@vansskate @vans if you made this color way, I wouldn't have to paint my shoes and make a reel about it.

I forgot I made this, and my guess is it will be lost on most people.

On our @stellaandchewys set our clients brought in a small crew to shoot some BTS and made this video. We love it and thought it was a great chance to see a bit of how we work. Our crew is usually so busy shooting the task at hand that it can be hard to capture proper BTS, so when they asked about filming us we were more than happy! We are so thankful to be able to work with such great people and love the work we do! #puppylove

On the next episode of “Things I have in my studio that you can have in your life” is the Scandifone.

The Scandifone, first released in 2007, is an injection molded acrylonitrile butadiene styrene with a push button dial on the underside that is intended to replicate the Cobra phone, or Ericofon, design by Gösta Thames, Hugo Blomberg and Ralph Lysell through the 1940s-1950s.(1)(3) This version is manufactured by Bath, UK based Wild & Wolf.

The Ericfon, was Ericcson’s response to “The Crouching Dog” by Siemens in 1939. It had managed to integrate a dial and receiver into one, but the design was flawed and kept falling over during testing.(1) Ericcson was able to create this version through the use of thermoplastics and in 1950, they realized the first commercially available telephone to combine a receiver, dial and a microphone in a single unit.(1)

“Hanging on the Telephone by Blondie” was released in 1978 and is a cover of The Nerves version released in 1976 and written by Jack Lee.

Burt & Ruby Glass aren't to shabby together.

I’ve recently come to a number of conclusions; for the sake of time, I’m only going to get into two. The first is that I appear to have an unwavering curiosity in objects. The second is that I simply have retained too many of them. As a result, I am photographing and parting with many of the things I have accumulated. 

For Sale: Vintage Red Glass Pieces. Sold individually or as a set. No tariffs.

$5 each. (2x vases, 1x dish, glass)

Red glass gets its color from the amount of gold included in its creation. 

Available for pickup from my studio in Brooklyn, DM if you want an item shipped. 

For some of these, a limited number of prints will be created (remember how I mentioned my passion for objects). DM if you are curious about those.

New items should be listed weekly, and there will be a spreadsheet (at some point) that I can share with you to see what else is available. 

There will also be gear available (lightstands, cameras (digital and film) darkroom equipment, photo & art books, and bags).

Also this song feels a bit too raunchy to he trending on reels.

It's been about 14 years since I've painted anything. In October of last year I gave myself permission to paint a few things, just to have fun. I made this painting for my sister and her family.

Now she has to live with it forever.

Should I keep going?

Seemed like the right time to share this delightful version from the holiday campaign I helped make for @casper with the truly wonderful team @mightyoakgrows

I grew up around bottles of Huy Fong Foods' Sriracha. There was always a partially spent bottle in the fridge door, at eye level, which, in hindsight, was probably a pretty low shelf. That cock would gaze back at me from that red sauce as I reached for the apple juice we made from frozen concentrate. My father put it on many things and loved it on his microwaved eggs. Those eggs left permanent yellow-brown rings on the inside of the white bowls, and I never wanted to use them.

I don’t know when I started using sriracha or what compelled me to try it, but it happened, and as an adult, I, too, put it on many things; those closest to me would argue too many things.

I recently finished this bottle, one in a long line of bottles. As I cleaned it out before it got thrown into the ocean, I appreciated its label design with the tiny drops of water that had accumulated where the sweet sauce once was. I’ve been intrigued by the label since I laid eyes on it, long before I was tempted to try it.

It’s not the first time I’ve attempted imaging a used bottle; my last attempt was in 2020, and that bottle cost $3.89. I don’t know what my next bottle will cost. I’m not entirely up to speed on Mexico’s pepper supply, but I hope the next time I go to the store, there is one at eye level.

All of this is to say that I’ve been thinking about my death, as we all do, and consumption, not the disease; however, one could argue this form is also a disease, and all the things we are sold in the image of its newness, and not the used version we actually know, experienced or enjoyed. This bottle of sweet, spicy deliciousness was relished, and I wanted to photograph it before it joined the plastic island in the ocean.
