rip off city volume 1

so i think there is something to be said for rip off graphics.

maybe because i grew up in the skateboarding visuals of the 90s, maybe it's because the 3rd tape i ever bought for myself was weird al, maybe i just think it's funny? whatever it is, here are some:

this is actually an official record store day t-shirt for luna music in indianapolis and criminal records in atlanta. sorry raymond. but you can get one of these at either of those stores. on a shirt.

this is just real life. i used to skate everyday from morning until night, and i did that before i even drank coffee or got into scones. how did i do it? now a dream come trues is meeting at the spot with a donut and a piping hot cup of brown ala transportation unit bros. maybe cruise around, hit some curb nubs, drag my hand a little. it is true, brothers and sisters. yet we are still gnarly!

and i just thought of this 10 minutes ago. cool dad comix = new dad realities. i wish i could say this was not autobiographical but i cannot. it's hard to get a baby to go to sleep to an albert ayler record. and that's ok!but seriously a baby will keep you in the now, make you not care about your records, make you realize this very present moment and what is real and important in life and that is this right here. boom!

note: maybe i should put references down for comparison? do this:

google search: sonic youth goo, bones brigade ripper, oh god why can't my boyfriend skate.
