i've been noticing a lot of hippie-organic-hipster-faux letterpress styles around town lately. getting a bit over it... well, over all the mimics. the ones that have some effort put into them are pretty clever.

also been seeing a lot of overpriced low quality paintings in coffee shops lately - more than usual. the ones that are nothing more than 6"x9" lime green paint with a purple swirl dead center and 2-3 shiny rocks glued to it on a wallgreens canvas that isnt even properly stretched... asking $175 for it... and there's 30 of them up on the wall.
