snotty b*tches!

This is:. cocky, conceited, pompous, pretentious. Canvas bag.

Pakorn:. Well this innocent looking canvas bag is all of the above. It can't and won't be translated by me (it'll get lost in translation) but trust me the attitude is all there. There is nothing ordinary about it! Enjoy--all my Thai readers. 

To those that can't read this let's talk about how the Thais recycle. 

Man and do they recycle. This bag started its life as an ordinary canvas bag that was probably given out at a convention or some sort of government event. Which is ordinary enough, there was probably such a surplus that they resold/given/stolen/took [most likely at the government cost]. Then some one took such care crossing out the original locations. But left the logo just in case you didn't know where it came from. Then they meticulous sewed on a large pocket that hides about 3/4 of the logo, silk screen this fabulous message on the back which is now the front! I bought this bag for cheap, and I mean cheap, about one dollar... but with so much work and time that was spend on this I would've gladly given them two for their creativity. Heck, did I mention the even sew a slot for pen holder.

w/o.

This is:. just the right amount of garnish. Wooden bark pencil decorated with contemporary hill tribe head, with painted cartoon-like faces.

Pakorn:. Picked these delightful things up in Northern Thailand, Chiang Mai Walking Street. It's definitely my all time favorite shopping place [minus the mosquitoes]. Cooler weather of the north, an abundance of inspiration and all things and everything handmade at a very reasonable price. We planed our trip for the weekend just so we can hit up the market on both Sat. and Sun. But with our luck and the unpredicted monsoon season, it was mostly rained out. Blah... just look at doll #1 [left] for my expression right now! Anywho, pick up a couple of great things.

This-n-that:. I was hanging out at a Jim Thompson's exhibit and saw one of my favorite quote ever.

"I CAN LIVE WITHOUT A LOT OF PRETTY THING"

Which is completely true, but so not Pakorn. So I change to to something more fitting:

Opt One- "I CAN LIVE WITH A LOT OF PRETTY THING"

but my Fav- "A LOT OF PRETTY THINGS CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT ME"

now that's much better.

hey you. yes you!

This is:. hey you, yes you! Letterpress on Fabriano single card 4.5" x 6.75" using Jensen 24pts.

Pakorn:. Umm...m just like it said. I kinda forgot about this quote until now. I saw it everyday when I was working in the library post High School. There was a small signage above the kitchen sink, reminding peeps to clean up after themselves. Most people probably ignored it but for me it was so clever. So, I revised it with a few addition. Also, I ♥ this typeface-- look at the punctuation the [.] and the [!] makes me melt.

Oh, the library version was sans Jack Ass of course.

in the a.m.

This is:. in the a.m. Letterpress on Fabriano single card 4.5" x 6.75" using Graver 24pts.

Pakorn:. I saw a quote that said, 'Nothing good happens after 2:00 a.m.' And I thought to myself that it's so true. Then I made up another quote that said 'Everything wicked happens at 5:00 a.m.' which again to me was right on the dot. But I mean wicked in a good way. 

For those crazy peeps that are up during that hour, I find that it's the best time for your creative flow. It's when you been up all night fighting sleep (or rather not to sleep) and then it hit you bang-- 5:00 a.m. an amazing idea, that's when you take it and run.

Other wickedly great thing about 5:00 a.m. are peace, quiet, um... sex, sunset, and I'm sure you could come up with many more wicked things to add to this list.
