View Article  T-SHIRTS


I'm a person with too many T-shirts -- way too many T-shirts.  Periodically I make vows not to buy any more T-shirts, but sometimes you just can't help yourself.  Two years ago, on a visit to Memphis, Tennessee, I couldn't resist buying a T-shirt from Graceland, from the Sun Records studio and from the Stax studio.

Recently I broke down again.  I bought two T-shirts featuring the work of Fletcher Hanks, the worst comic book artist of all time, and one featuring the work of Amy Crehore, a terrific painter (the design is featured above.)

I really don't see how anyone could resist buying these T-shirts, so at the risk of enabling other people with T-shirt acquisition problems I will add that the Tickler T can be had here and the Hanks Ts here.  May I also remind you that T-shirt should always be spelled with a capital T, because only the capital T reflects the shape of the shirt.  A t-shirt would be some kind of turtleneck T.
View Article  WOODEN PINHOLE CAMERA


My friend Jae Song is selling a pinhole camera in a customized wooden casing online here.  It's awesomely beautiful and cheap, considering that the casing is handmade.

Jae, a brilliant cinematographer and expert on digital photography, writes this about the pinhole camera:

The thing I love about the pinhole camera is that it slows me down. Because of the long exposures, the camera needs to be placed down at a stable place and left alone for awhile. In this world of instantaneous gratification, it makes me wait. And while I wait, it makes me really look and see. I also like the fact there is no viewfinder, no lens to set focus nor aperture to adjust. It’s just me and time. I am forced to use my instincts. It brings back the thrill of mystery and wonder and surprise when the film comes back from the lab.

Jae also sells hand-made kites in hand-made wooden boxes and hand-drawn cards with pressed flowers -- you can see all of his hand-made stuff here.
