess since her name is in the title. Yea, Gwen. I’ve already written about how much I love No Doubt, but I probably will mention it a lot more in the future. Fair warning here.

Anyway, as a lot of Gwen fans can probably share, she’s the reason why I started taking sewing seriously. I went from sewing clothes for my Barbies, to wristbands (I sewed a lot imitating Gwen’s arm accessories during the Rock Steady era), to sewing shirts for myself, and I can’t stop. I have been for years inspired by her cool style and she inspires me to try to be cool with my style. I don’t know if it’s working, but I do what I can.

Courtney Love Doll Parts Quote

Working on my typography game, I chose a quote this time around by the Hole song Doll Parts.
These are lyrics that I’m sure a lot of girls can relate to. Not only do I feel for it, but it’s also quite the visual quote which made it fun to work with.

Surfing The Music Wave ~~~

Posted on

Surf Rock

Making mini music lists is becoming a thing I’ve been enjoying. Picking a topic and rolling with it via Youtube, BAM. Mini music list.

Any of y’all fans of surf rock? It originated in the 60’s influenced by the surf culture under the California sun. It’s a sound that I thoroughly enjoy – that electric guitar and reverb gets me. I adore it.

Talking Heads Quote

I’ve been wanting to step up my typography game. I went to college for illustration, and 95% of my professors taught us to stay away from typography in our art. We were free to experiment with type if we wanted, but it wasn’t recommended. So most of us never did.

I love graphic design and typography and have always had a huge interest in fonts, but I also enjoyed learning about illustration and how to further enhance my skills so I went to school for that. There was a weird superiority competitive aura between the fine art students, illustration students, and graphic design students, and for whatever reason the school found it wasn’t necessary for any of those three majors to interweave, we unfortunately weren’t given the option to learn more and experiment with fine arts or graphic design. I really wanted to learn more about type, and the one class we were required to take that “taught” typography was just crap, if I could be honest.

The Best Of The Reunited

Kat Bjelland of Babes in Toyland Fan Art

The past five years have been a big deal for older bands reuniting, and I’ve been lucky to have attended quite a number of shows I would have never imagined would happen. As a music lover, and especially a lover of the 90’s, it’s been an exciting bunch of years for my beloved 90’s bands resurrecting.

Here are some bands I’ve had the pleasure of seeing.

Sign language art

So I believe everyone has a right to their own opinion on art. Duh. Everyone has a different aesthetic that attracts them. Not everyone enjoys the same art. I can say this many different ways and they will always be true obvious statements.

The Respectful Name Game

Posted on

About two weeks ago I was walking down a busy street full of shops and restaurants, and I passed a group of young folk whom were singing Cecilia by Simon & Garfunkel. Aside from humming it for days since it was stuck in my head, I went on a kick collecting songs featuring names. In this first batch I collected some of my favorite songs featuring prefixes and I would like to share them with you!

Day Trip To A Certain ‘Shmarkopoulo’

Posted on

I took a trip yesterday with my uncle and the baby to visit his parents. They don’t live too far away – they’re still in Athens. Like, “suburban” Athens. Suburbia in Greece is so much different than what you would imagine. Not even close to the cookie-cutter image you may be thinking of.
But anyway, I haven’t been to that house in eleven years.
