Welcome to the darkside....

This is gonna be another lame arsed post. Muh life still blows custard worms. I apologise profusely to those of u that read this and think, "Cud this punk waste anymo of my time? I need counselling to heal me from these mental wounds!" Well tuff turtleneckers... u came here on ur own accord, so u shant be thinking any negatives wen reading this blasted entry!

Ummm... well that leads me to me next riveting point- actually I'm still picking me brain for something to write on. GOT IT!!! hahahha....I read this marketing article about how there's been a move toward the morbid in street art, fashion and cute collectible toys. It was a real refreshment from the lovey dovey, goodwill cheer that's clogged the marketing pipes for the past few years. Even though the re-emergence of the whole 80's punk thing could have sparked the doom and gloom theme- I know I welcome it with open arms. The sinister undertones definitely appeal to me. Some good examples of where this creepy has been crawling:

• The 55 DSL "Dark Tales" campaign
• Tim Burton's sinister Death of the Oyster Boy characters.
• Cutting edge Australian brand Schwipe launched their new line of clothing called "The Brain range" all adorned with Grim Reapers and other gory motifs.
• Adidas sneaker range sports the skull and cross bone insignia
• Street art found in NY's Lower East side and Williamsburg, Brooklyn offers evidence of nightmarish gore in hipster creativity.
• Cashmere designer, Lucien Pellat-Finet added a hint of the darker side to his collection with the skull theme.


I love it, I love it! Finally peeps are catering for us freakish fellas (and I do use that term very loosely). When I find the time in my chaotic day, I'll try and google some links or pic refs on the above for those of u interested muppets. (or if any of u readers beat me to it- hook a sista up aye :D)

In da mean time keep sifting thru da moosh of hypocrisy...
