Badge-tastic

Woo everybody my sidekick ellie has a blog!!!




She also makes awesome badges... fantastic :)

All quiet on the northern front..

Its been a busy transitional period of late for me, moving back home after graduating, applying for jobs etc.. Sooo this all means i have a huge backlog of exciting things to post - so keep all eyes peeled over the coming days and weeks while i catch up! Also finally filled in those annoying gaps on by bag :)

1st, 2nd..

Third place isnt something we might think very worthy of accolade these days.. maybe we never did. Anyhow, i saw this badge and after buying it and wearing it for a while i got to thinking about it a lot (maybe too much) - who got the badge for coming third, and what for? - is it a sign for losing or almost winning? - worn with pride or shame? Either way, it rules.

Ewing

I AIN'T GOT NO SOUL is one of my favourite belongings.. its an 18" x 24" screen print by poster artist Brian Ewing, cost me about $65 and is one of a limited run of 200 signed and numbered pieces. Printed on black paper, it looks pretty rad! Unfortunatly its back home at the moment safely tucked away so i cant photograph it.. but when i ordered it i also got a few more Ewing bits, including this cool badge with detail from IAGNS..



and for all you smokers, 14 days to go!

Next up to buy from this guy is his awesome playing cards...

Seiz Matters

My university years have brought me into contact with many colourful characters - and they havnt come much more colourful than Gui Seiz. The hairy monster has kept me inspired and entertained for 3 years, and i will always be grateful for the help he's given me along the way. From the Friday night Fight nights sat in his kitchen watching the Contender, to font and book swapping, to nipple tweaking on the beach - Gui is rad. He also shares in part my love of the badge and has created some beauties im sharing with you here now... check out his portfolio to see more outstanding work. I think this guy might just be the one from our year to really make it big...

Badge-ism

My oldest friend Alyson knows of my badge-collecting ways and recently sent me this little beauty through the post! Fabric badges are definatly the way forward...but quite uncommon it seems. All 1" pins received with thanks :)
