New Favorite Print Shop: Steady Print Co.

Posted on by

I buy a lot of art, The most I have ever spent on art was about 100 dollars. If I see something that I like I will buy it. It is sort of a terrible impulse that I have. And most art on the internet is sold through paypal, and I know my paypal login and password. So without even having to go get my wallet, type in some Credit Card numbers. I can enter in my login and password and boom, a month later, art is at my doorstep. This happens a lot also, I will receive a package and have no idea what it is.

Anyways, I just came across these kids, Steady Print Co.. They are based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which is cool, I guess.

I don’t normally like text on my art, or words actually. They have some really good word based art. Two of my favorites are:

You can get both of those prints for only $30 dollars, I think thats a steal. One critique of the site, is that I would like to view all of the posters. I wouldn’t normally click on each poster to see it, but because I would looking for the top one, I had to click through them all. Prices at the top also.

Buy em here.

Cleaning up Website

Posted on by

I had some free time this weekend and started to work on this website. I had used this website as a test bed for some wordpress plugins and other things. First thing i did was go through the db and delete anything that I thought wasn’t related, or was installed and not un-installed. I like having a clean db, and this worked out well and was easy to do. I have some experience in what is needed and not needed, so it was easy for me to do. But I don’t recommend that you do this. I didn’t even backup the db! I then updated the WordPress to the 3.0 beta 2 and initialized the 2010 theme.

The next thing I did was delete some folders and files that I know aren’t being used. I found an old Gallery2 installation and transfered the albums folder locally. I then deleted the whole folder, it took some hours to do over ftp. After that I created a Gallery category and a gallery page. I did this so I can customize the gallery page, and make it look more like a photo gallery than a blog. I started uploading some of the albums from gallery2 and was looking at how WordPress uses the image and galley features and customizing it using a child theme. I have never done this before, so it took some time to do. I was going to write my own function to grab the first image from a gallery, but apparently Wordpress already made one for me in the 2010 theme! So, I just had to copy and paste, I didn’t fine this until about an hour after I was working on my own. There doesn’t seem to be many websites talking about this, so I am going to change that later today on my tips for wordpress website.

Its lunch time, Talk to you later

I’m Cuttin Muh Her

Posted on by

It is finally happening. The day I have been waiting for, for at least two years since I started growing my hair. I am going to be cutting my hair. Don’t be sad, this is going to be a joyous occasion. In honor of Mellissa and Justin, I am going to be donating my hair to the Beautiful Lengths program. Which will turn my hair into a wig, for someone who is going through cancer treatment. I am going to be raising money with st baldricks who donate there money to some of the best cancer research people out there.

I don’t expect to make a million bucks off of this, but it would be great if I did. I am tired of looking like a hippy and guys thinking that I am a girl. I have a special prize also for whoever donates the most money. A jaws wave print, signed by shepard fairey himself.

I am going to actually be cutting my hair on April 3, 2010.

Please help and donate here.
