price drop. $100 shipped worldwide.

patrik ervell faded black grosgrain jeans / size 32

asking $110 -> $100 / £70 -> £65 shipped worldwide. if you're in the uk, shipping will be less. i can also do central london meetups.

i just bought these off sf, but they're a bit too small for me. despite being tagged 32, these are probably better suited for someone who is a 30. there's a small rip in the seam in the silk waistband (right pic), but this can easily be fixed. other than that, there are no signs of wear and are in excellent condition.

i just (mostly) finished that up yesterday. any feedback would be awesome.

jane saw this and said "no, please."

on your server you can also set a directory or certain files to be password protected.

it's an agnes martin painting.

@tyro1, i really like that. how big is it.

@yea! you can also use the_excerpt instead of the_content for shorter blurbs that would lead into actual pages or posts.

working on redoing my portfolio site. the front page is getting close to done, but not much else. any feedback appreciated.

@düm, mac icons can also handle transparency, so you could just make a transparent icon instead of selecting a small portion of the background for your icon.

what's your desktop image of? it looks awesome!

@magnetic, looks great! sort of reminds me of david lynch's "six men getting sick" in a way.

@düm, yea!, i've found that one of the best ways to get images from a wordpress post/page is by using custom values and pulling the custom values via your template. it separates the image and text, but it also doesn't have any superfluous markup to it that almost every cms is guilty of.

for example, upload your image, but instead of placing it into your post/page, copy the file URL, create a custom value like "portfolio-item", and then paste the file URL for the image as the value. publish/update your page, and then you can call the custom value "portfolio-item" in your post/page loop within an img tag.

if this makes no sense or seems confusing, i can upload a quick tutorial or something with code snippets.

wordpress is really great as a basic cms. i use it for pretty much all my client web work. my only complaint about it is that i haven't really found a great commerce system to go with it. that wp-e-commerce plugin isn't really that great and is really buggy from my experience. i know it can be integrated with a rails fairly easily as well as magento, but i haven't had a chance to check either of them out.

also late, but this rules.

could you explain the process in them a bit?

2nd that, isn't a woodcut just a type of collagraph? I'm guessing you just knifed up your woodblock for the first one, but on the 2nd how did you get such minimal contact with the substrate at the bottom. mega dope.

thanks for kind words.

for the woodcut, it's just carved and sanded (selectively). it's the same block of wood, with the darker blue on one side and black on the other. i didn't really do any type of special inking process.

the collagraph is different because i didn't ink it up the same. the top part was done via brayer like the woodcut, but the bottom part with minimal contact was just done by rubbing in the ink into the cuts rather than having the ink sit on the surface like above. it's also done on some sort of weird particle board that i found in a dumpster. the surface (when inked) sort of looks like a really fine aquatint.

also - does anyone have any experience with subdomains? we wanted to set it up at something like library.nofriendsfor.us or something - i'm assuming the subdomain is actually just linked to an html document off the main domain i.e. nofriendsfor.us/library.html?

subdomains are linked to folders on your server. for example, "library.nofriendsfor.us" should lead to "nofriendsfor.us/library/".

measurements? is this the slim or regular cut?

for the record, i didn't draw the screenprint. i screenprinted the covers / records and assembled them. those three drawings were done by johannes hoie. i'm pretty sure you can still get copies of the record here.

here's some stuff i made before moving across the atlantic. click for bigger versions.
