Hi folks - I don't do this very often, but it's Pimping Time (Imagine that last text in a velvet suit and a swooping hat with a feather in it)


Poseur Ink is a small (American) company specialising in COLOUR buttons (badges) at extremely reasonable rates, from your own artwork or from work created by them as required. I've used them myself and the quality and service is excellent.

They also do t-shirt printing, again from your own design or from artwork created by them from spec.

(Being a small arty company with world domination in mind they also publish the occasional Graphic Novel, do bespoke artwork commissions, and also webcomics related merch)

Based on personal use, if you have need of either product, they are professional, helpful and their art and design rocks!

Disclosure: I have recently reviewed Poseur Ink's 'Side B' graphic novel for a small stateside music magazine, and liked it a lot. Even though the review appears to be stuck in pre-publishing hell, their dealings with me have been nothing but professional, friendly and accommodating.

That's pretty much how the make me feel too...

Between poisonrational andlucylou's journal entries  for today, my LJ Flist is fulla sauce!

(Sauce is of the line-drawn, hand-illustrated varieties, but  do I need to say possibly NSFW? Well, then, NSFW - but sauce of both male, female and not-exactly-innocent-memories-of-youth varieties is therein. Rawr.)

Picture myself and my lady wife sat in the car, on the way out of Guildford. Peter Gabriel is on the stereo, and we're both singing along loudly and with gusto:

"Don't talk back - Just drive the car!
Shut your mouth - I know what you are!
Don't say nothing! - keep your hands on the wheel
Don't turn around - this is for real!"

"Do you think it's worrying that we're both singing along to a domestic row with this much relish?"
(Pause) "Why?"

Well, that was fun: A late-teenager just 'egged' me. It must have been very fustrating for them. The egg hit the crook of my arm and body and dropped unbroken, neatly into my coat pocket.

No mess, no panic caused, no fun at all - just a raised eyebrow from me as we walked past - and they even lost the egg!

It's a transition. we've moving towards crisp evenings and snuggly coloured scarves and gloves - Boots crunching on snow and people's breathing visible on the air. Warm coffee leaving delicious steam trails from paper cups held in gloved hands. Friends and chats around the fire and snow dancing to the ground in darkened streets. Children in brightly coloured boots and woollens - and the excuse as an adult to wear brightly coloured boots and woollens ourselves.

We're moving from summer to winter, the nights are getting longer but the world is becoming more a more interesting place, visible and alive in a way that doesn't exist in the summer.

It's all good.

You know, this is actually awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUuwEq98ByM (from @shortpacked on twitter)

Twitter lists: Just like Livejournal friends groups, but public so with 1000x the possibility of giving insult.
Niiiiice...

No posts since 9:59? Odd - test post.

Four boxes or "media has been disabled" messages at the bottom of your post? You've been got by the worm that was wandering LJ earlier today - http://news.livejournal.com/117957.html for details.

(The hole's been fixed, but some friends-only posts may now be open and spammers likely have your email - see post for details) If you see someone on your flist affected, please do point them at them at the above post also - thanks. :)

Pure. Comedy. Genius.

I'm not a big fan of humour derived from the 'dogs and cats are automatic enemies' stereotype.

But this? The expression makes it.
