free flyer project- part II

yeah ha ha! another flyer from my "free flyer project".
i have made some new ones recently, just wanna go retrospect one more time. plus, ruining the surprise would be unthinkable. uh fuck, i did rework this for the new locale, so...

chomells?

here's an interesting artifact that i discovered across the street from my house in bloomington earlier this year. the inability to spell the word "homeless" is terrifying! of course this reading of the text is based purely on my assumption that the one who penned this was trying to spell "homeless". "chomells" or "homells" could in fact be the name of the creator, or of another person.
no, fuck it, they were trying to spell "homeless".
"chomells" still hangs proudly in our new home.
god bless.

i made a bong outta a josta bottle once...

"middle school matchmaker" by: William Gass

Here's a totally taser factory "thing" that happened to my friend William a while back. He posted this after it happened, but i had to revisit it. The following is his account:


I received a mistaken text at work tonight, but instead of ignoring it, I assumed the role of the desired party. The following is the actual text-conversation that transpired, keystroke-for-keystroke.

free flyer project

an oldie but goodie... free flyer project! this is one of my favorites from the first round of flyers back in the day. i'm redoing a few and making some new ones to hang up soon. the best part of the project is receiving the replies. fun and easy public art is the best.

"Night Chop of the Night"

"Night Chop of the Night #1"

I am gonna stalk up in your stuff. 9 floors to stalk on.

The wrong floor means, that you had better stalk on hard! damn hard!
Stalk back down and you will be alright.

Stalk on! , you eclectic butcherer of men and women, child, and of animal.

Child and animal stalker. Stalk so fucking hard that your mask gets stalked out!

Took off their mask to chop on body. Took off their mask and chopped on hard, and chopped it off, out, and chopped it off!

"Is this a god stalker... with hard chopping motion?"

"Chopped without mask! Chopped with disaster operation: infinite chopping."

"I have thundered down. To chop up."

magical healthy ball= fun ball, dangerous ball.

these are probably really fun. i've never opened my box of magical healthy ball. zak had some out at a party one night. i was really scared that he was gonna hit me with one...he didn't. must have read the caution notice. you should too, it's fun...

breaking up is fun to do...

tara donovan

"pony 3 fkup"--by: jeremy kennedy

life has been super hectic with moving preperations, moving, working, and just trying to live and sleep occasionally...so of course, i decide to plan and complete a whole new series of paintings amidst all this noise!
the product:
"pony 3 fkup"

a 9 piece collection of new paintings.pony 3 fkup (30x30")

fedz (30x2?")
pony 3 fkup #3: telecaster (48x24")
a.safer.crush. (28x26")joe's gym job (30x26")

*the "pony 3 fkup" series is now a part of the private collection skip van cel.

california dreamin'...

...is probably one of my favorite oldie-pop songs ever. it's also my current state of mind. j. shelley is already out there and for the past few weeks every moment and action has been devoted to the move.

we did find the time to have some fun, and throw down one last (knee shy) performance piece here in bloomington. we presented "no, thank you" at the open house for bloomington's new saving grace venue "the ritual room".

i will put some video up as soon as i get a copy!

back to work.
