The more I add entries to this blog, and the more I read everyone’s entries, I’m inspired to get back into blogging. I was reminded of my high school days (which wasn’t really to long ago) So I did it, I started a new personal blog.

At first I didn’t know what I was going to do with this thing. I have the tendency to start something and not see it through. When I was younger, and had more spare time, I would start sewing something and get busy or frustrated and drop the project all together. I want to work on my lack of drive. And I will! It’s spring, I’ve got some growing to do!

Something that I think I definitely need to grow is my personal fashion. I’ve started following a few fashion blogs and sites.

I was reminded of a street fashion site Cycle Chic during our Cycle Through show, which was great, but if you’re interested in fashion and bikes; check out Cycle Chic.

Cycle Through was fun and is done. Now this Saturday is the opening for Dennis McNett and John Reardon and I am not missing this show!

I personally wanna see Dennis McNett the man, coz he makes some crazy good prints.

I said he was crazy good,
Hope to see you Saturday :]

“Borrowed Time“ April 3-25

Opening Saturday April 3rd 7-10 pm

for “Borrowed Time ” with NYC Artists Dennis McNett & John Reardon.

Reardon offers one-of-a-kind, brightly colored, “tattoo” style paintings and ink drawings with a style “permanently borrowed from mid 20th century tattoo flash… cut up and rearranged…”

He can be seen anywhere between Merlin’s Tattoo shop, a shop featured on the hit TV show “Miami Ink,” and Copenhagen, Denmark, where he lends his creative hand to Bright Side Tattoos. Patrons can also soak in the mind-blowing wood block prints of New York’s Dennis McNett. With works featured in The New York Times and Juxtapoz Magazine, McNett’s work is sure to impress even the most seasoned art connoisseur. He has created designs for Volcom, Anti-Hero skateboards, Vans and Addidas to name a few.

“Surviving the fires that purged the earth from the mighty battles of

ancient kings and greed scorned gods, two lost souls discovered the

charred remains of fallen warriors still grappling the bloody severed

goat head of Baphomet, forever banished to the realm of the underworld.

Through the resurection of these once great warriors , the lost souls will

be chosen to reveal the history of the true battle of death between man and god.”

Last week Maggie and I took a little day trip to Athens. It’s a rare treat and it was the perfect time of year. Our mission was to drive up and pick up some bird houses for the shop made by Wing Ding Construction. And our special treat was to eat at The Grit-mmmm….

We had a couple other to do’s on our check list as well:
1) Agora for antinque-in (by the way if you’re looking for a designer bag they have a bunch you can even lease or pay on lay away-crazy crazy)
2) shopping on the square to look for new artists and get inspired but what others are doing.
3) ate some fro yo with almond,blueberries and Chocolate chips!
4) visit our friend and awesome artist David Hale’s new tattoo shop and gallery
Anchor Tattoo & Gallery

We also stopped by Satisfactory Screen Printing to say hi and see what new designs they had been working on. They had a really amazing hand painted sign this old yocal from athens had painted for them.

Hey dudes , Haley here..up for another exciting run around on the good ole bloggarz!

So personally in my life I have hit a small rough patch…I blame it on the weather.
The whole lack of sunshine and vitamin d stuff. Anywho and I was thinking about what makes me feel better. Some prefer cozying up with a good book, others calling in sick at work and takin a day off. But me you ask? Well I love nature and animals. In the few days we have had decent sun shine I went crazy and bought all my favorite herbs. I painted pots teal and yellow and pink polka dots! I buried some of my crystals in the moist soil for a recharge. And last but not least,grabbed up my guinea pig Tyrel and squeezed him till he went limp. Being outside and breathing in that freshly tilled soil and sunshine does a body good. Animals as well have their own healing ability. If you dont believe me, read this article on pet therapy by someone I am sure is smart…http://www.sniksnak.com/therapy.html

That is why Young Blood has their very own little spirit guide Ms. Jolene. Jolene charms the pants of the young and old with her green eyes , soft black hair, and missing limb. She stretches and basks in the love of all who worship her. She is great to have around the shop as Young Blood’s little mascot. Jolene comforts some with her animal charm and yet injurs some with her quick temper. Gotta love that little stank. Anyways , to comfort the souls of the ones reading. I am going to post kitty pictures. the end.
