So I'm trying out indoor rock climbing to keep me from getting too blob-like in my studio chair. I gotta say it was super fun and challenging although the shoes supplied were painful at best. So me and a couple buddies decided to go shopping for some proper gear. We headed out to Berkeley and hit up a couple stores. I founds some shoes that were relatively inexpensive and some chalk for my sweaty hands.
On the way back we got the serious case of the munchies and stopped off at Popeye's for some greasy chicken goodness. Mistake numero uno. Albeit hilarious, we get harassed by a typical street husslah calling himself Pretty Pete. You read that right. He had on clothes more expensive than the two of my buddies and I combined and was asking for tacos. We pointed out the fact that he should be buying us tacos! Needless to say he promptly lost interest.
Waiting til the middle of rush hour to head home, mistake numero dos. Back into the car we go and start heading down 80 to the bridge and we see a sign that says "3 lanes closed on the Bridge" Doh! Damn big rig drivers. So 2+ hours later and a different bridge crossed, we finally arrive home.
So what does this have to do with Steam Punk? Absolutely nothing actually. Although I do have two designs to share. Actually it's just one with the colors reversed. A good friend of mine over at Marsbarn, asked me to come up with a steam punk motif to be used on her handcrafted dice bags she sells, among other things. This came after seeing some of the stuff I was designing for a personal project. She had a bunch of clients interested in a steam punk design but couldn't find anything she liked. When the bags eventually go on sale I'll post an announcement and a link. In the meantime go on over and browse her other wares.
