Mandy is one of the baristas at Trouble Coffee in San Francisco. She had this done last night, in one sitting. “I have a pretty high pain threshold.”
I asked about the fireflies and the jar and she said something like, “You know how kids will collect fireflies, and they’ll put the top on, and then they’ll be dead…” She designed it herself. Tattooing by Nick Rodin at Blackheart Tattoo
Yesterday in San Francisco. Built in the last few weeks at Trouble Coffee on Judah Street by Ajax and crew. On the interior side are benches and plants.
This morning I got an email from straw bale experts Bill and Athena Steen, who are in Denmark and Finland doing clay plaster workshops. “Friland (Denmark) is a big story, a mortgage free community with lots of experimental and alternative building happening. Too much to write about, but a visit to their website will tell more: https://www.dr.dk/dr2/friland.…”

Years ago I wanted to do a poster on navajo rugs, and did this rough layout. Never did the poster, but it’s been on the wall in the office ever since.
From BoingBoing, posted by Xeni Jardin, via Rick Gordon:
“People look at a 1990s Volkswagen Beetle named “Vochol” during an exhibition on Huichol culture at the Museum of Puebla, near Mexico City August 10, 2011. The name “Vochol”, was conceived from a combination of “Vocho,” a popular term for Volkswagen Beetles in Mexico, and “Huichol”, a Mexican indigenous group. The car was decorated by indigenous craftmen from the Huichol community living in the states of Nayarit and Jalisco, using traditional beads and fabric. According to local media, the work will be auctioned after its exhibition in Paris and Berlin next year, with funds and proceeds going to the Huichols.”
