Lately I’ve been into painting. Since I spend a good amount of time traveling on the train, I thought, wouldn’t it be great if I could do some painting while on a crowded subway?.. (more…)

Looks like this weekend is filled with fun activities. I’m looking forward to the zine fest. I might even attempt to produce a zine in the next 48 hours so I actually have something to trade or sell. On Sunday, I’m sharing half a table with a friend, at least I can get rid of some Powered by Gasoline stickers.
Saturday there is a Dr.Sketchys event going on and also Coney Island is showing the Lost Boys.

I guess I best get started on my zine for the big fest this weekend.

Some of you may not know this but I used to sport a healthy mustache. Upon my recent visit back to Portland I was pleased to see BT Livermore, while my contraceptive of a mustache is now long gone, I’m glad to see that he was still sporting his most excellent stache.
One of BT’s latest ideas was the “Mans Face Stuff” product line that he worked on with his friend Evan Dumas. He gave me a sample of this wonderful product, perhaps to entice me to grow my mustache back. The “gin & tonic” sent makes my mouth water and I’m highly considering growing that beast of a mustache back just to use this product.
I think that anyone who happens to be sporting a stache should be using this stuff, this Mans Face Stuff, at least give it a try.

I’m not sure what stores carry their waxes. Currently you can get Mans Face Stuff products online at thier etsy shop

I look forward to seeing their next product for mens faces. Perhaps a soothing shaving cream? A facial mask? Maybe a gentle moisturizer? Who knows….

Maybe I should grow my mustache back…

Yeah that’s me.

The other day while hanging with Carly, Josh and Gabe a small dog wearing a sweater somehow became our topic of conversation. One of those three I think it was Carly came up with the idea that they should make pasties for dogs and cats to cover up the rather exposed pooping part on these animals.
Initially the design involved a pacifier type of device. I later came up with the tail ring design as I find it far less invading to the animal who would be wearing such a device.

In the drawings I’m using a smile face design but it might be nice to put a mirror, clock, piece of art or some other practical design in this thing. Perhaps a nice sparkly diamond would look nice.

If this idea catches on perhaps instead being faced with a pooper, it might be a beautiful image of inspiration.

Tough times are certainly hitting more than the pocket book now a days. Too often people link their mental health to their financial health, this unfortunate fact could put our mentally stable nation at risk as the economy continues to spiral downward.
To combat the emotional depression, I propose a phone service that simply allows callers to tell the person on the other line their woes. The thing is that the person on the other end of the phone will always have it slightly worse than the actual caller…
for instance here is a possible conversation.

Caller: I can’t afford food for my dog.
Service: I had to make food from my dog.

Basically the highly qualified professional phone answerer will appear to be slightly more miserable than the caller. The idea is that after the caller calls, they will feel much better about themselves.

The service would also be offered via a website too where a user could simply type into the computer what ever is troubling them and be greeted with an instant response from the trained professionals.

And to pay for it all you might be wondering… well I thought about that too.. uh.. maybe sell ads to lottery people or something..

This is my attempt to post to mohdi through my iPod. ideally this will allow me to get more ideas out there and work on ideas while in transit an have them ready to post when I hit wireless.
I’m using the wordpress app for the iPod as well type draw and some other free drawing app. I hope to find some other gems for blogging off a pod soon.

The Private Phone Hat or “PPhat” is a simple privacy device so you can freely use your portable devices in the privacy of your own hat. Basically it’s a large tube of stretchy fabric that rests on your head. When you want to check your bank account, type in passwords, email you secret lover or any sort of private device actions this hat extends from your head and wraps around the device you are using. This allows you to use one hand to hold the device and the other can be inserted underneath the fabric barrier to control the device.

The tube of fabric will protect onlookers from stealing your secrets while you are in public places as well make you look like a fancy business person or something.
