glittery lake in the sun, your eyes

Cleaning my room today and so I can laze on Sunday afternoon. Had to take a break already. WHY IS PUTTING AWAY ALL MY CLOTHES SO HARD? This is some of my tshirt collection. How cool is this guy? One of Mum’s old hot rod shirts, also as close as I get to camping. I’m watching My Life As Liz on MTV. It’s pretty funny, I like her. Before the show came out someone at work said that I’d probably like this show. Just noticed, the first thing she says at the start is “This is my life“. No wonder I like this show. She also says “MTV made me do this”, cute. BTW have you seen the FORA ads on MTV? Love this one too, 1977 & from New Zealand. This shirt is older than me and still in great condition. (super soft too).  Now that, is quality. Anyone downtown recognize this? Sun was shining really pretty on the island when I came home from work last night.  It was cloudy with little sunny spots, you can’t really see through my camera but I saw it with my own eyes. Trust me. There’s so many distractions around my house. I feel like painting in the sunshine and staring out the window. Gotta remind my damn self to get off the computer and go do something. Not sure what I’m doing tonight. Have an vid of a guy on crutches rapping from something I was at last night. After I clean my room I’ll post it (which could be now or never). Have a great day. Go outside! Read a book!

oops he did it again

Toronto Poster Boy is on the loooooooooooooooooose! He postered me again! Moooohaha. I wonder if you can find it? I know he’s usually around Queen Street and the downtown core. I especially like this one becuase it’s from a post where I wrote “stop working, go home, get outside“.

Just another day out of the ordinary…

some people are dull. some people are boring. some people do nothing. some people waste so much time talking about what they want to do that they never fucking do anything. some people sit on their asses and watch the world pass by never taking in the day. some people…NOT Jon Dube. he is someone interesting. he is someone moving through each day making every little thing new again. refresh. renew. redesign. reinvent. he is rocking the boat and making a path for you to follow. its a guarantee if you live in toronto or have been downtown, you eyes have taken him in already. “the free-ness of these clothes is what turned me on to volcom in the first place, well and all the innuendos you can make about “getting stoned”.. but its the attention to detail and the creative freedom that seems to permeate everything their designers and collaborators touch. check out his work and albums: J’ai Le Bait: A journey through the thought process of crazy mixed up guy.

Hm. Mr. Tapeminatti, who are you?

I received a comment from an anonymous reader… I think Mr. Tapeminatti, who ever he is, has picked up on my interest in his business and is now playing a little game with me. Seems like he/they/whoever, may have ghost written me and now I am intrigued! I further explore the world of this unique media that I see all over downtown. The thing I really enjoy is the mystery behind it all. It’s my favorite type of marketing, the ‘roach-bait’ style. A marketing message delivered by an actor posing as a regular person with the intention of having that message passed along to many others…. “Anonymous said… nice thoughtknow you notfull story got know more than beforebut still no scorelearning evermore the more you seekthe more you seeTapeminatti iscome Unity Tapeminatti does provide these services but is not limited to them.”

a little spray chalk on the sidewalk

i know what tapeminatti is now. I spotted a photograph by Chris Wood and it was of a young gentleman spray painting Tapeminatti on a downtown sidewalk. I discovered that Tapeminatti is the place to go if you want to get your poster or message plastered all over the city. My favorite thing that they do is sidewalk stenciling. It is done on any public property using only water-soluble spray chalk. It is most frequently done outside clubs or on busy streets in the downtown core. It’s cool because they use chalk which is water soluble and can be used on walls or over existing posters. I reckon it makes for a very cool effect and unique campaign. I envision my name plastered and painted across the whole city…. The services offered are street postering, event flyering and retail campaigns. On the website there is a variety of media including music and heaps of interesting videos and documentaries. There is an illuminati connection in the documentaries. It is interesting because Tapeminatti prefers to keep a bit secret too. I enjoy mystery. I like to find clues.
