a new person! LQQK
« on: January 09, 2007, 05:07:34 pm »
hi!

it is unreal to me, how many people are on here. i thought like, a few dozen people tops read 'achewood'. anyway here i am
 
i work at a museum, and also in local show promotion. i'm a fun guy mostly but also prone to being kind of a jerk a little. it isn't unlike me to indulge in bouts of bizarre drunken forumblathering. my favorite movie is 'american graffiti' and my favorite band is ted leo and the pharmacists. here is a picture of a mix CD that i put together to give to my friends in liu of an actual gift for christmas 2002. i commissioned our mutual friend, mr. onstad, to create the cover art. i post this not to show off, but to prove that i am a Knucklehead From Old Times, as opposed to a Huggins-come-lately

Hmm. Pretty convincing.

What kind of museum?  Now I want to think of something I need to commission art work for - how much did it cost?

i work at http://www.fine-arts.org

also, it cost $50 for the artwork and about another $20 at kinko's to crank out dozens of copies of it. of course, this was five years ago, and with chris having a daughter and a boat load of new readers now, i'm guessing it might cost more. also, i make grown people's money now, so i can afford to buy my friends actual christmas presents

I like the cut of your jib if only 'cause I haven't seen some of the privately commissioned stuff in a while.

Exactly, plus there were a few other (now gone) places on the inter-nets where people displayed such early-times things as yours'n.

Aside might be my favorite Weakerthans song. Because basically I'm a sucker for the line "amatuer cartography"

Artists I have heard of on that list: 6
plus, songs I have actually heard: 2
equals, I am totally uncool.

But note, in case any future employer somehow checks my post count for today: NOT posting at work, I am off on Tuesdays.
