SUPER HITOPS - TOM BUCKHOLZ

This highly inaccurate color chart must have been posted at least 10 different places in the clothing section at the Salvation Army. Red is actually purple, as are Burgundy and Pink. Meanwhile, Purple is actually split down the middle, half blue, and half green. Teal and Blue are actually both green, while Green is tan. Even if the chart were accurate, what would its purpose be?

Below, some shots of record covers.


A cassette tape set called SELF- CONTROL has been lowered in price by 80%, despite how much the typography really pops.


This used cash register had some custom made buttons. I wish my computer had dedicated buttons for PAGERS and WORD PROCES.

I saw this desk at Salvation Army and thought it deserved its own post. Notice the date at the top, 1/7/99. I would have bought it & removed the surface to mount on my wall, but the price was $35.

Some of Kathleen’s new work, which she describes was made for a show in Brooklyn [called No Money No Problems] by a non-profit organization called “Recession Art”. It was a very cool show and the two girls behind it are amazing. Recession Art interviewed Kathleen about the dollar bill series.

I put out a request for people’s pictures of their TV’s, usually taken with cell phones (sometimes taken with other kinds of cameras). I also dug up a few of my own that I could find. So many awesome ones got sent in! I also had a few bookmarked that I had come across on facebook. I’ve noticed lots of these on tumblrs, etc, and love them as a new genre of photography.

You know, SPYROS HOREMIS?

This was “found” in the sense that it was “stolen from Brian and scanned”.
