Why do we do what we do?
Do you know what the oldest known peices of artwork are? Cave paintings, some dude thousands of years ago who felt the need to leave his mark. Now flash forward to modern day. Look around you. How many large blank areas of wall do you see? Those should all be covered in something. Stickers, gum, posters, and many other possibilities spring to my mind. Not just by my art or anyone's art in particular. I feel it should be covered by everyone's art. Personally my favorite pieces of art I've ever seen are the little battle scenes used to draw in our grade school notebooks. We may have gone and gotten slightly more educated but we're pretty much at that same place mentally. We still watch cartoons more often than regular people our age. We still skate the hills in our neighborhood at all hours of the night. In the immortal words of Andrew W.K., "we do what we like and we like what we do." Admittedly we're not the best at what we do, but we learn from each other and everyone else. Long incoherent rambling aside, that should give you some sort of glimpse inside of our barely functioning heads.

An Incomprehendable Post...
you've lost your mind and what we are saying to you in this message makes perfect sense but you just don't get it... DO YOU!!! So here it goes... just so you know this is all a joke like almost everything we do and this was actually written by someone other than us, I hope you know who wrote it... "I don't like you, and I'm gonna beat you up! NO!!! NO!!! NO!!! I'm tellin, I'm tellin my mom... Beans Beans Beans Jessie had some beans, he was happy, happy, happy and he ate some beans... Naked, naked, naked sitting cross-legged Naked, naked, naked and he was happy, happy, happy and he ate some beans... Wine, wine, wine Jessie had some wine he was happy, happy, happy and he ate some wine... Beans, beans, beans Jessie ate some beans and he drank some wine and he was happy, happy, happy as he drank some beans"
so I hope you've found your mind after reading that beautiful poem, but if you haven't... come up to the peak and see the amazing view we have up here on top of this mountain, I'm pretty sure you'll find it up here... most people do

Stencil 101
- Some sort of artwork for your stencil
- Stencil Material (posterboard, cardstock, cardboard)
- Sharpie Pen
- Cutting Device (Xacto blades, utility knife, razor blade)
- Spray Paint
PAINTING:
Here's the tricky part, this can make or break your design. There are lots of paint choices, Keep in mind that the cheaper a paint is the lower quality it is. Flat paint tends to be a lot better than gloss, its easier to work with and drys way quicker. Montana Gold is a spendy paint but its worth every penny, its a good pressure for stencils and it dries fast.

Dinosaurs MUST Die
Lets start things off with the fact that I by no means have the smallest problem with Rebbecca Black, she's a thirteen year old girl with dreams of being a "Pop star". A very common thing amongst the teen crowd, I've been there and totally understand.
The problem I have is the company behind her new found fame. Just a few minutes of Internet research will give you the scoop about Ark Music Factory. This is a company and so-called record label that provides its services for a reasonable fee. For a a couple grand you can simply buy your success in the music industry without all the trouble of learning how to play an instrument or write a song. GENIUS!
This means you don't have to spend years and years playing shitty clubs and dive bars with minimal crowds. No more having to experience life in order to write a song that comes from the heart. No more people coming up to you after a show to explain exactly why and how you suck at what you love to do. No more riding in a smelly van with a few of your closest friends not even sure if you have enough gas to make it to the next show.
So as a ten year veteran of the local music scene I now look back and wonder if that would have been a good choice for me.
The answer: FUCK NO!
I'm glad for each and every experience I've had at the bottom of the industry. I'm glad I've played shows where just the other bands and their girlfriends are there. I'm stoked I've been pulled over with a van full of underage intoxicated band members. Every time our shitty van had a problem. Every time I've finished playing a set and not one person clapped.
Has it made me a better musician? Far from it. I'm still the same half assed bass player I've always been.
What it has done is made me appreciate a song that was written from the heart. A shitty basement cassette tape that can barely be understood sounds far superior to these multi-million dollar productions that have been pumped out on pro-tools and auto tuned.
Remember here at this point that I'm not hating on the Rebbecca Blacks and Justin Beibers of the world, they are just unfortunate pawns. Brainwashed by the dollar sign they will never understand what it takes to be a real musician. Not everyone can be Pat The Bunny.
