wholly-craft-3_03

BORED IN SPACE sketchbooks are now officially in stock at the best store in Columbus, Wholly Craft! on North High Street (Clintonville, they call it). I have trouble with my ROI at this store because while they sell sketchbooks like crazy, I ALWAYS BUY LOADS OF AWESOME THINGS EVERY TIME I GO IN. It is in your best interest to visit at once.

We’re also on Etsy, if you’re into paying the exact same price in a way that denies me a few cents. WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOU.

inspaceannounce

Dudes, I am so pumped to announce BORED IN SPACE: the new infinite edition of sketchbooks for you to buy. There are so many awesome things about these sketchbooks, I must make a bulleted list.

  • They have the 2 most awesome aesthetic qualities in one package: chrome foil and fluorescent color. This will absolutely blow your mind.
  • They are the most affordable BORED sketchbook yet. $7.99
  • They are filled with the heaviest weight paper BORED has ever used; you can draw with a Sharpie and have confidence it will not bleed to the next page.
  • This paper comes in 5 killer colors. Choose your favorite or get all 5 in a gift set for $36.99.
  • The cover is actually a sheet of foil-coated bubble cushion, which means a UFO could crash directly into your sketchbook and not only would it survive, the Men In Black would confiscate it because they would think it was debris from the craft.

You can buy In Space sketchbooks here.

You can download In Space wallpapers here.

P.S. BORED has a new Facebook Fan Page and you can follow me on Twitter. The Twitter thing is hit-or-miss. You’ve been warned.

bored

You know how sometimes you sit through a fireworks display, and the grand finale comes and it’s all out of synch with “Proud to be an American” playing over the radio and it ends 2 minutes short and they overuse the lame green ones? This is kind of like that.

I paved my road to Hell by intending to make a big Bored announcement today, but a migraine yesterday and a (maybe) broken thumb today are telling me, IT’S NOT HAPPENING.

Well, the announcement still exists, but it’s not finalized or polished up or even READY, but good enough to bet on… so here is a giant marketing fart for you to hear and smell:

We’re launching a new sketchbook line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (exclamation points in lieu of photography). The new sketchbook will be at once the most durable, slickest, radicalest, and most affordable option for which you have ever had the opportunity to shovel me money. They look really sweet and people are pumped about them. They were just tagged by NASA to be the only sketchbook certified to withstand atmospheric reentry on 9 out of 10 extrasolar planets. THAT’S HUGE.

…So, more to come I guess. Sorry kind of.

In the spirit of Easter, Bored has returned from the great beyond to bestow blessings upon all mankind. SOME things require more than three days’ preparation, especially in the absence of divine assistance, so, YES; seven and a half months is EXACTLY how long it takes to prepare for the upcoming week. Protest ye not, for The Ideatron always resurrects at its earliest possible convenience.

LO! For each of the next SEVEN DAYS, which equals ONE WEEK, I will demonstrate how I have or have not “lost my touch” by serving up a brand new blog entry brimming with what may arguably be called “content.” This should be quite a feat considering I have only planned out ONE of them… But it is the most important one: ON THE SEVENTH DAY, WHEN EVERYONE ELSE IS RESTING, A GREAT ANNOUNCEMENT SHALL COME FORTH FROM THE IDEATRON. What I am saying is this week will be awesome.

For my first act, and for the sake of self-gratification, here are all the things I have been doing for the past 62.5% of a year instead of getting all bloggy:

DIRECTING CREATIVE BEST 08 [the greatest event in the history of civilized humanity]

CONCEIVING A HUMAN [a close second JUST KIDDING WIFE]

PUSHING LANE AVE APPAREL [chic attire for you to buy]

GETTING VIRTUALLY BEAT UP FOR A FAKE LOGO DESIGN [really fake]

FERTILIZING MY LAWN [to surpass the status quo]

WINNING SOCCER CHAMPIONSHIPS [yes, plural]

GETTING REALLY SICK AGAIN [January conspires with Flonase annually]

See ya tomorrow suckers! (If you have any ideas for what I can write about please post in the comments section below. Please.).

ZZZZZZZ

Ladies and gentlemen, it is my duty to announce that I am preoccupied until November. This blog will suffer. It will feel neglected, then become thirsty, then hungry, then scavenge on what little it can find. It will wither and collapse into a slumbery coma, when suddenly, through the cold night, I will once again appear on my glittering stallion to save the day and revive this emaciated creature to full health.

In reality I am busy working on this:

CREATIVE BEST 2008

It’s a competition for designers, writers, illustrators and photographers. Deadline for submissions is SEPTEMBER 18 so GET ENTERED.
