As many of you know, I have a mildly popular Wordpress theme called ThreatToCreativity. It’s a mixture of my total nerd-dom and my more ethereal, irreverant side. It’s a disorderly homage to random colors and obnoxious tastes. I expected some humorous aknowledgement. What I didn’t expect was a ground-swell of people who [...]

Notes:
A little something I put together for my messenger bag making. I actually just got the idea from the photos Jon shot of me earlier today. It’s bits and pieces from video I had taken months ago, photos of me by Jon, and photos I shot of the new bag today.
Thanks to: JonnyPockets (photos) and [...]

Notes:
This “Casper” bag is the product of some hard research and a bit of practicing making other bags. Although this bag is truly featureless (no pcokets or anything like that), it is a real sign of progress and hope for me.
“Casper” is a turning point in my bag design and production. Even if I [...]

Notes:
This is a basic bag that I put together in about an hour last week. Althouh the design is simplistic, the fabrics are flavorful and quite nice. The exterior is a common cotton stripe (off-white/forrest), and the liner is a super-sturdy soft wool (grey). As I said, this is a simple construction bag really used [...]

Notes:
This bag is not yet completed. I didn’t have the correct web strapping handy, so it will have to wait until tomorrow. The features on this bag definatley surpass any of my previous creations. And although some of the bag I am not happy with, it is a step onto a whole new realm. More [...]

Notes:
This bag was a lot of fun to create. It was a gift for JonnyPockets on his birthday, Jan 29th. I actually was working on a wholly different messenger bag for him, but after its tremendous failure (having to deal with binding two types of fabric for a shell and liner), I had to move [...]

Bag Beta….SUCCESS!
This bag was a huge step for me. But first, things first. Photo dump….then see detail below.
-bag itself-

-bag on hot model-

As I said, the production of this big was a big step for me. I did it in about the same time as the first bag, but with planning and being less rusty [...]

Notes:
This is something I put together a few weeks ago for Scion/Toyota. I utilized a 2008 xB body and a design I developed based on some photos I took previously of Allison Harvey. The design is drawn and colored by me on the wall. There were guides I set to be sure the piece [...]

Just some things I made this evening. I have said it before and I will reiterate it, Sharpies are my love. If I was caught in a time warp and sent back in time to redo the world’s greatest art works, I would have only ask to have a chisel tip, fine tip, and super [...]

Me, cause they’re full of awesome shit. For instance, this last Saturday.
Let’s start with the essential materials:
Smokes, Amelia, a Pile of Boxes, and one very nice Razor Blade.

Most people think you need to go to bars or clubs… but leave it to the master and I won’t steer you wrong. So, Amelia and I eat [...]
